On the Up!

But never mind; this could influence my paid sales figures when the promotion finishes. My other e-book on the promotion, A COVERT WAR is not doing badly either; it has reached the #5 spot in both Spy and Action categori... read more »

Michael Parker gave to: The Bomber by Liza Marklund recommended to Michael Parker by: Friend recommended for: Fans of Steig Larrson read in January, 2012	My rating:
Just finished 'BOMBER' by Lisa Markund. She's a fine, Swedish writer even if she goes overboard on detail and unecessary clutter which has nothing to do with the plot. Probably accounts for the fact the book is over 500 pages long. But it's a good st...more

Michael Parker gave to: The Enemy (Jack Reacher, #8) by Lee Child read in October, 2011	My rating:
Good for Reacher fans. I've read quite a few Lee Child novels, but find now that my interest in Jack Reacher is beginning to wane. Far too much details in this novel for me. It simply shouted out that Lee Child was showing how clever he was. It all s...more
