I had to split the post because I couldn't include enough tags. <shrug>
The Thomas Berryman Number
by James Patterson (thriller). It's weird to realise James Patterson
was writing bestsellers in 1976. What a different style he had. I'm also
beginning to notice style differences between decades. Books in a
certain decade have similar writing styles, even among widely-different
writers. Rating: Good
Down the Long Hills by Louis
L'Amour. A young boy takes a young girl across the plains of the old
West (USA) after their wagon train is massacred. Villains get after
them, while the boy's father hunts for him equally desperately. Sweet
story, happy ending. Rating: Very good.
Risk by Dick
Francis (thriller). One of his better ones, and the hero is a chartered
accountant. This was the book that made me feel CAs were not boring;
something for which I am very grateful now. Rating: excellent.
Reign in Hell
by William Diehl (thriller). After a bit, I realised this was the
middle book in a series. Lawyer Martin Vail tries to bring down a
parallel government/militia in the USA, under direct orders from the
General (Attorney General, ha!), and mixes up with his old nemesis, the
evil mass-murderer Aaron Stampler. Rating: Good.
Stone Cold by David Baldacci (thriller). The third in the series, and equally good. Rating: Very Good.
Part 2 of 2. Part 1 is here.
