Legitimacy<\/em> by M. H. Van Keuren<\/p>\n

This book log will do no one any good… yet.<\/p>\n

Because you can’t read this book yet. It hasn’t been published.<\/p>\n

That’s right, I’m part of an elite handful of people who have been allowed to read this book. That’s how cool I am.<\/p>\n

A friend of mine from college wrote it, and asked me to take a look at the manuscript. I was a little wary, because the last time I was asked to read a friend’s science-fiction book, it was an painful disaster1<\/sup>. But, that was written by a janitor with a high school education, this by a graduate of Northwestern’s Radio\/TV\/Film school. So… different.<\/p>\n

And different in quality, too. This book’s legit. It’s got compelling and interesting characters, smooth and readable writing, and an intriguing and believably built world. Also, a lemur. Sort of.<\/p>\n

The only downside is I had to print and staple it, cause I couldn’t get it to format right for reading on my phone.<\/p>\n

I like to read new things2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n
