Darkness Descending by Ken Jones. An incredible account of surviving an ordeal that would have killed most people. Awe inspiring and beautifully written.

Anyone done any T.M. Logan?

Brilliant first two-thirds, the final third loses it’s way completely imho.

‘One Kick’ by Chelsea Cain. Well written, not a wasted or superfluous word. Anyone doing the just released Gary Numan autobiography? Very well reviewed from what I’ve seen.

:D. :thumbsup:

Beachy!!!

Tried to read that so many times, but have never got beyond about 5 pages in before binning it off. I’m giving - - - (the second book in the series) a go now, hoping for greater things.

Three quarters of the way through Michelle Obama’s excellent autobiography. A well-written, inspirational, fascinating and thought-provoking read, even if, like me, you have little interest in US politics.. My fiction fix alongside that - ‘Endangered’ by C.J. Box.

End Game - David Baldacci. Some of the dialogue is excruciatingly bad and the writing not always great. You do wonder whether there’s any truth behind the speculation that once they establish a name these authors have a team writing for them, the success of the book and sales guaranteed...

In a panic 20 book borrow from my local library before they closed I got out various by Baladacci, CJ Box and one by Chris Ryan ‘Death List’ which, if you can ignore ridiculous lines like ‘His slit throat looked like a Chinaman’s smile’ is a decent read. Anyone else done any Chris Ryan? The...

Minor issue in the grand scheme, but I do get hacked off with review sound bites that are given to one book by a particular author e.g. ‘A Scintillating Thrill Ride’ and then used on the jackets of all subsequent books by that author as though they relate to that book. Similarly, big name...

Into The Fire by Gregg Hurwitz, the latest in the Orphan X series. Just finished A Delayed Life by Dita Kraus, the autobiography by the woman The Librarian of Auschwitz was based on.

Very few people would have taken that mission on, certainly cost him a lot personally but rightly later recognised as a Polish hero. Was a good read, although I must admit to skipping some of the more basic historical stuff about the West/Britain & Auschwitz, included with good reason, but most...

Beachy! Since the late 1990s on here, when we were both (relatively) spring chickens, you have never let me down!! Don't Look Back by Gregg Hurwitz, good writing, cracking read.

Very much so, a mate runs one in Hove. One of the reasons I use the library is having a deadline to return books by, I also don’t particularly believe in the need to own books, read and pass on etc.

Attention spans aren’t what they once were. I always set myself a three chapter limit before I’m allowed to do anything, look at a device etc. Reading in the bath is a serious guilty pleasure and also an environment where distractions are kept to a minimum so conducive to turning pages.

Not exactly The Ragged-Trousered Philanthropists, Harold! Good effort though.

Better Off Dead by Tom Wood, my last of the 8 in the Victor the assassin series. Have absolutely hoovered through these at a rate of 100s of pages a day. Well written stuff. Next up, the Orphan X series by Gregg Hurwitz.

The Hunter - Tom Wood. The first of the Victor series, having read them out of order, not that it particularly matters. Great writing and, imho, far superior to the likes of Phillip Kerr.

The Enemy by Tom Wood, my first foray into the Victor series, not sure if important to read them in order or not.
