I liked this short tale.

The connection between our two main characters from early on caught my attention and I even liked their bedroom scenes which seemed to lean more towards the erotica end of things, and that isn't my favourite thing, though I must admit that after the first few scenes I got a bit fed up of the dirty-talk and just skimmed the rest of them.

As for the romance aspect I liked how it was light and easy to read. I just wish we'd had some sort of explanation for why he acted like he did, though since it's in three parts I'm sure it'll come to light in the next book.

I would be interested in continuing the series at some point.

Long story short (and really, it's sloths, fer Pete's sake! They are as chill as the Dude! No need for long, drawn-out reviews!): Ms. Cooke knows sloths! Seriously!! In addition to all her work she has done at the Sloth Sanctuary, working with rescued sloths, she has found time to share some ridiculously cute sloth photos, along with some inspirational words of wisdom from the likes of folks like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Harper Lee.

It was very difficult for me to not finish this in one sitting. However, like an exquisite meal, each "morsel" I read was to be savored! Do yourself a favor and get this book! Your heart, and your Soul, will be most grateful indeed!

I was going to start this by saying this was the earliest set of the Biggles stories, back in The First World War.

Then I did a bit of research, and discovered that it depends upon how (and what) you are counting as a Biggles story/book - see http://www.biggles.info/

Perhaps, then, it would be better to say that this is the earliest set of any I have read.

Published in 1935, this is (apparently) a collection of 12 separate short stories, all of which are loosely linked together and follows some of Biggles earlier exploits.

I realise I'm not the target audience for these (I'm now too old). I don't care: sometimes it's nice just to re-live your childhood!
