Farsighted by Emlyn Chand Book Review

When you think of the typical book hero, what do you instantly think of?  Strong, intelligent, popular, a jock?  I'm not saying Alex, the hero in Farsighted by Emlyn Chand, isn't smart or strong, but he definitely isn't a jock or popular.  In fact, Alex is pretty much an outcast in addition to being born blind.  With the help of the supporting characters Alex will learn about himself and hopefully change the future.

Rating a Book...When do you decide?

I was recently reading a book and within the first half of the book I realized I had made my mind up about what star rating I would give this particular book.  Then I got to thinking about when I usually decide what star value a book is.  Is it normal to judge a book within the first half?  Or is it more prudent to wait until you have completed a book to decide the rating?  Is there something that causes you to instantly dock points from a book?

What would you do if you were "downsized" from your last position while your boss who happens to be your ex-boyfriend will obviously not give you a reference?  You might get a little desperate and accept an offer for a job from your friend without knowing too much about the company.  That's the situation Janet Maple finds herself in in To Catch a Bad Buy by Marie Astor.
