ABANDONED:
Petty, JT. (2006). Clemency Pogue: Fairy killer. New York: Simon & Schuster.

[COMPLETELY overwritten and trying WAY too hard to be witty. Ugh, ENOUGH with the overwrought metaphors and pseudo-cheeky dialogue. Life is way too short, and there is SO MUCH more to read out there...]

STARTED:
Lawrence, Iain. (2007). The castaways. New York: Delacorte/Random House.

[Distinguished or not? I will judge for myself for ACL.]
