It’s an amazing experience to sit down and find out what your characters are going to do by watching the words appear on the screen. I never knew writing could be like that. I always assumed writers think of a story then write it down, but no, for me I’m finding out what happens after my fingers punch out the words. (less)

Easy to pick up.

Under the Dome has a great premise that hooks you from the opening pages. It got a little slow in the middle but finished strong. I didn’t like it as much as some of the other BIG novels like It or The Stand. Partly because I couldn’

Another good Reacher.

I’ve read a half a dozen or so Reacher books. Like the others, this one was good. It has a good mixture of both action and crime investigation scenes. The three main characters were well developed but other than that I didn’t rea

Good Adventure Mystery.

This had a lot more adventure than some similar type mysteries. I really like that aspect of it. However, I thought this book was too long. We spend too much time inside Simone's head. Every thought she has, repeated over and o

The author pays close attention to details of aviation. That really helped to sell the realism of this thriller. Overall the action sequences were pretty good and the characters were pretty good. I liked the story. I wouldn't say I was glued to the p ...more

Another good classic.

I’ve been reading King’s classics. This was another good one. Not quite as good as Misery which has such great atmosphere. Pet Sematary on the other hand is more character driven. Nobody does characters as good as King. I think
