Large is the Smallest We’ve Got Review

Large is the Smallest We've Got: A Jigsaw Puzzle

By Jed Hamilton

An unlikely mix of characters is thrown together by the 1994 Los Angeles earthquake. They spend the next five years tearing themselves apart.

A biting satire set in a chaotic Hollywood. Quirky, funny, and dark.

The book has a bittersweet love-triangle at its core, and is ultimately moving while never losing touch with a wry sense of the absurd.

MY HONEST REVIEW OF Large is the Smallest We've Got

This is a story that introduces you to the lives of a group of friends, revealing how they met, and the events that defined their relationship. It is told by one of the group, and left to you to figure out which one it is. It is definitely a jigsaw puzzle to solve, and had me hooked from the start.

I love this type of back and forth storytelling. It helps to define the characters and really get an in-depth personality from them. The author has a knack for giving you an outline, and then filling in the blanks when needed. The humor dispersed throughout kept the story in balance. I also liked the way the author wove historical events into the story, giving an authentic feel for the era depicted.

A Backed Up John Book Review

A Backed Up John: A Story of Gods, Goddesses, Mortals, and the Odd Stuff In Between

By Michael McAfee

Take a step from Reality and the everyday worries and escape to a place where the possibility of unlimited power is possible and everyone around you wants the secrets to obtaining it. John Smythe might have ultimate power but he is not he person not to go to. He hasn't a clue how he became, nor what he's doing. A comedy of errors takes John Smythe on an adventure he'll never forget through Ancient Greece Mythology. He will discover that the Ancient world of mythology isn't all that ancient. 

John Smythe, a man of honor and trust, goes along with everything that is occurring about him on his misadventure with hopes of finding the truth. Armed with little more than a mind filled with factual data, a scientific mind, and a tenancy to faint when things aren't right, he'll manage to find himself, his true nature, and the love of the Goddess of Music. 

Take a trip on the no so wild side and fall for John, he knows you will.

MY HONEST REVIEW OF A Backed Up John

John Smythe is an eccentric scientist. After an experiment blows up his apartment, he suddenly appears in Olympus, the mythological city of the gods. Zeus tasks him with following Hercules around to keep him out of trouble. When John notices different things from his time period that shouldn’t be there, he vows to get to the bottom of it. But can he do it without changing history?

This was an entertaining read about an oddball character on an imaginary adventure. John was a fun oddity, as well as the rest of the quirky characters. There were times that it was a bit hard to follow, but all in all, it was enjoyable.
