LaLuna in Concord as 'Oh it was SO good!' & Josh says their kitchen is SO
very clean - then Chris reviewed 'Othello' as the most singularly confusing
play he has ever seen

Adrienne reviewed 'Boneshaker' & 'Dreadnaught' by Cherie Priest as
alternate history steampunk & she enjoyed them both - then reviewed March
movies as they all suck - then reviewed 'Admissions' as light and
entertaining - and Mo agreed

Dave C reviewed 'Seduction of the Innocent' by Allan Collins as an
alternate history mystery that he suggests you 'read for fun' - then Chris
recommends ALL the Hardcase Crime books; Dave then reviewed Hilton's
appreciation gift to their Honors program members as underwhelming

Brad reviewed the Youtubed 'Justice League of America' as not as bad as he
feared it would be & fine for a 6-year old

it's hilarious and well done
