Reading Journal

A Thousand Bayonets by Joel Mark Harris


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


First of all, I would like to apologize for the time lapse between receiving the book from a goodreads giveaway and providing a review.

This is not my usual genre, but this book was nice. It really grabbed me in the middle, but I had to set it aside for a couple of days and I couldn't remember which "bad guy" was which. Also, I thought the language was a little cruder than it really needed to be. I agree with the other reviewer who mentioned the "John [verb]" formula. This story would have been a lot better had the writing not been so generic.
Even so, I'll probably read it again.

As a side note, Wiltore and Lewis remind me a little of Lassiter and O'Hara from the tv show "Psych."

I think it may be time to sign up for another goodreads giveaway.  Now that I'm not slated to read anything heavy, like Paradise Lost or the Catechism of the Catholic Church.   I've started reading the book my dad published just before Thanksgiving.  It follows the cinematic career of Linda Blair, the little girl from the Exorcist.  Let's just say I wish he had given me a chance to read it before he sent it off to the publisher....
