Mr. Fallis has done it again! His latest book is another great story.

Although "One Brother Shy" deals with the serious subject cyber-bullying as a sub-plot it is done in a way that makes it readable by all. The main story focuses on the search for a long lost sibling, and eventually a father as well, and this along with a good dose of hockey memorabilia rounds out a very enjoyable story.

I didn't find this book to be as funny as some of his earlier works but then again with a sub-plot of cyber bullying and the consequences of this it is somewhat difficult to make jokes. As always the characters are likeable, and very real. In some cases, such as Simone too real!

Going on Hiatus

 Greetings, I have decided to put a hold on doing further book reviews for a while. In fact I'm not sure if I will resume doing reviews ...
