    I would give this book a 3/10.  I don’t usually like crime/thriller or action books. I also really didn’t like that it was a true story because the descriptions of the deaths were definitely creeping me out to be honest. An... read full post >>

Posted by: chia chi ou-chin

The reading this week, Money to Burn, is one of the longer readings so far in the course (at around 200 pages which is still relatively short if I’m recalling back to Span312 where we once read a 400+ page book).
