It's the start of a new week. Have some mini book reviews.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

It seems some of you like my writing tips, which I'm glad about . Check back this Friday (13th) and I will be posting some more.

Anyway, today I'm going to share with you some of my favourite books that I think you may like.


#1 - STONE JUNCTION by JIM DODGE
 

This was one of those books that I took a chance with when I was starting to venture out from my usual sci-fi and horror books I always read and fancied something different. It was the cover that caught my attention first and after reading the blurb at the back I though, hell, why not. I was so glad I did, Stone Junction is such an amazing book with an array of bizarre characters that the main character, Daniel Pearse, meets along the way as you witness him on his modern odyssey and slowly changing from boy to man. This book is American literature at its best and more people should read this.

#2 - THE STRAW MEN by MICHAEL MARSHALL

I was first introduced to this book by my dad who gave me it to read a few years back, including the next two after (The Lonely Dead & Blood Of Angels). This is such a gripping story from the very start with a fantastic and shocking opening. Along the way is a mystery and conspiracy that the characters, Hopkins, Zandt, Nina & Bobby are embroiled in with some great twists and turns along the way which are quite shocking.
 I also loved the way it changes from first person to third person, depending on which character was being followed in that particular chapter. You would think that would be difficult to follow but you hardly notice and it works really well.  I urge people to read this trilogy, especially if you're fans of authors like Denis Lehane & John Connelly.

Okay I think that will do for now but I will be posting more throughout the foreseeable future. Hope you enjoy these and if you read them at all or have read them already please leave a comment and tell me what you thought. Also feel free to recommend me any books that you absolutely love as I'm open to anything.

Hope you all have a great start to the week.

Take Care.
