I got this from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Having just read a biography on Moses Malone and read Julius Erving’s memoir a few years ago, and also reading a memoir about Eddie Gottlieb, the man responsible for professional basketball in Philadelphia, I was intrigued. This book is pretty…
I was aware of who Madden and Summerall were and was eager to read this book. I am glad this book didn’t go into extreme details for every NFL game John Madden and Pat Summerall worked together as broadcast partners. This book highlighted how they got started as broadcasters and how they got together as…
When I saw this one as an upcoming new release, I immediately threw it in my “want to read” list on Goodreads. I was interested in to learn more about his life growing up with an actor dad and an actor brother. I was interested in some of his movies that I thoroughly enjoyed –…
I have recently finished reading all of the Lucas Davenport Prey books, so I was familiar with Virgil Flowers. It was nice, though, in this book, that I got a lot more insight into Virgil’s parents, his marriages and divorces, his fashion (rock and roll t-shirts), and his curb appeal to the ladies. There is…
I have had this book in my want to read list for a while, and I have tried a few times to get into it, and stopped. It’s something that intrigued me, but again, I just couldn’t get into it. Well, a few days ago, I tried again, and this time, I trudged slowly through…
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. As a music fan, when I saw this book, I was definetely intrigued. I did get the opportunity to visit the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame once, but that was many years ago. I also own most of…
I got this from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Before I dive in, I was a huge basketball fan (mainly San Antonio Spurs, but also the league in general). So, when I saw this biography of Moses, I was all in and extremely intrigued. I knew a little about…
I got this from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. Before I dive in, I was a huge basketball fan (mainly San Antonio Spurs, but also the league in general) when Tim was in the NBA and this book actually brought back a lot of memories of him, his teammates,…
I just finished reading the Prey series by John Sandford, and Kidd is in some of those books. I thought I would give this series a read before I start the Virgil Flowers series. Well, I didn’t like it as much as I thought I should and am glad I didn’t start with this one…
I just finished reading all the Lucas Davenport series books. I wasn’t sure if I would like this story, as it felt forced by the publishers and editors – just to get something written for these two authors and characters. I am glad it was a quick read for me, as there was hardly any…
I was a little bit sad that this is the last book in the Lucas Davenport series, but am also glad at the same time that I can start the Kidd series and Virgil Flowers series by Sandford. I have already read all the Letty Davenport books by Sandford. I will definitely be in line…
I got this book from Netgalley so I can read and review it before it’s published. I just happen to stumble on this book while I was browsing on Netgalley, and I was interested. I mean, I knew a little about her and wanted to learn more. I am not a fan of her music,…
I got this one from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. I was interested in his background and how he got started, and was satisfied with that aspect. I loved reading about his passion for music, especially hip-hop and how rapping put him on the map to succeed, and succeed…
Have you ever read a book, and everything is flowing perfectly and then you turn the page, and boom, a main character gets killed? That happened to me in this book, and I won’t spoil it and tell you who it was, but I will tell you, I was very shocked and perplexed by it…
I’ve been reading the Prey series with Lucas Davenport as the main character by John Sandford. I wasn’t planning to read this one yet—I wanted to finish the Prey books first—but I spotted it, along with The Dark Angel (Letty Davenport #2), at the library and couldn’t resist checking them both out. They also had some of the later Prey books, which I…
In the present time, the bodies of two young girls are found. Lucas was one of the police officers on the original case, and through flashbacks, the story shines a light on what went down back then. Lucas was a relatively new police officer and was working hard to get noticed by his superiors. Also,…
Ok, so this 3rd book in the Jane Smith series wasn’t as good I expected. And, it got confusing for me as you had to have read the first two books in order to understand the characters. I just wish new characters and circumstance would’ve been introduced. Maybe they are planning on that for the…
In this one, a new character, Virgil Flowers, is introduced. Often referred to as “that fucking Flowers” by Rose Marie and Davenport, I am excited to read his books when I complete all the Prey books.
In Book 16: Broken Prey by John Sandford, Lucas Davenport gets an iPod from his wife — and it becomes a running theme throughout the novel. I have only read one other book, Soundtrack of Silence by Matt Hay where music was prominently featured throughout the book. Lucas spends the book talking about the songs he wants…
After reading a bunch of cop thrillers, I needed a break from them and even though this one wasn’t on my to be read list, I kept seeing it on the Kindle recommendations and also my wife was watching I Love Lucy. Yeah, I was intrigued. Myself, I knew of Desi and Lucille Ball from…
