We Know :: Greg Hurwitz - Non Review

I finished reading the book yesterday. It started off with a good pace but somewhere around the middle the pace slackened. The book kept promising something more with every page turn but nothing happened. Well, nothing much. No exploding helicopters, no dragons. Very less body count. A book should get the reader excited and keep him awake till morning light. Sadly, this book was not that.

Lately, i've been picking books just by looking at covers and reading blurbs, just a primal instinct to pick books and challenge myself to read them. But last few reading experience of real books have not been that good. On the other hand, i've enjoyed reading ebooks like 61 Hours and Worth Dying For, both Jack Reacher books. And presently, i am reading Eternal Prison by Jeffery Somers. JS is a fun dude, you can read his blog here.

Picked another book Furnace : Death Sentence by Alexander Gordon Smith. No idea what kind of book it is. Seemed fast and the cover was good. See, this is all it takes to make the sale sometimes. :)

Laters.

One More Hiatus

Hello to the non-existent readers of this blog. I am alive and well. After conquering NaNoWriMo, as mentioned in the last post, i didn't want to let the momentum die and so i decided to write A Story A Day on my main blog with the same name. You can check out www.fubar69.blogspot.com for daily stories. I've written eight stories as of today, but there are still 22 more to come. I am reading "We Know by Greg Hurwitz" whenever I can squeeze in a few minutes from here and there. This book is slightly like Jeff Abbot's Trust Me but its got a certain calm pace which makes me want to pick the book up right now and go through few more pages. This was not the case with Trust Me. Maybe because everything was very clear and on the face in Trust Me, while "We Know" keeps its cards close to its chest and reader gets the info in bits and pieces, well, anything that makes a reader turn the pages is good. Right.

Will post more when I pick another book.

Take Care!
