First off I love the play on the title (Hym and Hur = Him and Her). I thought that was brilliant! This a very quick read under 50 pages but it is fun, comical, and lets you know there is no tricking Death! Hym and Hur are young and will never age so to entertain themself they like to play pranks on humans but they have to get the pranks approved by Death first who has been known to add his own spin to the prank!

Hym and Hur remind me of two kids wreaking havoc on unsuspecting victims but they never really mean to cause harm so it's kinda like they are not really all that "bad" but then again they aren't 100% "good". But then toss in a bigger bully and your open to mayhem where things can and usually do spiral out of control. This is one of those kinds of stories. An interlude and brief break from the norm that you can enjoy reading without having to think it to death so much.

Biography of Phillip Frey:
Phillip Frey grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, where he performed as a child actor at The Cleveland Playhouse. The day after he graduated high school he moved to Los Angeles and performed in local theater. He then moved to New York, where he performed with The New York Shakespeare Festival, followed by The Repertory Theatre of Lincoln Center. With a change of interest Phillip wrote, directed, and edited 3 short films, all of which had international showings, including The New York Film Festival. With yet another change of interest he returned to Los Angeles to become a produced screenwriter. And now more recently, "DANGEROUS TIMES" and "HYM and HUR" are Phillip Frey's first two works of fiction.

Weigh In Wednesday (1)

This meme is strictly a Something vs. Something type of thing. The purpose is for it to be short, interactive, and something fun to do halfway through the week and is being sponsored by Epilogue Review .

This Weeks Topic is E-book Vs. Print Book 

 I am kinda in the "middle ground" on this one. I used to not would even consider an e-book but have found that some books I do actually prefer reading it using my "Kindle App" because I don't have an actual Kindle yet but hopefully soon (fingers crossed). Since I don't have an actual devise I am stuck reading e-books on my computer so I have to be at it and not able to take the book anywhere. That's when I prefer the paperback because I can toss those in my bag and just go wherever and always be able to read.

Usually , but NOT always the e-book version is cheaper as well so that's a good point for me and sometimes it is even released way before the print version which is cool to if you have been sitting on go waiting for a certain title. But really is there anything like the smell of a new book? The crisp clean pages, the shiny hot covers, the cool and cutesy bookmarks we can use. Not to mention I love being able to walk up and touch my books on my shelf. Ok so maybe I am weird but that's just how I roll. But see what I mean by being on middle ground regarding this? Obviously they both have good points and bad points so.....what's your take on this? Linky me below and I'll come visit and see how you feel!
