I have read Secret Identity so I jumped at the chance to read The Legendary Lynx when I saw it on the shelf at my local library! Not a bad read at all. Plenty of action and the art takes me back to the 1970s when I was a teenager. Hopefully the rest of the volumes will be coming out soon since this volume ends with a cliffhanger! ]]> Review7368292405 Sun, 27 Apr 2025 07:01:25 -0700 <![CDATA[Ron added 'Punching The Clock: Closing Time']]> /review/show/7368292405 Punching The Clock by MR Jeffery J.

Alex Delmore has a dilemma. She want out of her town and but her family situation makes that almost impossible to fulfill her dream of NYU. So she goes hunting for a job and lands a gig as the front-person for the genie who has opened a wishing kiosk at the local mall. What could possibly go right? But every time the duo seem to get a grasp on how to get ahead, something else pops up - lawsuits, mall regulations, stupidity of people, etc. So how does a girl get ahead in this game? Basically by thinking way, way outside the box, and choosing a different game to participate in. An interesting look at what happens when people forget how to interact with others except on a commercial basis. Nice cover art too!
