About this ebook
In the fifth installment of the original series, Cat Ellington presents her trademarked style of interpretative criticism in a diverse set of fictional compositions, including The Breakdown by B.A. Paris, A-List by D.P.

Dawkins, and many more.
Joined by contributing authors Naras Kimono, a young writer who adds to this effort with her adorable analyses of Beanbag by Janice Marriott, Planet Earth by Ella Fern, and Bible Heroes: Joshua by Jason Parish; and filmmaker Joseph Strickland, who supplies this dialogue with his apprising reviews of Hard Candy by Andrew Vachss and Conversations with Scorsese by Richard Schickel, Cat Ellington continues to stay true to the hue of her punctilious review.
