Bobbo's Reviews:

War and Peace (This Title is Stolen and No Relevant)

February 1, 2015 by Bobbo Leave a Comment

So I slacked off a bit on getting the reviews done in a prompt and efficient manner. I’ll try to do better. I promise nothing.

So.  This is my first attempt at a Cannonball Read book review.  I suppose I could have looked at the plethora of reviews that are already out there from people with actual experience.  But no.  Research is for losers.  I prefer to either fail spectacularly or just sort of kinda do it well enough to not be the worst thing ever. Most of my books that I am able to make my way through will be absorbed via audiobook, so whether I used my eyes […]
