Our family moved to the area from out of state and have found Linton Hall School to be an inclusive, welcoming environment. Our child has thrived socially and emotionally, and as an upper school student, is showing an unprecedented enthusiasm for learning. Our child continues to rank in the top 5% nationally on standardized tests, and has meaningful dialogue with engaged, well-qualified, dedicated teachers. If you're looking for a caring environment with smaller classes and academic rigor, come take a tour and experience this gem of a school for yourself.
Linton Hall School is a wonderful school that prepares students for high achievement in high school. The teachers are well-qualified and always have the best interest of the students at heart. My children are learning well and thriving at Linton Hall School! The school has a great curriculum and a beautiful community.
Private School can get away with hiring many unqualified & unlicensed teachers, which is easily seen in the low standardized test scores. Great school for stay at home moms, you can literally stay at the school all day with no questions asked. Grades are assigned not for merit, but to placate the parents. Standardized scores say all. My daughter went from 99th percentile and then to 50% in one year due to an unqualified teacher. My complaints were ignored, and worst of all, my daughter was discriminated against due to my actions.
I am an alumnus of Linton Hall and have so many great memories at this school. The education and values I recieved here have without a doubt made me who am I today. This school and community not only prepares you for high school, it also prepares you for college and beyond. The faculty and staff at Linton Hall truly care about each and every student. The school community is very loving and welcomes you back long after you have graduated 8th grade.
Linton Hall School was 'home' to our family for 14 wonderful years. During this time our children were nurtured academically, socially, and spiritually. The Benedictine traditions, which are the basis for the love and compassion shown to all who pass through Linton Hall's doors, are a wonderful foundation in which to teach academics and life skills. My children left Linton Hall well prepared to excel in high school, and attend academically challenging colleges. Linton Hall is not just a particular teacher, class or program - it is the combined experience of all of these, which develop our children to go out and become successful adults.
Great school. Both of my children will remain at LHS for the full 8 years. The teachers all have their best interests at heart.
I attended Linton Hall School from K - 8 and can honestly say I was thoroughly prepared for high school. The academics at Linton Hall obviously surpass those of the local public schools, as I found the advanced freshman and sophomore classes to be easier than some classes I took at Linton Hall. I loved the personal attention afforded to the students due to the small class size, the sense of community, the involvement with the Sisters and their other ministries, and knowing that there was always someone there who i could turn to if I needed anything.
Linton Hall School has been a wonderful experience for our children. It provides a small family atmosphere where there is no question that the learning process will not be disrupted by bullying, unruly children, etc. They celebrate the children striving for excellence, so that the children want to succeed in the classroom and in their activities and are not made to feel embarrassed by doing well. Additionally, having the sisters involved is a unique element to the school. It provides the children with another perspective of service by seeing the sisters minister to the children and to others in the community who need their help.
I am a student at Linton Hall, and we have a great school community. Linton Hall has a supportive staff, and we are all a family. I play sports for the school, and the coaches are very friendly and have helped me become a better athlete and a better person.
I have four children who attended and graduated from Linton Hall School. They all have very different personalities, but each of them thrived academically and socially in the nurturing environment of Linton Hall. Two have already graduated from high school and college with honors and are now doing well in the work force. The younger two are still in high school where they are at the top of their respective classes. They all have very fond memories of their years at Linton Hall and all of their teachers, some of which are still their "favorite". We as parents, as well as the children, have continued to stay involved with the community we spent so many years a part of. It is like "home" for us.
Linton Hall is an excellent academic school for our kids - it is a place where the kids can learn without disruption. Many kids start high school a grade ahead in reading and math. The school is able to provide challenges to kids who need it in certain subjects while helping others who need support. There is a sense that learning and achievement is something to be celebrated. There are also plenty of options for extracurricular activities that take into account varied interests like athletics, art club, chess club, music, Fife and Drum, etc. Our child has really enjoyed the Fife and Drum corps. He has learned musical skills, performance skills, discipline, and patriotism. They perform at school functions, but they also perform at outside functions sometimes performing for our military veterans. I have been to many events for the Fife and Drum corps, and without fail, the kids are always complimented on their skill, their behavior and for their love of country. All of the students at Linton Hall are a wonderful reflection of the school.
My daughter attended Linton Hall School for 9 years starting in Kindergarten. It was the best investment I could have made in her education. She learned not only the "ABC's" but also a great foundation for her high school education. She learned alot about respect for others and how important it is to be a part of the community. My daughter is now 16 and credits alot of her successes with the foundation Linton Hall provided. She often says she wishes Linton Hall had a high school- she would be first to sign up. Linton Hall is more than a brick and mortar building that provides and education. Linton Hall is a special place where memories, friendships and values are developed and fostered. I made a great decision on my daughter's behalf by sending her to Linton Hall. We will both treasure every minute we walked through the arches.
Linton Hall School provides excellent academics & caters to each child as an individual - they help the advanced child excel & give additional help to those kids who need it. LHS is an amazing "family" environment. The children are taught more than academics - they are taught to love one another & treat everyone with respect. We love the small class sizes & the teachers truly care about our kids & their success. Choosing LHS is one of the BEST decisions we've made!
Linton Hall School is a major treasure in the Northern Virginia area and our family encourages everyone to explore the school and to talk to parents of current students. The academics are top notch, and students are given constant opportunities to develop critical thinking skills. The faculty and staff help shape students in to organized, poised, confident and responsible individuals. The sense of community is another strong element of the school. Parents are engaged and truly work together to develop top-notch events that either raise funds or provide a wonderful opportunity for the school community to get together and enjoy an experience. The Benedictine Sisters are warm, loving and proud of their ministries. LHS works to incorporate the Benedictine principles in to the learning experience so that students understand and experience the Benedictine philosophies. We have thoroughly enjoyed our years at LHS, look forward to the years ahead, and strongly recommend the school!
Linton Hall is a school where everyone knows your child, and protects and guides them as though they were their own. They also strive to bring out the best in each child. We have been at LHS for 6 years and my children are thriving and love school. They are respected and loved by all of the teachers and staff. They are encouraged to be well rounded, and do their best in all aspects of their lives. Academics are strong, and there are plenty of extra-circular activities for the children to participate in. Our kids are not only becoming good students, but good citizens and kind individuals as well.
Linton Hall was the perfect school for my two kids. Both have now graduated and I am so pleased to see how incredibly well prepared they were for High School. Both have commented that they were easily ahead of their peers in virtually all subject areas and they had the background and skills to complete their classwork and projects. I credit the amazing faculty for pushing the kids, but at the same time, knowing each of them and truly caring about how they were doing both inside and outside the classroom. LHS is a uniquely caring place, where everyone is welcome and encouraged to thrive.
Linton Hall is an amazing school! Our children are embraced by the faculty, staff and other parents. They are provided with a traditional faith-based education - we celebrate HOLYDAYS - by teachers who truly care. Parents who've written negative reviews are well known and, in many cases left for reasons unrelated to the quality of the education (e.g., finances). When you invest in the school - being supportive and connected - you will reap the benefits. Have friends at other private schools in the area, we're Linton Hall all the way! An awesome education and children who are polite and well mannered. Lynx Love!
As an out of town Grandparent, I have only visited Linton Hall a few times, but my Granddaughter seems to thrive there and her parents are quite please with the school. That is recommendation enough for me. Dianne Gutting
Linton Hall School is centrally located and students come from many areas as well as different faiths. All are welcome. My kids have done extremely well academically at Linton Hall , making President's Honors and Honor Roll. They have had the opportunity to participate in many family night events within the school -it is a community. The grading system is higher than the public schools so your child has to adjust to the higher expectation and work. Linton Hall is an ideal place for your kids because they aren't packed into a classroom ; they have top notch technology for smart boards and chrome books ( new addition). I agree it takes a village and your students, just like mine are well cared for and fully challenged academically.
I am a graduate of LHS as well as a current parent and staff member. I think that pretty much says it all! I appreciate the love and support offered to both of my children on a daily basis. The faculty and staff has offered so much to my girls - I couldn't imagine not having them in our village because after all, it takes a village!

