Book Report October

A laptop malfunction in October led to a loss of many of the books i had marked up for future readings. Anyway, I managed to finish Ratcatcher. I kept waiting for things to happen in the book. Except a decent sex scene, there was nothing much in the book. I mean, the blurb said that the lead character is badass and everyone is scared of him. He had to get his ass saved by a secondary character TWICE in the book. That's not badass. Anyway, all said and done, the guy, Hawkwood fires a single shot from a sniper rifle to end the novel and kills the girl he had had sex with earlier. Wtf dude. Seriously.

In other news, i read Jack Reacher's next novel, Worth Dying For. It is the standard Jack Reacher fare. Those who love previous Jack Reacher novels must give this one a read, because the end of 61 Hours (previous book in Reacher series) there was a mystery of how Reacher survived the blazing drug filled inferno. Well, he did. Somehow, it is not very clear in the novel, but hey, dude is our hero. He is awesome in his cool calculated, methodical, violent ways. Reading a Jack Reacher novel is like sitting with an old friend and sharing a cold can of beer. Ah yum.

And, the literary Juggernaut, Stephen King won't stop at all. After his last book, Under The Dome, he is releasing his book, Full Dark, No Stars which is a collection of four Novellas. How novel.

So, that's about the books and some of the book news.

I bought another book, "We Know" by Gregg Hurwitz. I started reading it, but it's no page turner.

Also, I am reading Scott Siggler's Infected on my phone. Which is a strange experience, but my Nokia 5800 is holding up pretty well.

Till next time!

Take care! and Keep Reading!
