Book Review

Jonny is going to try and keep it real today. Real on a topic not on a tangent. Practice his writing coherently skills. He is just passing page 100 of From a Buick 8. Ok now the font changed? Hmm. In this version no underling is possible so it keeps flipping to javascript when typing control u.

Jonny is not going to be fooled into using that other font. He copied the first sentence and pasted below. Phone. Angelina. Much about nothing. Not even worth noting. Yes don't f with Jonny mr blogger because Jonny fooled you into using the right font again.

So after that much text Jonny can form an opinion of the book. But first remember A Thin Dark Line? and Prior Bad Acts. Ok not much to talk about there. He read the reviews on Amazon. There is always a "I read every book by Tami Hoag and a Thin Dark Line is Awful". To Jonny the books were similar. Prior Bad Acts seemed more suspenseful since it was audio. The serial killer part was more scary than a thin dark line. But Prior bad acts lost some of its touch because it stayed on one day for so long. A thin dark line was romance and it had it all over from the first glance. Oh well, stick with guy books.

Now onto bladerunner. Sci fi. Written in 1968! the year Jonny was born. It had a different title too. Jonny checked the reviews on Amazon just now. Yep the book sucked. But it sucked in a weird kinda way. Ever read 1984, animal farm. Did those books suck? Yes in a weird kinda way. They aren't about the action. They are about the philosophy. That isn't the right word. Is there a word for moral dilemmas? But anyway the consensus is the movie is about nor and rain in San Fran. So Jonny wants to see it to see how it compares to the book. Most people did it the other way around. And since he remembers this much of the movie. Yeah the book was about zero on the action scale. The main character was a dweeby dork.

King is an arrogant, I am the best writer, kind of writer. His stories make you want to turn the page. But he drags the story out. He makes the reader feel like this guy has a massive ego. This is his signature. Also this book is a flashback - yuck. It was supposed to be the inspiration for his finishing up the Dark Tower series. This is about police and Pennsylvania. Angelina is from there and Thin Dark Line had a lot of police in it.

Jonny read a chapter of plain english at work and started the book Love is the Killer App - how to win business and influence friends. He read the first chapter of that book. Both on Friday. Today he had physical therapy so that broke up the day a bit. Since Lea is gone for the week he has to do some work that she normally would do.