Most Americans don't know the difference between the "bailout" and the "stimulus" and don't realize, or choose not to, that the "bailout" happened during the final days of the Bush administration.
Listening to much of the rhetoric on "lame-stream" media you'd think that Social Security was on the verge of collapse. In fact it has enough money to pay out 100% of all payments for the next 24 years.
In some ways, the Obama administration very much looks like the Reagan administration. Reagan's approval rating was at 42% when the Republicans lost 26 seats in the House in the mid-term elections of 1982. Amazingly, they gained one in the Senate. Clinton's approval rating was 48% when he lost 52 seats in the House in his first mid-term election.
You hear many complain about our gridlocked do-nothing government, and yet no first-term president has been able to pass so much landmark legislation in memory -- namely health care reform, credit card reform, and Wall Street reform. You may not like what they're doing but they have been busy.
Civil debate and truth has been a casualty of a well-financed, well-organized propaganda machine wanting to gain power at any cost. Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert proclaimed on the floor of the House that 20% of Americans would die if health care reform were passed. Sadly, their tactics have worked and it appears the Democrats will lose control of the House of Representatives. The Senate may stay in the hands of the Democrats but it will be close.
Obama's biggest failure has been his inability to launch his own propaganda machine to discredit the lies and to tell the truth. By trying to play the middle, he has disappointed many who voted for him and he realized too late that no matter what he did his opponents would oppose him, even condemning ideas that they once supported.
No matter what we desire in the size of government or budget deficits, we all want America to succeed. May those who are elected one week from today have more sense and integrity than what we've seen in the past two years. Hopefully, they will set about reducing unemployment, AND hatred, in America.

