[PattyMacDotComma]

I'd have been saying a lot more than Hail, Mary, if I'd been on board that spaceship in Andrew Weir's amazing sci-fi adventure, Project Hail Mary! A wild, fascinating ride into the unknown, full of warmth and affection in spite of the terror.

This book got a lot of bad reviews but I like Nelson DeMille and wanted to give it a fair try. Sad to say, it wasn't the author's usual high-quality product. For most of the book, I thought either it was an AI experiment or "training wheels" for DeMille's successor. It's repetitive (could've been cut by maybe 1/3 and lost nothing) and at times almost crass. I've enjoyed other John Corey novels but this was...sorry...bad. Corey's endless bragging about how tough he is gets old by the twentieth pass. His ambiguous side remarks contrast very negatively with his actions with the "love interest". Even the climactic scenes were borderline silly.
Writing a novel isn't easy, so I'll give him 2 stars which is generally my minimum. But it's a stretch. I hope the next one is better written. Nelson De Mille's many fans deserve far better than The Maze.

Just started The Covenant of Water by Abraham Verghese. At once was sucked into it. The writing is superb, word choice stunning. I stayed up way late but finally had to put it down (eyes burning, dawn coming). I had enjoyed Cutting for Stone, hoped this would be as good. It's very different and even better!

In The Last Coyote by Michael Connelly, LA Detective Harry Bosch is up against it following the 1994 record-breaking earthquake that wrecked his house. Mind you, that's the least of his problems.

I enjoyed Detective Zoe Mayer's latest murder investigation with her service dog, Harry, aka The Good Dog. I'm sure he is one of Simon Rowell's most popular characters. What's not to love?
My review of The Good Dog

[Alice]

I finished Leaden Skies . This book is set in 1880 Leadville, Colorado. Very good historical mystery captures the time period. You get a feel for walking around in muddy streets, going to a saloon. Characters are mulit dimentional. This is book 3 of the series. Starting at the beginning is good idea but I have not read this series in many years and was not confused.

Completed Lincoln's Last Trial: The Murder Case That Propelled Him to the Presidency by Dan Abrams | read by Adam Verner

A murder trial was the last thing Lincoln wanted to take on as there was talks at the time people wanting Lincoln to enter the political arena. Book appeals to those who enjoy the law, murder trials or true crime stories then this is worthy read.
