    Angel Baby by Richard Lange...a review by another author I like said of it: "...a bone crushing-nightmare parable: bad people doing the wrong things for love." I've known this to happen.

    Not to get off subject, but the percentage of "Children" in Baltimore was low. In Lord of the Flies, they were children under totally different circumstances.

    The gathering storm, wheel of time book 12. Great series so far and Brandon Sanderson is doing a great job finishing off the series. Looking forward to the last two books to finish the series.
