Way Down on the High Lonely by Don Winslow

Book 3 of the Neal Carey mysteries, continues to entertain.

Tuesday, April 24, 2018

The Daily Show by Jon Stewart, the Correspondents, Staff and Guests By: Jon Stewart - foreword, Chris Smith Narrated by: Oliver Wyman, Jay Snyder, Kevin T. Collins, Chris Lutkin, Robert Fass, Lauren Fortgang

So bad, wow, bored to tears.

Gone to Dust by Matt Goldman

Enjoyable, this is the author's first book and I'd read the next.

Living with a SEAL by Jesse Itzler

Fun. Billed as "31 Days Training with the Toughest Man on the Planet" this book delivers as it chronicles daily surprises of the trainee and trainer. The SEAL turns out to be a very interesting fellow, I'd read a book by him if it existed.

The New Breed: Brotherhood of War by W. E. B. Griffin

Book 7 continues this fun, history based, military soap opera.

The Generals by W. E. B. Griffin

Brotherhood of War, Book 6 continues the enjoyable military soap opera.

The Berets by W. E. B. Griffin

Brotherhood of War, Book 5 continues this enjoyable macho soap opera about life in the military.

Reflex by Dick Francis

I didn't know there were any Dick Francis books I hadn't read and what an utter joy it was to find this one!

The Terminal List by Jack Carr

It's a solid story with good action, a modernized Outlaw Josey Wales but there's something about the righteous mean smugness of the main character that grows tiresome. If the author can suppress this, this could grow into a good series.

The Limehouse Text by Will Thomas

Barker & Llewelyn Series, Book 3 is like the previous installments, enjoyable but not great.

The Last Heroes by W. E. B. Griffin

A Men at War Novel, Book 1 in the series was not very interesting. Probably the least interesting Griffin novel I've heard.

The X-Files: Cold Cases by Joe Harris, Chris Carter, Dirk Maggs - adaptation

Boring

Astrophysics for People in a Hurry by Neil deGrasse Tyson

Wanted to like it but it didn't grab my interest.

The Dispatcher by John Scalzi

Listened to a few chapters and wasn't grabbed by it. Not bad just not compelling enough to want to hear more.

The Colonels by W. E. B. Griffin

Brotherhood of War Series, Book 4 was enjoyable.

Under Fire by W. E. B. Griffin

The Corps Series, Book 9 is another pleasurable journey with endearing characters.

Make Your Bed by William H. McRaven

Little Things That Can Change Your Life...well there's some good messages in this sometimes jumpy story.

The Magnolia Story by Chip Gaines, Joanna Gaines

I was ready to not like this book, but they kept it short and sweet and it's fun to hear such a success story.

Grain Brain by David Perlmutter, Kristin Loberg

The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar - Your Brain's Silent Killers. This book may have a lot of valuable information but it is presented so zealously that it sounds like propaganda drawn from over simplified conclusions.

Shoe Dog by Phil Knight

A Memoir by the Creator of Nike is excellent.

Sunday, January 21, 2018

The Infiltrator by Brad Taylor

Uninspired, just OK.

To Kingdom Come by Will Thomas

Barker & Llewelyn Series, book 2 is enjoyable.

The Black Book by James Patterson, David Ellis

Characters described one way suddenly act very inconsistently. Too many bad people, described in a way with no redeeming qualities.

Some Danger Involved by Will Thomas

Barker & Llewelyn Series, Book 1 was very enjoyable, looking forward to the next. Could be a new series to follow!

The Authorities by Scott Meyer

Silly, took a long time to get though. It's not that it's bad, it's just not my style and thin on plot.

The Testament by John Grisham

Pretty good.

Gather Round the Sound by Paulo Coelho, Yvonne Morrison, Charles Dickens

OK. Holiday Stories from Beloved Authors and Great Performers Across the Globe.

Crusader One by Brian Andrews, Jeffrey Wilson

OK, don't really remember. Tier One Thrillers, Book 3.

Jacob T. Marley by R. William Bennett

Fun, I enjoyed this look at the other side of a Christmas tale.

Act of Betrayal by Matthew Dunn

Enjoyable. A Will Cochrane Novel, Book 7.

True Evil by Greg Iles

Very good.
