I read Hillbilly Elegy and liked it, and I thought Vance was a fairly positive sort of character. I was disappointed when he reversed his position and joined the Trump chorus. Scheming for power? It seems to have worked out for him. Maybe he will be a stabilizing force in another Trump administration.

Billy Boyle #7 ............. It's 1944 and the Allied armies are fighting their way up the Italian peninsula. Billy is tasked to investigate a murder in the Vatican which is in a delicate situation because the Germans control Rome. This is another suspenseful adventure with a good deal of actual history included. I'm reading the series in order and this is a good one -- 4 stars.

Araych | 681 comments The Stainless Steel Rat The Stainless Steel Rat (Stainless Steel Rat, #4) by Harry Harrison by Harry Harrison

The first entry in the Stainless Steel Rat series which is the adventures of Jim diGriz a top level thief and con man in the 30th century. Fun, witty, fast-moving adventure/thriller. I liked it and I'll probably read another book in the series although it's not written at a very high level so it's impossible to take seriously. 3 stars.
