Okay, so stop just a minute. <em>That Semicolon Bitch Had To Die</em>. Seriously? You name a book that? My first thought was, oookkkaaayyy. But, browsing online and seeing the author's Facebook posts and such, I figured I'd give it a shot. Sounded funny. Perhaps it truly is a good little novella. Boy, was I surprised/shocked! It was truly/amazingly awesome! Not being an author myself (though I do dream of/contemplate becoming one!), I sometimes overlook the over use of punctuation in stories. But, in Mr. Conrad's humorous novella, they are right where they need to be, making a witty, dark tale of love gone wrong come to life for the reader.Frankie's a forward slash kinda guy. Oh my god, his use of the forward slash for his thoughts is sometimes too hilarious. I loved it! I really did enjoy reading his side/thoughts during the story. As I read the story, it was like I was inside his head. It was truly funny, to say the least.Abbey....she's a character and a half. She loves a totally different kind of punctuation but the two of them find themselves attracted to each through an internet/real life relationship. As she and Frankie progress in their relationship, things don't look so good....and someone/something may just have to be eliminated.This story of humor and romance mixed with an authors classic/twisty take on the use of punctuation is quite addicting! Definitely a 5 Book worthy novella in my opinion. It will keep you laughing throughout, for sure. Tom Conrad's writing style is completely unique and gripping. He's made his way onto my favorite authors list and I will be looking forward to seeing what fun he has in store for his new fans next! I can't wait to go back and read some of his other works. Well done, Mr. Conrad! Truly/fabulously well done, Sir!~~~~Originated at Reviews By Molly
