(Not) Judging Books by Their Covers

Self discovery, shmelf discovery. This is my reading adventure through the library, pure and simple.

Security by Stephen Amidon

   Halfway through the book and I was still waiting for something to happen, and then, just when I thought it was nothing but a series of vignettes, it finally pulled itself together into one story. Too bad by that time I was ready for it to be over without wanting to know the point of the reading hours I had already put in.
   Dark, depressing and definitely with no happiness in sight anywhere, Security follows a few citizens of Stoneleigh Massachusetts through their seemingly disparate lives that finally collide in betrayal, hurt, distrust and pain.


Favorite Quotes:

"His expression continued to shift until it landed somewhere between insurrection and anxiety."

"His brittle hair was styled to fight a desperate rearguard action against baldness..."


Overall Opinion:

If you enjoy slogging through a book just for a somewhat surprising ending then this one's for you.
