move over john grisham

Revisado: 01-07-25

If you like John Grisham, then you'll love the Lincoln Lawyer books. The characters are interesting and likable. It even brings in Detective Bosch, so it feels like a Michael Connelly universe.

If you work in it you know these people

Revisado: 09-16-16

See the movie first then listen to this book. The book is so much fun. The book presents so many technically capable people with so many personality quirks that you will have worked with the cast of characters and can relate to the frustration of the nasa managers.

Mark has such a great logical mind and great sense of humor. Your ego will wish you were just like him.

Coming of Age

Revisado: 02-03-16

The movies capture the book's plot lines, but they do not capture all of J.K Rowlings words. The movies left out too much of her humor. The Narrator is brilliant. It is genious how he brings the characters to life, and the music adds depth to the telling of the story that can't exist in reading the book to yourself.

If you are over 14 I recommend starting with this book. The first two Books are lovely, but they feel like they are written for younger people. Me and my wife are over 50 and both love these stories.

Tom Cruise is no Jack Reacher

Revisado: 04-01-15

What did you love best about Jack Reacher: One Shot?

Another really good Jack Reacher novel. There were the don't piss off Jack, the every woman loves a man with scars, the fooled me again, the shrelock holmesish dectective analysis, and the military moments, with only one (spoiler alert) "come on, that many Russians wouldn't stand out in middle america moment."

This is the book that the movie was based on. The movie introduced me to the Character, which got me to read books 1 - 8. I liked Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher, until I read books 1 - 8. After reading this book I watched the movie again and thought the book adaptation was great, the filming was great, but the casting director must have been smoking crack.

Revolutionary war English point of view

Revisado: 09-22-14

Would you listen to Sloop of War again? Why?

Spoiler alert, ... the Americans won the Revolutionary War. This book was written from the perspective of the losing side, but I did not realize how much of a Torre I was until I found myself rooting for the English Captain Bolothio.

What other book might you compare Sloop of War to and why?

Any of the Master's and Commander's books by O'Brien. It is the same amazing historical fiction settings with different personalities.

orscon scott card keeps me reading

Would you listen to Ender's Shadow again? Why?

In the 1980's he invented political active user groups with locke and demonstenes. In the 1980's social media did not exist. There were old email news groups but they were in their infancy, something students did for fun. Orson used a potential future to make his own stories more real.

I ender's Shadow orson makes me believe I understand what it is like for a 6 year old orphan living alone on the streets. I do not know where he got his compasion and understanding to write from this perspective. I picked up the book to read about battle school but left needing to know more about relief agencies.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I had to keep reminding myself that this story was not historical.

The book made me feel like I was living the life with crazy horse.

It apears the well is dry of plausible interesting symbology stories.

I loved the first two books. I am glad I only listened to this story and did not have to read it.
