VENOM BY COLIN FALCONER - Colin Falconer has caused me to become a speed reader - wanting all information ASAP but also reluctant to reach the conclusion. I look forward to reading more from Colin Falconer in the future.more I highly recommend “Venom.” This book ranks extremely high on my list of great books that everyone should read.
