Harry Bosch in ‘The Drop’ by Michael Connelly review.
http://jackreachernovels.blogspot.com/
When i started reading The Drop i thought i was reading a script from a reality T.V.cop show , a bunch of station cop chatter, yes that is right this book starts slow , all of Connelly's books do,so i was not to concerned. It was not long before Bosh and Chu had 2 cases going,.I have read and been a fan of the Harry Bosch series for quite a few books now, Harry is kind of a grumpy older dirty harry with a daughter he raises as a single dad.He bends the rules but does not break them.
The son of a councilman commits suicide and of course they demand Bosh takes the case even though the father and Bosh hate each other.I like the book because you predict a lot of things that are going to happen and your wrong ,that's what a good book is all about,your interest makes you predict and the author guesses your prediction misleads you and you look like a fool in your own eyes for not being right.I was wrong 2 or 3 times in this story,so you know there is a lot of twists that keep your interest.
Grumpy Bosh even manages a little romance with a sex councilor,and of course she has more issues than the New York Times.I like this book but i like the last half much better than the first half.It is basically a true detective story along the lines of Mike Hammer or Alex Cross. Connelly is not Patterson nor is Bosh, Alex Cross, but it is a must read and it will entertain you, this book will sell well simply because it is believable, it is not fantasy.

EXPLOSIVE EIGHTEEN, by Janet Evanovich review
EXPLOSIVE EIGHTEEN, by Janet Evanovich review. #18
http://jackreachernovels.blogspot.com/
As i read this book i had the feeling i read it before, i did 17 other times.10 of the first 18 made you smile even laugh at times.There were twist and adventure and love.But most of all she finished the story,unlike in EXPLOSIVE EIGHTEEN, as soon as she finishes the last 5 chapters I'm sure it will be worth reading.
Come on really, how many times is the same guy going to steal your car,there are some bright spots in this book and when it is finished and republished i will buy it ,till then buy kill Alex Cross it's much better,or Lee Child’s astonishing new thriller One Shot,or even The Litigators,Janet is a great writer but certainly this is not her best work. She needs to take her time and get her humor back as that's what her style was all about i would love to see it back.This is a do not buy sorry Janet.But if you want it here is the e book and paper back link

Answer:Read a book
Answer:Read a book
Question:I am bored there's nothing to do,what can i do that is different and good for me and not expensive.
Reading: was a lost pass time for a while but now with online book sales, and the nook and kindle readers reading is on a huge upswing. 5 billion sites on reading now wow that is exciting, it means literacy is back.Reading is to the mind what exercising is to the body, if you do not exercise, you get soft and flabby ,out of shape same with your brain ,if you do not use it it gets soft and out of shape and your memory is not 100 percent.It has been proven if you read and exercise your brain, your more alert and your memory improves.
Reading is also one of the best stress and anxiety reducers we know of. If you had a bad week sit down with a good action book,or romance novel or what ever your interest is, block out the world and live the life you are reading about.This is great for your heart and brain as the stress goes away and you are using your brain exercising it as we would say. Do this for a couple weeks and watch the improvement in your mental health your memory and your life style.
Reading a book may be a little more work than watching a movie, but it is much more descriptive and personal as in a movie you never know what the character is thinking, you are often filling in the blanks.But in a book you get to know what everyone thinks you get to know each individual character is thinking what they are like ,almost like you know them personally. A well written book fills in the blanks, gives you profiles on every one,so in your head your only trying to predict the ending,and you can not stop reading because you need to know if your right.
There is a book on every subject known, i do not care what the subject is you can find a book to read to fill your interest.All the knowledge of man has been written down in a book,not only can your exercise your brain you can learn things you never had any idea you did not know.Always read books that you are interest in the subject they are writing about as you will not loose interest.Always choose a book written by a good author, like James Patterson or Lee Child or Stephen King. Try to read a review on it first to see if it's within your interest range.I like action, suspense, thriller books my wife reads romance novels. But there is a book for you out there exercise your brain ,your memory ,try reading a good book.
