Reviews
On Oct 7 2014, a reader said:
Microscopic beings vie to take over humanity by taking over their minds and bodies, but the human minds are aware of this and fighting for control of the body. The book was good, better than Twilight (even though the movie Twilight was much better than this movie). The internal dialogue is great, but that doesn't translate as well on the big screen.

About Sherlock Joe's Book Hunting
The game is afoot!
I focus on modern first edition, first printings, but have been lately finding first editions, later printings of older novels in my inventory. I'm also highlighting a lot of signed books that I've found.
I will also gladly search for and offer well-priced books of all kinds. If there's something you'd love to have, either send me a message here or go to https://cases.sherlockjoes.com and Open a Case!
