I picked up Tony Vigorito's Just a Couple of Days awhile back based on an amazon recommendation and the description. Not surprisingly, I didn't get around to reading it immediately. It was one of the books my Reader's Advisory exercise partner picked for me in my Book Lust class which reminded me I should read it. Unfortunately it didn't quite live up to its promise. The story-line was interesting, but Vigorito spent so much time trying to be clever with language that it felt overloaded with metaphors. The main character is a professor whose best friend has been taken hostage to get him to work on a secret government project. The situation is promising, but the book overall was disappointing.
