Hunters in the dark:A beach novel



So keeping this simple, I am looking at this as a basic beach novel, a fun read when you are relaxing and probably would make a comedy of errors in the mold of the 1980's.

It was what I expected and that was about it. I am honestly not really finding things that truly are in depth or worth more then a read and toss or just light skim.

So this is a fun mystery, a road trip romp for both the reader and the characters. The fact is that really I skimmed it, probably better for a beach chair and a fruity drink.
The cover and the back cover show more then they probably should and while fun the plot is paint by numbers in a lot of ways.

A Note

 All Books reviewed here are  received  from Blogging for Books. Thank you and have a great day. 

Apache Wars:History as Western



The Apache Wars was solid. Enjoyed the writer making a history that could be dusty as the desert he writes about but still keeps it fresh. 
I will have to reread and could see this as a history channel show from before crazy alien people. 

It is a bit hefty, and if you are not down for a hardcover read, find the audio book if you can.

Keeping Solid and Simple-How To Have a Good Day

Keeping it simple and basic this book is a solid way to help you plan your day for productivity. I found How to Have A Good Day a nice read, most of it is common sense. Organizing a day and getting the things you like least over with, but still repetition is needed sometimes in the development sphere.

Old Ladies on Fire, But It All Melted In The End.(Brooklyn On Fire)

Okay so this is going to be a short review. I tried to start this text with an open mind. However if a mystery can't fire your brain in the next 10 or so pages it is done. And this little book is done. I love the idea behind this. But a second book should have it's world truly established. 
Once the world is built, move the story along. I can tell the writer was in TV writing because the feeling of the dialogue was an attempt to be a sitcom with a mystery component. Not a mystery first.

Dear Mister Essay Writer guy-A quick bite review

A solid read, enjoyed for the brevity. While i tended to nod off before bed. It was usually with a chuckle. Something about the fact that cannibalism in the right context can be funny along with the grammar having blues. This is a quick read, light entertainment but some that has the benefit of adding to your knowledge base.

Book Review: Inside the Criminal Mind (It's the Steak not the Sizzle)

Title:"Inside the Criminal Mind

Author:

Stanton Samenow PHD

This book for all its pretensions, reads more like someone took a dissertation and published it en mass. The title was catchy and that threw me off. While meaty and in depth the book is dull as dishwater on a cloudy day. I am not expecting greatness but this is hard.
For the psych nerd this is probably a great read, for the dabbler that is me...not so much.

And this is a hard confession but I could not even finish it.

So if its hard deep psych you are into then have at it, me I am going to enjoy the final Terry Pratchett book.
