HNT - The Best Laid Plans

On Wednesday our store launched a new book by McMaster graduate Terry Fallis. The Best Laid Plans is a satirical novel of Canadian politics. I've just started reading it and am into the second chapter. While I didn't think I'd enjoy a novel about politics I'm quite enthralled by the thirtysomething Daniel Addison and his adventures in Ottawa. I was hooked by the time I was just a few paragraphs into the prologue. Fallis is a very talented writer with a knack for creating believable characters and telling a wry tale.

But don't just take my word for it, you can listen to the entire novel for free via the wonderful podcast the author did. Fallis is as brilliant a narrator for the audio version of the novel as he is a crafter of great satire.

Give it a try. I'm certain that you'll be hooked like myself and hundreds of Terry's fans from around the world.



And for the fans of the Darth Tater - Terror in Toyland HNT storyline, don't worry, the continuing storyline is in the works . . . perhaps next week it will continue . . .
