A wonderful storyteller
Reviewed by Reina Santana for Reader Views (6/07) As an avid reader, I am always looking for something interesting to read. Recently, many of the books I read really didn't offer anything new or exciting; then I picked up "Come This Way" and discovered gay fiction, a genre that I had never read before. "Come This Way" is a collection of the author's short stories and excerpts. The book ...

Lola Dances by Victor J. Banis
Sometimes I would be able to have more words in English to describe a book, cause I really want to transfer to you the joy and the emotion I felt reading it. Lola Dances is not a simple book.

He loves all the thing that are artistic, like the opera he ...
