Thanks to San Francisco Book Review for rating The Investment Clubfive out of five stars! “Doug Cooper has created characters that readers can easily relate to, well-grounded, and oh so human. The chapters are short, and they are well-crafted to leave the reader wanting to learn what happens next to the characters. The tension builds as the reader begins to get interested in the group; the reader wants to know for how long the group can stick together before something rips it apart.”
San Francisco Book Review was launched in September 2009 originally as a bi-monthly printed magazine distributed in the SF Bay Area. Now, we focus only on the website, which provides nearly 300 book reviews a month, in addition to author-related articles, interviews, SF Bay Area book store events, and book store/library directories.
Check out Foreword’s review of Outside In. “…what makes Outside In unusual is that its main character isn’t a teenager. He’s not even a college student. Instead, Cooper gives Brad Shepherd a responsible adult’s problems and chronicles his honest, if flawed, attempts to solve them.”
Foreword Reviews is distributed quarterly to 7500 librarians and booksellers and is also available at most Barnes & Noble newsstands and by subscription. Follow them on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.
Check out Tiffany’s Bookshelf’s review of Outside In. “This book made me eternally thankful I never got involved in the party scene, but it also helped me understand how young people get sucked into drug and alcohol addictions. Like Brad, we all find ourselves running.”
Tiffany’s Bookshelf is run by Tiffany, a self-proclaimed book nerd who also hopes to become an editor one day. Follow her on Google+ or Pinterest to find out what she is reading.
Check out Daily Mayo’s review of Outside In. ‘Everything is larger-than-life, with bigger parties, more drugs, more alcohol, and more “fun” than most people have in their entire lives.”
