Strong successor to Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Oops, wait a minute…  it’s a different author. Ah, that’s because the book takes place in Finland and Thompson ‘s writing is a lot like the style of Stieg Larsson. Oh yeah, and there’s plenty of similarities in sex, violence, and revenge. I really enjoyed it and will be reading more of his books. Definitely tattoo-worthy.

This is the sequel to Robopocalypse–a continuing story of man’s  technology rising up against him. Her, whatever. It’s not exactly a  sequel, as it has no relation to Robopocalypse, except for the theme of mankind letting its creations go out of control. This is about a  technology that enables electronic chips being implanted in people’s heads that  assists, or amplifies, the brain and nervous system….

Each chapter of this book reads like a short story, even though they’re all related to the central story, about a worldwide uprising of robots. It obviously takes place in the future, and has a resemblance to the Terminator movies. The robots here though, instead of being built for human extermination, are normal household robots. They have superior strength and intelligence though, so they’re quite capable of getting the…

Another winner by The King. Although it’s not hard to figure out that changing history can lead to some “interesting” results, Stephen King manages to throw in enough plot twists and cliffhangers that he makes the reading become an extremely fun trip back to 1958. And I’ll be darned if King didn’t manage to sneak in a pretty nice love story. It’s the first time…

Great action. If you like Vince Flynn (and Mitch Rapp), you’ll like this book. It starts off with a 13 year old boy fighting several British commandos in the boy’s dojo. Brutal–but you won’t be putting the book down for the next few pages. Some words that describe the book would be: violent, bloody, exciting, and suspenseful. The hero, Steve, is a cross between Mitch…

Surprisingly good, considering I had never heard of the author. But, I’m a sucker for horror, and this was right up my alley. It has all the right elements–fear, monsters, blood, violence, insanity, and the all-important “yes, I care what happens to the characters.” I paid $6.00 for it, but I’ve seen it on other sites for $3. I bought it in epub format, which…

By Steve Martini–This story was just full of twists, and has two really, really evil characters. One is the mastermind, and the other is an assassin. The author hides the ultimate goal of the mastermind until close to the end of the story, and we’re at last able to figure out what the title refers to (no, I’m not telling). The hero, San Diego defense attorney…
