I liked Harley Quinn in her debut in Batman: The Animated Series, one of the few characters in comics who transitioned well from TV to comic books (and not the other way around).

I enjoyed this book very much, it is smart, fast, and entertaining.
A novel with an intriguing premise: how, or if, your life would change if you knew the day of your death?
The text is interesting and informative, sometimes over the top
This is a well rounded book, certainly not the end all financial bible, but certainly a very helpful guide and full of good ideas and approaches
Ms. Baites created an interesting narrative, combining it with informative information and fascinating characters
A story of adventure and a fascinating tale brought to life by a talented writer.
The strength of this book, I felt, was in the interesting footnotes the editor provided at the end of each chapter
This is a tense and ugly story, but it sucks you in.
