Poorly structured and shameful how easily its missed opportunities come at the expense of nonsense and fart jokes.

A Wall Street sci-fi thriller that feels like an aborted effort at a larger world-building exercise that was mercifully cut short.

Offers an entirely bland and flavorless romance story with all the nutritional value of celery.

Fails to present the material on its own merits, with a willingness to divide and obfuscate when clarity is needed.

Easily the most ambitious, most expansive entry yet. It’s also the most disappointing – for equally disappointing reasons.

Handles its anti-strip mining message like propaganda, minus the courtesy of giving readers any insight about how things actually work and function in the Appalachia.

Manages a few good laughs, but the 15th Get Fuzzy collection is still mostly disappointing.

Riley’s book reads like a giant finger-point with no realistic actions suggested.

Sausage factory fiction writing personified; not a bad book, but not a very good one either. It just exists, and nothing more.

A book full of gorgeous T&A, but I found myself desperately wishing it also had some Q&A.