Papermaker scores 150th: Why Glatfelter doors are red and other Spring Grove stories
Glatfelter has produced this 45-minute video as part of its 150th-anniversary celebration. Glatfelter started as a single Spring Grove mill in 1863 and now is a sprawling, international company. 'When I first came to Spring Grove,' Amanda Glatfelter is quoted at the video's beginning, 'the mill was standing where the Western Maryland Railroad crosses my front lawn. A dozen houses, most of them built of logs, comprised the village … .'
Stone Mill 1792 and other wedding venues: York, Pa.'s, location remains a great asset
This restored mill looks great from the road. Same thing close up. The York, Pa., Daily Record received a tour of this wedding venue and came up with this lineup of photographs showing this impressive place. Stone Mill 1792 is one of several wedding venues opening around York County. But York County isn't in danger of having too many such venues, a YDR story states.

In the former Formprest building: York countians locate things by what used to be there
York countians are good at this: When something is opening somewhere, we describe it as being in the former such and such building. Well, a wine bar on North George Street is going into the former Formprest cleaners building (white building above). The Handsome Cab is one of two wine bars opening in that area, examples of boutique-like business opening its doors in that part of town.

European magnificence built into St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Spring Grove
That's Spring Grove's St. Paul's Lutheran Church behind the scaffolding. The repairs are underway to address safety concerns at the 105-year-old church. The brownstone was losing some chips, which created the concern. Charles H. Glatfelter's 'York County Lutherans' lists the current building, dedicated in 1909, as the second Lutheran building in Spring Grove. The first was dedicated in 1880.

'Old Dorm,' Gettysburg's Schmucker Hall, at sunrise
Noel Kline arose early to get this photograph of Lutheran Theological Seminary's Schmucker Hall at sunrise in May 2013. A month later, the scene was less tranquil as re-enacters were camping around that area as part of Gettysburg 150 observances. 'Old Dorm,' as it was called, was dedicated as a museum as part of that event. Today, the museum, which served as a hospital in the Battle of Gettysburg, offers 20,000 square feet of interactive exhibits. The winter, with relatively few tourists, provides an easy opportunity to see Gettysburg sites.

Big snows in York County: These 8 photographs show their impact
Glen Rock, Pa., is nestled, well, within its Glen in this peaceful scene after one of the snows earlier this week. Which brings us other scenes from blizzards and heavy snows from York County's past, courtesy of the York Daily Record/Sunday News' archives. These photos, which go progressively back in time, remind us that big, bad snowfalls, however aggravating and damaging, come and go. And come again. And go again.
Light pierces a dark and stormy night in Glen Rock
On one cold, rainy and dark night, this illuminated building welcomed people passing through Glen Rock, Pa. That is the Arthur Hufnagel Public Library offering a welcome bright site and warm refuge against the elements. Not to get overly metaphysical here, but the light goes beyond what a warm room will do for the body. The brightness also goes to knowledge and understanding, all the good stuff that a library brings to the minds of community members. So Glen Rock's library offered a warmth to body and mind on this recent night – and has done so for years.

