Had to Go Back and Reread Parts Due to Awesome Reveal!

March 8, 2017 by Classic 2 Comments

Well I’ll be honest. The main reason why this book is five stars for me is because of the awesome awesome reveal that we get about a character that I was ultimately dismissive of while reading. I ended up having to go back and reread parts of the book though after that reveal and just chuckle to myself. I think long-time readers are going to love it, no spoilers. Until that reveal I was probably firmly in the four-star range territory just because we have […]

Book Two Doesn’t Work At All

March 8, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

The only reason why I gave this book two stars is honestly because I was kind of fascinated by how Deaver looks at internet blogs, comments on those blogs, and how you can start to see how something that he looked back at when this book was published has morphed into what it is today with a lot of people on the internet claiming to be experts on something or how easy it is to spread a rumor about somebody with no factual basis and […]

Great Twist Thrown In

March 6, 2017 by Classic 3 Comments

After reading the latest In Death books, I went back to my bookshelf this weekend and re-read some of my favorites. It was nice to see what drew me to this series and what I hope to see again one day. “Visions in Death” follows Eve and company as they try to track down a serial killer. I really do love this one because we get to see the friendship of Eve and Peabody come full circle. We have fan favorites like Louise and Charles […]

After Watching Logan This Weekend…Perfect Balm for All Those Feelings

March 6, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

If you haven’t watched the movie Logan yet, look away! The character we follow in this All New Wolverine issue is Laura. We get to see her as she steps up to be the new Wolverine, while still being mentored by our Logan (who is now gone). In this first issue, we see that Laura has doubts about who she is and what she is doing. She feels like a monster and just a killing machine. When she gets knocked out, she apparently gets some […]

Masquerades as a True Christie Book, It is Not

March 6, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

This book sucked which is why I kicked it to the proverbial curb when I got to 40 pages in. I often say that a good DNF review can steer potential readers away from a book that the reviewer articulates why it would be a waste of time. Honestly, all you have to know is that Agatha Christie did not write this novel. Instead, Christie wrote a play called “Black Coffee.” However it was not turned into a novel. Decades later, Charles Osborne would take […]

Feels a Bit Like Filler, But I Still Loved It

March 6, 2017 by Classic Leave a Comment

I have to say the art in these graphic novels showing how our Roland becomes the Gunslinger that many long time King fans know and love is awesome. In issue #4 out of 7 in the first part of the series we have Roland and Susan admitting that something is between them and Roland falls in love. Of course long time readers know what is going to be happening next right? Cause if you don’t, I say look away. I am actually a bit nervous […]
