Have You Read One of the Best Books of 2014?

The Word Exchange by Alena Graedon has just been named “one of the best books of 2014” by Kirkus Reviews. Wow! What an incredible honor! And that’s not just proud parents talking.

Kirkus has been reviewing books for over 80 years. It is one of the most highly regarded publications producing reviews for people with a professional interest in books. Librarians rely on Kirkus, as do booksellers. These tough critics review 8,000 to 10,000 books each year. When they select a book as one of the best of 2014, you can count on it being extraordinary. Here’s what Kirkus says about The Word Exchange:

“A wildly ambitious, darkly intellectual and inventive thriller about the intersection of language, technology and meaning.”

Language becomes a virus in this terrifying vision of the print-empty, Web-reliant culture of the 22nd century. Read full book review >

Protect yourself or someone you love from the deadly “word flu” this season by finding out why reading is your best medicine.
