Revenge Runs Deep!


      I recently had the pleasure of reading one of Jim Lehrer’s novels called The Special Prisoner. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Jim Lehrer he is most commonly known as the host of The News Hour on PBS.  The reading of this book was a requirement for my college English class but turned out to be a great read.
      The book The Special Prisoner is a novel written about a young man named John Quincy Watson who becomes a pilot of a B-29 bomber plane during World War II. It is a tale of his life before, during, and after he is taken prisoner by the Japanese. However, this book is very graphic and not for the faint of heart. It goes into great detail of John Watson’s time as a P.O.W. Revenge is very prominent in this book, and it showed me the that revenge runs much, much deeper than I ever thought it could.
      I was drawn into this book from the very first page. I found myself reading ahead of the class as I just could not put it down. I connected with the characters and found myself sympathizing with John Watson, but I also found a great hatred for the other main character Mr. Toshimoto, otherwise known as The Hyena, the man in charge of the prison camp John Watson was at. This book is truly well written and I highly recommend it. I must tell you though Lehrer does not sugarcoat any of the situations discussed in this book so be prepared.

Sex in Public!

      Dirty Poetry Two Stories of Sex in Public, written by Scarlett Knight contains two erotic short stories that are quick and fun to read. I found myself recalling the situations she used and relating them to my own fantasies as well as experiences. These stories are good to read alone but are also great to read with a partner as they definitely do their job well.
      Dirty Poetry, the first story, a forbidden romance is blooming and teeters on the edge of happening. I found myself being drawn into the feelings and anticipation of the characters. I was drawn back to a time when I myself wished and wanted something so bad but was also apprehensive and unsure how to get it.
   The Undressing Room, story number two is equally great and I found it even more erotic. It takes place in a dressing room and in addition to the steaminess Scarlett brings to life, the fear of being caught by others only added to the pleasure for me and also to the characters in my opinion. Both stories are well written and drew me into them. I found once I began to read them I couldn’t put them down.
