Oh, yes, I review books. Below is one I've written for fellow Cogwheel author Gary Beck. If you're interested in having me read & review your book, send me a note on my contact page!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Most of the time I read books for escapism. Sometimes I read a book because it's good for me. This is one of those.

The next time you pass a homeless person or family on the street and think, "What did he/she/they do to end up here?" or worse, you owe it to yourself and the rest of humanity to read this book. Once you do, you'll see that homelessness isn't a moral failing; it's a condition into which some of us are forced by circumstances that simply outweigh the resources we have on hand to control them. WHat I like most about this book is that it reads like a 19th-century morality tale, a la Rise of Silas Lapham, and yet the protagonists are not at fault for what's happening to and around them. There's no villain per se, but plenty of adversaries, most of whom are obdurate and uncaring rather than purely evil. There are a few scary scenes and I wouldn't recommend this book for young readers, but I do encourage you to read it to glimpse the pocked underbelly of the richest and most famous city in the world.
