Friday's "Forgotten" Books and more: the links to the reviews

This week's books, unfairly (or sometimes fairly) neglected, or simply those the reviewers below think you might find of some interest (or, infrequently, you should be warned away from); certainly, most weeks we have a few not at all forgotten titles.  Founder Patti Abbott is taking a break from listmaking for a while...so if I've missed yours or someone else's, please let me know in comments...

Done! Thank you.

Thanks for the link! LET’S GO PLAY is an obscure book that’s slowly getting some recognition. It’s one of those novels that’s a whole experience—you don’t just read it you kind of endure it. Unique and unsettling!

I had heard of it previously, but as far as I know had never seen a copy...probably did read it in conjunction with the mention of THE GIRL NEXT DOOR. Thanks for the entry!
