Ok when I first started this blog, what I wanted to do with it was critique books, movies, and music, but with my current situation well I do not get to hear a lot of new music or see a lot of new movies. Books on the other hand, I can do so I am going to review a few books that I have read recently and liked or disliked. Feel free to throw in books you have read that where good and when I get a chance I will try and read those as well. But I will be putting up a review about it later on so no lady romance novels please :) Anything else is fair game I suppose.
I recently just finished The Cirque Du Freak series by Darren Shan, its a teen series but its a fantastic read if you would like a new spin on Vampires. I do not know or really care to know if this author is a teen or not, because I simply enjoyed reading all 12 of these books. So check them out with an open mind to the vampire genre because this one is a LOT different from the norm.
Patterson - The Thomas Berryman Number was ok but not the normal Patterson read. Its very short and there are really no chapters just breaks in the writing which is weird for Patterson, no the less the story is well lacking and sometimes hard to follow with the way its layed out. Read it only if there is no other Patterson books left to read!
Patterson - The Quickie more of a typical James Patterson novel but I don't know if the co-author killed the book or if Patterson is just doing to many things at once these days, not as good as I had hoped for after reading the little excerpt. This story was good and readable but it just lacked that normal punch or suspense that Patterson novels are known for. Again its worth reading just do not expect to be in a state of suspense the whole time.
Currently I started a new book by Greg Iles called The Footprints of God, I am so far in awe of this book, if I could I would read it from front to back cover without putting it down, but I do not have that kind of time. It starts from page one and so far I am around 150 pages into it and am still just like WTF is gonna happen now. Lets just hope the ending does not suck or I will have to go on a baby punching rampage. Will update this once I finish.
Anyway as I get more time to read I will add more reviews, again feel free to let me know about some really kick ass books that folks are reading or have already read. I am trying to expand my book knowledge and i usually get suckered into the book with the cool looking covers with no one damn good page to read in it. As always I love and miss you all
