another tough guy book

Although skillfully written this book is trite.  Very predictable although very creative. A worthwhile read but nothing more than a good male romance book

I like an exciting good guys and bad guys book once in awhile. Baldacci did a good job on this one I think.

I read a lot of these and it was pretty good.  Unlike some of the other books by PA game wardens, he goes into the role of the Deputy Wardens more.  It also shows another side of game policing in that some of the other books are happy tales of furry critters or cop books in the woods, this fellow  rights in a workman like fashion about his workman like duties.  It was still a very good read because you get the technical details that you do not get in other books.

TITLE: SAVING LAURA
AUTHOR: JIM SATTERFIELD
PUBLICATION DATE: JUNE 25, 2013

At the heart of it, there's a good guy (Shelby Lee) who robs some bad guys in order to save his girlfriend (Laura) and get the bad guys caught and out of her life for good. Or that's the plan. This being a criminal business has a lot more to it than Shelby had prepared for!

NOTE: RICK-LIT! (Instead of Chick-lit for gals, guys get Rick-Lit in my world)

This is a great book for a guy outdoorsman to enjoy. Make no mistake, any who enjoy a good read can enjoy it, too, but in the world of thrillers, this one is definitely one with a wealth of details about everything outdoorsman: Fishing, hunting, self-protection, even flying in good detail that shows a lot of specialized knowledge.

The one thing this book shows a big lack of, is knowledge about how someone detoxes from drugs. I'm sorry, but sleeping through most of it, not really happening...sure, Shelby does know there is a long road ahead of them, has money ready for drug rehab and counseling too, so at least there is that...

END: Solid; well wrapped up.

The guys in her book are SO tough on the outside and the only soft spot is for the girl.  I am such a sucker for that!

I liked Primal Vengeance just as much as the other books in the series.  Mr. Silkstone does a good job of building tension and maintaining it.  The action tends to be fast and furious with several pages flying by.  However after doing this repeatedly, it becomes predictable.  Losing a character was a good way to build empathy for the remaining team members.  It just happened a little too early in the book.

Over all I liked the story and the telling of it.  I will continue to read more books in the series as they come out.  I just hope Mr. Silkstone doesn't lose his focus like Clancy did.

Hunter has continued to keep us going on our Swagger addiction. Not his best, Point of Impact will always be my favourite but easy to read. Candy for the brain, that particular Swagger flavour.

Pretty much same old Reacher stuff. Found the ending to be best part of book. I cant get enough of this 500 lb. Gorilla of a military cop, so wrinkles, like ending perk it up.

Fast paced, graphic, plenty of blood and guts, but after reading the previous books I am getting tired of the sameness of the situations in which the heroes place themselves - six or seven goodies, armed with rifles agains hundreds of the enemy attacking in waves - Creepy, underground shootouts with little chance for our heroes to retreat - Hundreds of rounds of ammunition being expended for a few enemy put out of action - The enemy becoming almost immune to bullets (anyone thought of using alternative weaponry, flamethrowers, for example?) - The inexhaustible supply of ammunition and fuel - The island home base being penetrated by the enemy attacking in boats and succeeding in making a beach landing unopposed and so on. The story reads well, but after putting the book down, I find myself questioning the decision-making capability of those involved.

This is the second book I have read of the Jeff Bradley series.  I wished they gave the poor guy a gun in this one. I like the character and would like to see him become more complex. I like this series and will continue to read them.

Chuck Dixon brings the action in the first book of his  latest series "Levon's Trade".

I've followed Dixon since the 90's when he wrote comics such as "Punisher" and "Batman".

At this point he's a master of the tough loner who goes up against the bad guys formula.

He's also fantastic in Team books such as "Bad Times" and "Seal Team Six".

Levon Cade is on the trail of a missing girl and he goes through quite a few bastards to find her.

If you enjoy movies like "The Equalizer " then this book is for you.
I'm looking forward to the next books in the series .

Continuation of previous series books.  He has a lot of testosterone.  There should be a little more personal interface with female characters.

Although it seems the intrepid inspector is getting lazier and his cohorts are doing more of the grunt work, this was still a good book. I am hoping that the next one will have a more productive inspector and maybe a better backstory on those cohorts.

Great book, something good for an entry into Daredevil.

This is book three in the series.  The first one was really good (five stars) and the second was possibly even better.  This one falls a little short.

Gregor is back again as the German military intelligence guy who seems to always be in a difficult situation.  He is once again in the same city as in his previous two adventures, and he once again finds himself up against the same bad guys (who in this book are even "badder").  He also meets some new people, with different goals and ideals, and there is no shortage of conflict.  With so many adversaries with different missions and different things at stake, it is sometimes hard to sort out who is on the right side and who is simply a victim of circumstance.

However, this book seems like it was written a little too quickly.  The treatment of many story lines is a little superficial, and while it is readable to the very end, it is a little more confusing and difficult to follow than the first two books in the series.  It is a little more "jerky" in its transitions from scene to scene, almost like it was pushed out the door to meet a deadline when it could have used a few more months of polishing.  Had it been the first book in the series, I would not have been quite as enthusiastic about reading the rest.  But you should read it regardless of its shortcomings.

I have enjoyed the warrior series.  All of the books.  You have to be prepared for a man who is part mystic, part human, but mostly invincible. He survives anything.  After a while the human body just can't keep repairing itself to extreme fighting level regardless of aging.  But, it is still fun to read even though you know he is going to prevail no matter how bad he is hurt.  He knows every move and countermove and the speed at which he reacts is mind boggling.  I mean MIND BOGGLING.  But hey, it is fiction writing, right??

Steve the "noob"is a great book and like in my headline the BOOK is good not him. I mean I guess he's OK. But  in this book he almost died. So........ Now more to the book. He invents a shelf to get arrows easy and trains a new recruited night guard and the night guard and him almost die. So he built a training ground to help him learn then a mysterious guy comes A SURVAVER from book 1 and warns them Steve will fail again and then runs off before he dies. The end!
