Subscribe to book gorilla for daily listing of reduced and free books. Mainly crap but they do from time to time get some gems. This alerted me to Joe Hills Nos4atu, his dad's sequel to the Shining at crazy cheap prices as well as a few other good ones.Preacher Man wrote:Just bought a Kindle and have downloaded a few classics.

Borrowed it from a friend today, Colin. Will report back.colinthewarriormonkey wrote:colinthewarriormonkey wrote:A page turner
Not terribly well written, but hard to put down
Actually I did put it down for quite a while.
I've finished it now
What a fucking shit ending - I feel cheated.
I'm sure Michael did a TV series on this as well.Man_called_sun wrote:

Very well indeed MCS. Most of Michael's efforts are on DVD or you can follow in his footsteps on Youtube. Proud alumnus of Manchester Grammar School.Man_called_sun wrote:Blast from the past! How are things?ovechkin8 wrote:I'm sure Michael did a TV series on this as well.Man_called_sun wrote:
Finished it now. An easy bedtime reading page turrner. Quite liked the Saracen scenes, better than the clichéd solated all American hero. But rompathon reading and way too fantastical, like when he burgled the cop and escaped from Turkish plod. Suspension of disbelief writ large. For example, though a different scene, if I remember correctly, you, Colin, have had an ankle injury (maybe someone else). As per, I had an ORIF pin in ankle in 2012. Before I went to A&E could hobble at probably one mile a day with pain. Though different foot injuries, nah, to that walking though he surely has checked it possible with medics.Carlos J wrote:Borrowed it from a friend today, Colin.
