Review: Unexpected Joy
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 22, 2011
I've never read a book of this genera, but am tempted to pick up another, though I worry it may not be so professionally composed. Lame Excuses' distinct voice and beautifully-written descriptions sucked me back in time, and down to the rural Deep South, with an ease that I can only envy as a fellow indie author. From pick-me-ups to rhubarb pies, I felt like I was watching this book unfold instead of reading it. The story was always engaging, and by the time I reached its painfully heart-wrenching end, I couldn't put it down. A 4.5 would be a more accurate rating then the one I've given above, and with just a smidgen more polish, I'd give Lame Excuses all five stars. - SentientSurfer
