Anonymous Reviewer: The Devil's Rose by BROM

Let the cover sell you the book. This story is fair to middling, but the artwork is the real draw. Short and to the point, Brom doesn’t take time dawdling with minor details. As compact as it is, there is little room for peripheral details. My only complaint would be why the main character is Hell. Not the strongest of reasons, and it makes me think if that’s all it takes, we’re all doomed. Saving the plot and the book entirely is the artwork. Gritty and real are the two words that come to mind. My imagination cranked up to 10 the second I saw this on the shelf and didn’t slow down until the end. This would be a good anchor for further stories too!

Anonymous Reviewer: Bruce Lee: A Life by Matthew Polly

Bios are tough. As a kid, this AR loved to get to the nitty gritty of someone’s life. Spare no detail. As I get older, I’m more about driving a story. Getting stuck is for Jeeps. This biography was up to the doorjamb in no time. Best read by someone who knows about Bruce Lee already, this one is just a tad too much for the novice looking to get excited about Bruce Lee, or martial arts. Thankfully Polly doesn’t try to put Lee in some form of academic importance as a revolutionary in film or martial arts. That would be a bridge too far. Instead we often get a literal blow by blow depiction of Lee from start to finish. For someone who knows VERY little about martial arts, this can get too bogged down for full enjoyment. If you’re looking for a book to get you psyched up to try kung-fu, you might try something else, or watch a Bruce Lee movie.
