Nobody puts Dawson in a box

Revisado: 05-01-24

I have been reading Mark Dawson for years and tried to stay away from this book. The protagonist isn't an assassin. Need 8 say more? This should have been outside Dawsons ability. It isn't. It is a great listen.

Barry Eisler reads his original series

Revisado: 03-05-24

I first read the John Rain books in early 2000.
I was bold, brash and even gave my opinions directly to Barry Eisler who was nice enough to take them. We still correspond once in a while. Barry Eisler began reading his own books when he started the Ben Treven series. It was also his first most graphic sex scene. Basically, I liked how he handled it but gave him an earful when he did what he did. Barry Eisler is not only a great author, but the books are good too. The first six series will be your voyage into the world of judo, assassination and the complex japanese culture. I can't believe I am going to say this but Barry Eisler is second to James Clavell, better than Lustbader and will not hurt your feelings like the the author of Geisha who lied. This is clearly a work of fiction. But also very informative on the subjects mentioned above. I will enjoy revisiting this series as told by the author himself.

Not quite M. Night Shyamalan...

Revisado: 02-10-23

The twist in this tale is quite unexpected.
Not quite M. Night Shyamalan but a nice twist in the end. Deaver loves it so much that he also pulls the same trick on the protagonist in the end.
I like the illusion that you actually know the story and then have the rug bizarrely tugged from under you to reveal that the same facts could tell a different story.
A stand alone novel that still keeps you interested.

Eplot twist defies synopsis

Revisado: 12-21-21

I didn't think I would like this series.
Each book starts slow. Thomas Prescott toots his horn in a way which hints towards inevitable disillusionment.
And yet still, the books maintain a feel good atmosphere and an inevitable plot twist in the end.

I was expecting the mini series

Revisado: 12-11-21

Not as fast as the mini series.
The same British humour without the blatant Island feel.
Doesn't start as far back as the series.
By and large, a good (not great) read.

I don't know

Revisado: 11-25-21

Seems okay.
Wouldn't watch the movie though.
Coming new to the series, one is left wondering what the title had to do with the whole book or series.

It takes a whole

Revisado: 11-24-21

The style overall is reminiscent of an act of prestidigitation.
It seems slow and often unending to read. A no-hoper of a case.
And yet somehow, Lawrence Block is working something else with his other hand.
This is my first Matthew Scudder. I don't know yet his style but if this is anything to go by, he is a good read for those who enjoy a long read.

another great story by Hurwitz

Revisado: 02-22-20

spolier alert
this one does finally kill the nowhere man. the is no coming back from all the injuries and challenges.
for once,our protagonist isn't Superman. this was an awesome conclusion to a fantastic run.
I can't wait for the spinoff of these series new that the biggest limiting plot love he has been resolved.
I enjoyed this unpredictable book I am sad it's over but glad there is a clear spinoff.
sorry if I gave too much away.
