I wanted to like Need as much as I liked Slave, but I didn’t. Here’s hoping Sherri Hayes can pick things up with the next Finding Anna Novel.

Not being one to appreciate the portrayal of BDSM in most pop culture settings, I had no choice to read Slave. What I was most surprised about was that I couldn’t put it down.
I rarely find a book that makes me want to stop reading it, but that’s what I found with The Profiler. Filled with dry, egocentric writing and information I could have learned on Google (while being more entertained, I suspect), The Profiler fails on every possible level I can think of. You’d be well advised to skip this one.

Now, in his first-ever book, Nealon tells the outrageous story of how he battled through aching joints, Milano cookie cravings, and a rapidly receding hairline to become a first-time dad at an age when most fathers are packing their kids off to college. Offering hysterical commentary about his fickle, often hormonal, road to belated and bloated fatherhood, Nealon guides you through the delivery room and beyond, discussing how his past, his wife, and his neuroses all converged in a montage of side-splitting insecurities during the months leading up to the birth of his son.