Deftones Release KOI NO YOKAN Album Today, 11/13
KOI NO YOKAN was recorded in Los Angeles, CA with Nick Raskulinecz (Alice In Chains, Foo Fighters, Rush) who also produced Diamond Eyes. Front man Chino Moreno summed up Deftones' sound in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying "Obviously we're an aggressive band - not the heaviest, but there's a lot of attack. He continues, "But there's also this lush beauty that flows within everything that we do, and that's my favorite part of the band. To me, it's the epitome of what the Deftones do."
From their 1994 debut Adrenaline to their platinum-certified, Billboard chart-topping, Grammy-winning breakthrough album White Pony, Deftones have continually crossed-over genres, defied categorization and delivered compelling live performances around the world. The Sacramento band's 2010 release Diamond Eyes was named iTunes' "Rock Album of the Year," as well as KERRANG!'s 2010 Album of the Year. Diamond Eyes also graced many other critics and readers "Best Of" lists, including MySpace, AOL Noisecreep, Alternative Press, MOG, and Drowned In Sound.
Stay tuned to Deftones.com for more information on the tour, including additional dates as well as the latest Deftones news.

Google's Lemon squeezes out web app bugs
Google is developing an automated tool for finding common web application vulnerabilities. The tool, dubbed Lemon, is still in development by the ad-brokering giant's security researchers but is already been used internally. It's unclear whether or not Google will release the vulnerability testing tool more generally. Free …
This will upset IBM
Having just shelled out $$$ for Watchfire, whose AppScan is one of the leading commercial tools for identifying web app bugs.
Yes, lemon is an automated bug finder...
... and the MOAB is an automated bunker weakness probing tool.
Not immediately useful
Just because you find vulnerabilities does not
mean you can fix them it does mean you can
exploit them I write these damned web apps
and I don't need fuzzers to break most others
web apps but given a thorough
enough going over I assume it will break mine somewhere
in other words they need to keep this thing until
it reaches the point where it can also fix them dynamically
then release it as a site manager application that
way it might be of some use otherwise it just causes
you to move holes around like MS with IE they are
still doing that BTW.Please I have enough to do.
that would be "a physical method or device that provides structural analysis and diagnostics for subsequent forensic examination, in a repeatable and consistent manner, using controlled energy application...specifically designed for testing reinforced or fortified structures".
i'm pretty sure that's what the original DARPA proposal claimed...
Why would this upset IBM?
watchfire gives their product away (they did with us and i hear they do the same with everyone else ) so no real revenue lost .....

UYC's Guide: 5 NYC Workouts That Will Spice Up Your Routine
I don't know about you, but I have a pretty low shelf life when it comes to a consistent workout routine. I'm all about the hot yoga, oh, for about three weeks, before the downward dogs and puddles (of other people's) sweat starts to get to me. Then I'll take up jogging for a few weeks, until my playlist starts to lose its luster. And I'm always looking for a good workout bargain to fit my budget.
If you also have problems staying motivated with the same old, same old, we got you covered on some workouts that will spice up your sweat session:
SLT Yoga
Standing for "strengthen, lengthen, tunes", SLT is the yoga that combines your flow with some seriously good soundtracks. As NYC's first music-focused, high energy yoga studio, this isn't exactly the class to go to if you want to get your zen on. But if, like me, you're tired of getting your zen on and want to get some serious toe-tapping sweat-inducing warrior poses going on, this is your class. The music is all upbeat…I've heard everything from hip hop (love!), rock, pop, and soul. The studio's yoga director, Erin Jacques, is energetic and leads a class that will have you coming back.
Cost: First Class $15, Single Class After $24
Broadway Dance Center
Guys, this place is seriously a gem of a gym…err, dance studio. But you'll be burning enough calories during your dance sessions you might as well be on a treadmill. I recently discovered the studio when signing up for a Broadway Jazz class. Led by instructor Sue Samuels, who was as funny as she was spunky, we spent our hour and a half warming up at the barre with bongo beats in the background, weaving in some isolated floor exercises complete with jazz hands, and finally learning a routine that included the dramatic use of top hats. To say I loved every moment of it would be an understatement. I can see this being a workout staple long, long into my future.
Bonus: they have so many different kinds of dance (think hip-hop, ballet, even voguing!) at so many levels (absolute beginner to professional Broadway), it's impossible to get bored.
Cost: $18 per class
If you've been outside at all this summer, there's no way you could miss the lovely blue bikes, stationed on what seems like every other corner. Have to admit: I've never ridden a bike in NYC before this, and I was kinda scared out of my mind. (Rightly so, have you seen our cab drivers?!) Anyhow, I decided to take the slightly safer route and do the big loop in Central Park, minimizing car traffic, at least. (Although there were a few almost-collisions with pedestrians…if this is something you're going to take up regularly I'd recommend investing in a helmet!) The hills at the northern end of the park will definitely get your heart racing, and it's also a nice way to explore the city.
All in all, the experience using the bike was pretty seamless: you need to bring your credit card to rent one, and when you are pulling the bike from the stand just be sure to lift up and out. (Yes, I was standing there like a dodo for 5 minutes wondering why my bike was stuck, until a nice European tourist demonstrated how it was done. Of course.) Also, if you have a smart phone you can check ahead of time how many empty slots are left at whatever station you are planning to go to. If they are booked to full capacity, you can return the bike to another station.
Cost: For a 24-Hour Access Pass $9.95, which gets you only 30 minutes of riding time. If you ride up to an hour, it's $4 extra dollars, an hour and a half is $13 extra dollars. I'd say if you're really into the biking thing, the most economical option is the $95 annual membership, which gets you free trips up to 45 minutes.
Studio Anya
This was my first experience on one of those Pilates reformer machines, and I must say, I left the class feeling as good as I do after an hour massage. Don't get me wrong: it was definitely a workout that hit muscle groups I didn't realize I even had, but it was a very therapeutic workout, leaving me feeling refreshed and energized rather than feeling like I needed a nap. Totally recommend.
Studio Anya offers semi-private circuit classes, which is 3 students max who all reap the benefits of their excellent instructors.
Cost: $35 per class
First Ascent Fitness
When training for my Toughmudder race last year, I definitely understood the fitness benefits to jumping on the bootcamp wagon, as it really kicks your butt into action. I've tried a few different camps with different instructors, but First Ascent Fitness with Trevor Swaine is definitely my favorite. He's motivating without being overbearing (anyone who's taken a bootcamp class know what I'm talking about!), and the jogs in-between the exercises allow you to catch your breath, while still upping your cardio.
Cost: $25 per class

