The Developers is a funny, romantic, and technologically driven book that is sure to interest you in some way. It is about a small-town crew that comes up with a big-time idea that even the government is interested in. If you are ready for a good laugh, check it out.
I loved your book. It was the first book I read which I had fun reading it. It made me laugh at times which for a book to do is hard. Overall, it was a great book I just hope you write more so I can read more of your writing.
This is a great humorous reality fiction. Ben is a fantastic writer and is extremely helpful to all independent authors.
I like it so far. I am on chapter eleven. I try to read a chapter a night, but it doesn't always work out that way time wise. I like the storyline about Kevin and Jane. I am interested to see how that pans out.
I found all your characters inviting and easy to like except Katy; she just didn't sit right with me throughout the book. I liked Kevin, he seemed like a buddy, and I thought if I knew any of them he'd be the one I'd get along with. In a way it reading the book felt like watching reality tv (in a good way) as in, you made me feel a part of thier lives. I'll admit it's not my normal reading preference, but it kept me entertained and completed it in almost one sitting.
Despite not being an avid reader, The Developers kept my attention from cover to cover. Any book that discloses the intricacies of bingo only one or two chapters removed from a description of a Richard Simmons look-a-like skiing in shorts is worth the read. While the technological portions of the book were a bit bland, the blend of fact, fiction, and absurdity combine to make for an interesting story.
I really liked "The Developers," and a few of my friends like it, too. I guess all of us have a little bit of the IT nerd in us. Or maybe it was the relationship issues.
The Developers project .comU is the most exciting thing to happen in Michigan's U.P. since the discovery of copper. OK, that's not too hard to beat, and there hasn't been any competition since they built the Mackinac Bridge, but it's a pretty good read. The 80's pop references definitely hit the mark with whatever you call the generation that preceded Generation X. Now that I think about it, I guess that makes us Generation IX. Reading this book is the second best thing to do in front of a nice cozy fire...
Anyway, great book. I love any fiction books that can keep me interested in the plot and characters. Awesome pop culture references.
I'm really getting into the characters. I think you do a great job in setting up the characters, their pasts, etc. You are good at writing women, by the way. How did you learn how to do that?
I am enjoying the bits of mystery that are popping up. So many questions and I want to find out where they take the book.
"I hereby relinquish all rights and personal information to the United States Government. You MUST agree to this disclaimer to access the Internet." - Therein lies the opening premise of "The Developers," the specter of a troubling Orwellian intrusion into our personal liberties told in a deceptively simple story-style that moves from technology to lust to relationships to black mini-skirts, a tale told through prose studded with pop-culture references that will leave you wondering if you remember the right words to the Brady Bunch theme song.
