Nine Dragons

by Michael Connelly
- Rated 3 stars
“It's a decent book, it feels like an action movie. Some predictable events, not bad overall.”

Tilt-a-Whirl

by Chris Grabenstein
- Rated 3 stars
“A very enjoyable summer read, with great cast of characters. I'd say the actual case being investigated is not very original, and you can guess the whodunit part quickly, but it's still fun to follow John Ceepak and Danny around in Sea Haven. I'll get the second book in the series.”

Sun of Suns

by Karl Schroeder
- Rated 2 stars
“I've listened through this book (got it on audible.com), and it wasn't too bad but I just couldn't take its world seriously, with wooden spaceships, pirates and sword fights.”

Open and Shut

by David Rosenfelt
- Rated 3 stars
“I've got this book through an audible.com sale, didn't expect too much, but I've found it a great read. Exciting story, likable characters, lots of tension and good humor throughout the book.”

Gone Tomorrow

by Lee Child
- Rated 3 stars
“Really exciting, fast-paced book, I liked it, but the Reacher character is such a know-it-all smart-ass, it's annoying.
He knows everything about everything. I also did not like the fact that a certain object has such a high importance, but I think the author couldn't really come up with a good reason on why, so he just leaves it open. Still, read it just for the action!”

by Ian Rankin

In Defense of Food

by Michael Pollan
- Rated 3 stars
“I like what the book talks about, and I will certainly utilize some of the things I've learned from it, but it's quite a boring read. I think the same message could have been conveyed in probably in 15-20 pages. Anyway, I think this might be THE book to get to learn about the right attitude towards food.”

A Most Wanted Man

by John Le Carre
- Rated 4 stars
“A well written, thoughtful spy story from le Carré, with a super bleak outlook, like his last couple of books. I totally knew how it will end, but I had to read anyway.”

World War Z

by Max Brooks
- Rated 4 stars
“Shockingly real - this is exactly what's going to happen with the world if there's a zombie virus outbreak. I have the audiobook version from Audible, which is probably the best version with an excellent voice cast.”