Voguing? Did I read 'Strike a pose' voguing? That sure brought back a blast from my past. It's ironic Jess, but as I'm writing this I'm supposed to be at the gym taking a strength training class…Muahhh!
At least I'm voguing in my mind.
Hope you had a great summer! I look forward to my vicarious New York experience once again

This is the most disappointed I have been in a purchase from Overstock.com. I was prepared from the previous reviews for the "white" not to be "white" - I however was not prepared for the black to be a washed out gray. It is not even close to the picture, it is hideous- if you are looking for a rug true to the pic DO NOT buy this one, find something else. While it seems to be well made the photo is a complete misrepresentation.
This rug was perfect for what I wanted! I have a studio divided for living and working space, and need a rug that withstands high-traffic, easy to clean, natural and doesn't affect my allergies. The bamboo wipes down easily and goes perfect with my decor. As some have said, it is a bit yellow-tinged, but you have to know what you ordered-it's BAMBOO! Have you ever seen a white tree? If you are eco-friendly, dust sensitive or just don't want to bother with cleanup as often, it's perfect!
This is a great rug IF......you are looking for a silver/tan Zebra rug. I received it at 9:00pm last night....opened it and thought I was looking at the opposite side. I took a few pictures by placing some black items on the rug as reference, and then immediately placed the rug back into the package to be returned. Not for me.
Came broken. I returned this the second it showed up. Not to mention it was not at all what I thought. It is outlined in black fabric which makes the grey zebra stripes look even worse. Even if it wasn't broken I would not have used this rug!
Color is misrepresented. Actually faded blue/green. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Zebra pattern was greyish and the background tan. Not a good representation. Should be removed from the site.
worth about $ 20 for a walk in closet or covered porch

Warren Buffett, whose Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is expanding in media with the purchase of 63 newspapers, said he's surprised the Times-Picayune of New Orleans will cut its publication schedule to three days a week.
"It seems to me that three days a week is simply unsustainable over the long term," Buffett wrote in a letter to musician Evan Christopher that was posted today on the NolaVie website. "I'm puzzled as to why the economics don't work on a seven-day basis."
Buffett, Berkshire's chief executive officer, has said that newspapers focused on local communities can be profitable, while the model of offering free news online is unsustainable. The Times-Picayune said last week it would publish three days a week beginning in the fall and cut staff to focus on digital news.
Buffett's letter was in response to Christopher's request that the billionaire meet with residents who want the newspaper, owned by the Newhouse family's Advance Publications Inc., to continue daily printing.
"I have no insight as to whether the Newhouse family would sell the Times-Pic to a local group," Buffett wrote in the letter, which was confirmed by Carrie Kizer, his assistant. "They do not have a history of selling anything. That's something a member of the community should explore. Let me know if you learn more."
A telephone call to New York-based Advance Publications seeking comment wasn't immediately returned.
Berkshire agreed May 17 to buy 63 daily and weekly newspapers from Media General Inc., including the Richmond Times-Dispatch of Virginia, for $142 million. Berkshire is the largest shareholder of the Washington Post Co. and last year purchased the Omaha World-Herald in Buffett's Nebraska hometown.

