Chris Hooker (419 KP) rated Wayworn Lovers in Books

This book had some holes in the plot but not enough to sink it. The characters made up for what was lacking and since this is a character driven story it worked. Brooke did a good job describing anxiety issues and that made Giselle seem more authentic. This gets four stars from me because despite the short fallings it was still a pleasure to read.

This was George Saunders' convocation speech that he gave at Syracuse University. He speaks about kindness, and being kind throughout your lifetime. It was a nice speech, but I wasn't as moved as I thought I'd be. I think it's because I recently read Mr. Saunders' short story, Fox 8. Fox 8 was a million times more of an emotional event for me than this speech was.

One of the classics of English literature, this short story is also by the same author who wrote "Treasure Island" (amongst others).
What I found interesting, though, is in how Mr Hyde is described within: unlike the malformed gaint monstrosity that is familiar form TV and film, Hyde is actually described as younger than Jekyll and of a lesser stature, while still projecting an aura of evil.

This was over before I even knew it and my heart is threatening to pound straight through my chest. Why do I persist in reading these things right before bedtime is a mystery to me but man, this short story was fantastic and packs one heck of a fright. I am completely enthralled with the authors and look forward to devouring more of these books.

Short, slightly unbelievable, erotic romance.
I found the whole concept just a little odd. A company that forces you to have sex with the clients they have while you keep cleaning their house or risk deportation back to whatever country you came from??
The romance was kinda sweet when it got into it and though story was a little unrealistic for me, I liked it.
