Whilst I partly liked Moody's humorous approach I found this book too patronizing and the advice too basic to get much out of this book.

Book Favorite

"A slim book of interconnected stories following a hapless drug addict nicknamed "Fuckhead." Humorous, dark, and moving, with prose that surprises with its drug fueled imagery."

In my opinion, not the best film that Marvel has made, but this latest feature from them is still very good, with good acting, good action and humorous scenes too. (0 more)

A fun intro to the witches story arc. Not one of my favorite books, as I enjoy the dialogue between Granny & Nanny, it is still humorous and worth the read.

"The Fry Chronicles" is an autobiography that’s as much fun to read as humorous fiction. You can read my full review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/12/21/a-fry-ed-life/

Oh my. Brandon you have done it again!

Firefight was completely unexpected. All of it!

Fabulously written with perfect humorous parts that meshed with the all encompassing seriousness that denotes a battle for survival.