Rockton Skatepark, concert, historic home effort
By Susan Johnson
Copy Editor
Rockin' for Rockton invites the public to a special event the afternoon of Saturday, July 27, at Settlers Park on East Hawick Street in Rockton. A skate competition for all ages and skill levels will be held, along with a concert. Registration and warmup will take place from noon to 1:30 p.m., and the skate competition will be from 1:30 to 4 p.m.
This event is being held to raise awareness and support for the Rockton Skatepark project. Village officials arranged to tour the future site of the skatepark at the Rockton Athletic Fields the afternoon of July 24. A Community Open House has been scheduled for 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. that evening at the Rockton Community Center.
Rockin' for Rockton is a three-part festival that begins at noon. The music portion will be from 4 to 11 p.m. Participating bands are Audio Abduction, Bloom, Icarus the Owl, The B-Town Strokers and Empty Pockets.
"Rockin' for Rockton is a benefit festival that raises money for the development of the athletic fields," said Ryan Rydell, executive director of Rockin' for Rockton. "All the money we make goes into the village for the athletic fields … a portion of it is supposed to be set aside for the skatepark. There is a committee of people from the community that are trying to make that happen faster. They put together the skate competition. The concert and festival with beer, food and music is all put together by one committee. 'Punt, Pass and Kick' is put on by the Macktown Warriors football organization. It's all Rockin' for Rockton stuff, but it is a conglomeration."
Ticket prices, which include admission to the music portion of the festival, are $7 advance, $10 at the gate, and ages 12 and younger free. See rockinforrockton.com.
The Rockton Skatepark Committee is always on the lookout for interested new participants.
On another subject, Rydell said: "There has been some discussion of saving historic homes in the area as well. That is separate from the Rockin' for Rockton festival."
Specifically, the most threatened home in Rockton is the Hollister Homestead, 226 S. Blackhawk Blvd., the big yellow mansion on the south bank of the Rock River at the old Illinois Route 2 bridge. Because it is in immediate threat of demolition, contribute to the Hollister Homestead Fund at Fundrazr.com. For more information, check out "Save the historical homes of Rockton" Facebook page.

I read this book due to the ratings as well as my friend recommending it to me. I will start by saying the book is VERY unrealistic...but then again, that's why it's fiction, right? Anyways, due to it being so unrealistic, it was kind of hard for me really feel the characters and try to relate to what they went thru. I will say one thing, this book is non-stop drama. You never know what's going to happen next. It was so much drama that I actually got bored with some parts that DIDN'T have any dr ...more

I won't read this and I certainly won't buy it and put my money into this author and publishers hands. Apparently I'm more of a stickler for this sort of racist bullshit than some others. So be it.

Five star banger for sure... First book I read by David Weaver... I've read every book by him since!! Kyla and Malcom are the ultimate power couple! Gotta love them! Bankroll Squad is one of the best urban fiction trilogies I've read in a long time...

Malcolm, Kyla, Jennifer, Catfish, Pam...these characters are the most. The Bankroll Squad is the book that reeled me in to this author. He is one of the best in the entire industry. Well written. Once I picked up I kept going. 4 hrs later. I wanted more.

I didn't care for this book. Not only were the grammar and diction horrible, but the plot was underdeveloped and seemed a little far-fetched. It struck me as something a teenager would write while dreaming of being a big-time 'baller' someday.

Although I found the book a little "scattered", I do intend to read the second book at some point. This author needs to find a better editor because the grammatical errors were plentiful.

"Well… Five… I just wanted to say rest in peace. To me you are a dead man… I am ashamed that I am related to you. I am ashamed that we have the same bloodline, it is obvious that yours contains a defect in the structure. I'm going to endure the punishment for this gun just because I made the mistake of hanging with a lame. But I swear to God on everything I ever loved… you better change your last fucking name as soon as possible. You will never in your life again be referred to as Powers! Change that shit, or I will kill you with my bare hands the first chance I get. Disconnect yourself bitch!"More quotes…
