The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

The DX is an excellent machine and once the 2.5 upgrade arrives and makes pdf reading easier I'll be a very happy camper.
I wrote a review here.

Illustration is my speciality. I couldn't write my way out of a paper bag. Generally my brother writes the blog and i do the pics. However i did write the kindle piece which may explain the bad grammar and significant lack of interest by readers.
Something i should add is that yesterday i bought a digital book from Amazon and found the formatting to be rubbish. I wrote to them nicely and they refunded me within several hours and killed the book on my machine. That's pretty impressive customer service.

Thanks Happyblob and Cheerio
There is one more thing. I've been subscribing to the UK Independent and loving it. For the last week I've been very happy not to be bothered by photos,graphics and cartoons etc.
However i now miss them, their absence makes for monotony. I turned to a non digital newspaper today with relief.
Obviously this has no bearing on books but could be an important factor with digi-newspapers.

Thanks. I'm planning to follow it up with a few more bits and pieces that have revealed themselves over the last few weeks.

i still can't fault the machine though. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.
