4). A Fadeaway Dream of Justice to Redeem - Book Review By : write 2 right
This is definitely the most unique book of poetry that I have read to date.

10). Amapola - Book Review By : write 2 right
Alan Heywood writes a stimulating, though sometimes improbable, adventure novel in Amapola. What I mean by this is that the characters are seemingly very lucky or were simply at the right place, at the right time. Yet, other scenes are somewhat reminiscent of a James Bond movie. I liked the humor Alan dabbled throughout the novel and admired the st...
