Book: Rise Again

I just finished Rise Again by Ben Tripp.

I really like Zombie Apocalypse fiction. This was a good action adventure survival story. Great survival concepts. Great characters.

Rating = 7 of 10

Forest Peak, California. Fourth of July.

Sheriff Danielle Adelman, a troubled war veteran, thinks she has all the problems she can handle after her kid sister runs away from home. But when disease-stricken refugees from Los Angeles overrun her small mountain community, Danny realizes her problems have only just begun—with the end of the world.

When the streets are choked with dead, the living grieve. When the dead begin to move, the living hope. And when the dead begin to feed, the living fight to survive. Because if you die…

You rise again.

Book: Dragon Keeper

I just finished the book Dragon Keeper by Robin Hobb.

This is book one in the Rain Wilds trilogy.

I like the story, the characters, the world. I enjoyed the book except for one thing. The book was not a finite story with a real end. It is one of the ones that just ends on a chapter.

I don't have book two, dammit! Neither does my damn library!!

--Oh the humanity!!

Agni's Philosophy

--I love these cgi efforts.

Book: The Cut

I just finished reading The Cut by George Pelecanos.

I can't say it was that good. No mystery really. The main character was not that likable. It was predictable. The actual premise in the end was thin.

Rating = 5 of 10

--It was ok.

Books: The Sentry, and Grave Secret

I finished reading two great books this week. Both are part of series whose characters I just LOVE.

The Sentry has a central character named Joe Pike. He is awesome.

Grave Secret  has Harper Connolly as it's central character.

Great stuff.
