Book Review: Foe by Ian Reid

This book was given to me by a friend. Supposedly it's a page turner. But....

After reading this novel about domestic relationships, interaction came across more of repetitive actions, dullness, stale, and boring living. Found it strange, rut couldn't be shaken, only to have a "replacement" triggered some action to change things in someone's way of life.

I'd give it 4 stars. next.

Besides, once those theater doors close behind me, I really become void from the reality of what's out in the real world. Especially these days, political upheaval, social pressures, and anything else that can get on my nerve. Movies has been an escape for me. Period. I'm old school. When I read the movie summary and saw the trailer, I thought "oh, another Rom-Com ". Boy was I mistaken. It was a good selection for a movie that weekend.
