A Lion Called Christian

A Lion Called Christian: The True Story of the Remarkable Bond between Two Friends and a Lion by Anthony Bourke
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an easy read. It was a wonderful tale about 2 best friends and their journey with owning a lion cub and then releasing him back into the wild with teh assistance of George Adamson. There were lots of quirky stories but the entire book left you with a warm fuzzy feeling. Cannot begin to describe how much i enjoyed the book. I even went so far as to dream what it would be like owning a lion cub!

Deeper Than the Dead

Deeper Than the Dead by Tami Hoag
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

The premise of this book is great as it revolves around See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil. As the story unfolds it becomes more predictable. I will admit that i had figured out the killer by page 174, which is a tad unfortunate. The dynamic between Anne Navarre and her cop boyfriend is enough to make you puke. The one thing that i really enjoyed reading about was the character of Dennis Farman. He was such a derranged child and the way his mind worked had me in awe. It was almost an inside view of what a homicidal maniac would be in his childhood years. The story line was very basic and not very exciting. I didn't really enjoy reading this book and i'm glad it's over.

WhiteOut

Whiteout by Ken Follett

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


When i read the bio on this book i was really excited because it was about a virus that was cast on the same scale as Ebola. After the initial few chapters the book more was about whether or not the criminals were going to get their opportunity to expose the virus in the public sector. The book played out more like a cop drama where the chief inspector was chasing after the bad guys, therefore making the story predictable. This wasn't the worst book i've read but there's no way in hell it compares to RICHARD PRESTON'S HOT ZONE. Ken Follett is a talented writer and it was interesting to see how he managed to fit in the variety of characters while trying to keep the story based on a a possible breakout. Mediocre read.
