BOOKED SOLID: An admission officer's nightmare

Courtesy of Randomhouse.com Courtesy of Randomhouse.com Pretentious, rambling and naive are just a few of the less-than-desirable traits that describe Addison Schacht, the young protagonist of "The November Criminals" Sam Munson's debut novel, (released April 20).
