Ryan DeJonghe - The Avid Reader
I didn't always read, but that changed in June of 2013. I dropped the unnecessary stuff and picked up the awesome stuff--like reading! I started posting my reviews on Amazon and within a few months rose to the top 0.1% of reviewers. My reviews then went to Goodreads, and now my blog (http://ryandejonghe.wordpress.com) and Twitter (@Ryan_Reads).
If you are reading this, why not leave a comment or send me a note? I love talking to other folks about books and my reviews.
Publishers and authors, feel free to drop me a note if you want me to review your book. I usually stick to mainstream publishing, but I'll consider anything. If I review your book, I’ll give you a fair and thorough review and let you know when the review goes live. You can reach me at dejonghes@gmail.com.
Happy Reading!
The Catcher in the Rye
Abandon ship! Abandon ship! I must mark this one read, as in past tense, before another brain cell is cast overboard. I get the point, but not the prose. The payoff is not worth enduring the waves of drivel. The anyhows, somewhats, and kindas are drowning me alive. I knew my reading ship had hit the fatal iceberg once I reached the sea of repeated phrases—I was going down, fast. Mr. Caulfield, I hope you can swim, because I’m kicking you off.
