THE TBR RANDOMISER CHALLENGE
Duration: January 1 - December 31, 2014

#142. Tails of Wonder and Imagination 2/7/2014

[Megan]

Just completed for first random pick - The Lions Of Lucerne by Brad Thor. Felt like I was reading an guy's action flick - very little character development, lots of bullets, and a macho bachelor who can take more punches than any immortal ever could. The basic plot was ok, a tad convoluted, and several sections of the book were repetitive. Overall, not my fav book and won't continue with the series. 2.5 stars

1/15

[Barb]

Updated message #41; three out of twelve books done!

[Erika]
