Carl Hiaasen/Barbara Ehrenreich Reviews
My review of Carl Hiaasen's Flush, his new kids book, ran in The Oregonian on September 25. That only leaves about a week of it being cached in the free archives, but here is a link.
The previous week, my review of Barbara Ehrenreich's new book Bait and Switch ran. Here is a link to that; no guarantees on how long they'll leave it active. For a related bit, see the earlier posted review (a Salvage Heart exclusive!) on Working Stiffs, which I read after Nickel and Dimed, and which I liked better (yeah, they're different, but I can compare un-alikes and pick a favorites).
Un-Alikes:
Pie better than Cobbler
Bacon better than Link Sausage
Swimming better than Diving
...no, wait, these are Alikes...
UN-Alikes:
Pencils better than Scissors
Sidewalks better than Plywood
Rivers better than Brackets
There. A useless sidenote.
