ABCDEath
Yes, I fucking read HP7. And what do I have to say about it? Fuck JK Rowling. Fuck her right in her scrawny, white asshole with a spiked bat the size of Cuba. Do you know how much of a pussy path she took in this book? The biggest fucking cop out she fucking could. Oooo, who will live, who will die? If you're gonna have that as one of your fucking grabs, then YOU NEED A FUCKING HUGE BODY COUNT, you sodding bint. Kill people! Lots of them! I've seen gay porn with a lees contrived plot than this. And after buying and reading this book, I feel like I've been forced into the aforementioned film. You raped my soul, bitch. You seriously raped my soul and left it bleeding like a transvestite Asian hooker with syphilis on heroin in a Motel 6. When you die, hell will be too good for you. Fuck.

The Kill
Yay! More book review. So freaking glad pulp is making a comeback.
Book the fifteenth - The Colorado Kid
Despite being a well written, higly acclaimed book that has single-handedly brought attention back to books of the 30's and 40's pulp style, I think this was the weakest of the 5 in this set of books I've read. Having said that, this is still one of the best books I have ever read in my life. I'm not normally a fan of Stephen King. I read "The Stand" when I was in high school. I've also enjoyed "Needful Things" and "The Dark Half." But I can't really seem to get into his books. This one was not a problem for me however. The pacing and plot were well done, characters were fully developed and there was just enough suspense to keep me on the edge of my seat without making it feel forced. My only real complaint is that I have no idea what happened. But that's not important. Great book. Great read. Low price.
Book the sixteenth - The Guns of Heaven
Truly a masterpiece. Set in present times and dealing with the IRA and how it affects one man's life, this book is full of complex plots and gritty realism. I don't want to say too much about this for fear of giving something away, but you'll never look at the Irish the same after this. Well worth the read.
Book the seventeenth - Grave Descend
Very clever and well written tale concerning a sunken boat and it's recovery. Some of the characters feel a little forced into the picture, but work well within the whole of the cast. Altogether, a solid red with an interesting hook.
Book the eighteenth - Lucky at Cards
May I just say that Lawrence Block is the fucking man? An amazing and riveting tale of a man who has hit rock bottom, falling into the best stroke of luck he could hit and where it takes him. A story of lust, betrayal, deceit, revenge and redemption. Well woven.
Book the nineteenth - Bust
Again, well written. Full of twists. Amazing plot with a healthy cast of characters. The crosses and double crosses make for an engrosssing tale. A little slow to start, but picks up nice and quick. By the end of the book, it's a blitzkreig of true noir style. Best of the bunch.
