Book Reviews

  • The King of Torts: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    The Good: John Grisham is back to writing his more typical legal thrillers. It’s a great way to waste some time when nothing is pressing and The Bachelor is the only thing on TV. Until you get to “the ugly” that is The Bad: The good guy is… rather yuck. It’s hard to feel bad…

  • Nothing to Lose: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    (Jack Reacher book 12) BY LEE CHILD The Good: I love Lee Child’s writing style. His descriptions draw you in instead of bore you, and he has a way of keeping the suspense building. But, for this book, the writing style is the best thing about it. The Bad: Reacher’s political views must be the…

  • The President Writes Back!

    Since this is the President George H.W. Bush week, I thought I’d re-post this. He and Barbara have done some things for the Children’s Cancer Research Foundation.

  • The Assassin – The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    The Good: It’s hard to find a good thing about an assassin, but this one is fairly likeable, as assassins go, but bad enough to want him dead. As for the book, it is far and away the best of the Isaac Bell Series, highly recommended! Part of the reason I enjoyed it so much…

  • Damage: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    The Good: A great read, easily one of the best by Dick or Felix Francis. Lots of fun horse and horse racing facts mixed in what a good thriller. The Bad: It seemed to end too quickly – abrupt really. Maybe that just shows I liked it a lot and didn’t want it to end?…

  • Tripwire: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

    The Good: Unlike the rest of the reading world, I’m new to Reacher. I hear the books improve the more you read. Not that you could prove that by this one. The Bad: A few things here – #3 SPOILER ALERT! Skip it if you need to as it gives something away. 1 – The…

  • Iran Nuclear Deal Predicted

    In 2010, author Joel Rosenberg wrote a fiction work, The Twelfth Iman, about a nuclear deal between the USA, its allies, and Iran. Sound familiar? And, for my “less conservative” Canadian friends, you will like it. Don’t assume because Rosenberg is an American believer in the Bible, that he follows the typical conservative views or…
