Bird Of Prey (Stony Man , No 24)

After reading and enjoying Amanda's Wedding, I wasn't sure how Talking to Addison would measure up. I was hoping for a fun, light novel, which I did get, but then there was a bonus -- Talking to Addison was HYSTERICAL! This book probably has the most real comedy in it that I've ever read. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life. The timing was perfect! The characters were so fantastic and goofy. I loved every... Read Full Review

I stumbled on this book during a trip to the UK last year. I've since loaned it to all my friends, and they have all given it rave reviews. I loaned it to literary friends, technogeek friends, and the reviews from them have all been great. The narrative has a wonderful cadence to it, with laugh out loud moments.
