Well, I definitely won't complain (when you read Dispatch, you will see how putting your complaints into writing can get you into deep, deep trouble!) Bentley Little is great, and the only thing that keeps me from giving Dispatch 5 stars is that it wasn't as great as his other novel "The Store". Now I have "The Ignored" on my shelf waiting to be read, and I'm sure I'll be ordering more Little books after that.

Entertaining and very informative! Unfortunately I am one of the working poor at this time, but I'm fortunate in having it better than most of the people that the author meets in her experiment. This book has definitely motivated me to strive for better career opportunities.

Spooky, creepy, yet it felt realastic and thankfully wasn't grotesque. The characters and almost all of the storyline were completely believable. This was the best book that I have read in a long time. King and Koontz fans would enjoy Bentley Little.

Read the background stories of some of the all-time most evil women in history and in modern times. A real page turner! Full of biographies of some very well known (and other less notorious names). I thought this reading material would last me a while, but I plowed through the pages in two days.
