Book Review: Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion

Overview:
     R is an Zombie that yearns for something more than just being a zombie. R lives in an, airplane and saves Julies life. He falls in love with her and after she leaves, R follows her to be with her. Julie also falls for R. This is a love story between a human and a zombie which never happens. I really like this book. I highly recommend it if you're an zombie lover. If you don't like zombies i wouldn't read this book.

Characters:
R ( Zombie)
M ( Zombie R's Friend )
Julie ( Human ) 
Nora ( Human Julie's friend )
Perry ( Julies boyfriend )

RATING: 4/5

WHY:   Their is an sex scene with zombie's that just don't make sense.

Recommendation:  I highly recommend it for older teen's. some language that may not be suitable for younger ones and a sex scene.

Win a Limited "Doctor Sleep" by Stephen King.

Win a Limited "Doctor Sleep" by Stephen King.

#Reading "IT" by Stephen King

Today I will be starting "IT" by Stephen King. I will also be tackling my fear of clowns in this book. I have read it once when i was 12 right after my dad died. I have been afraid of clowns all of my life because of this book and always will be. "It" is one of, my favorite books by King. I am huge Stephen King fan even though i have read like 10 of his books.
** The not so happy look to be reading "IT"**

** The bookmark ( A scanned copy of the cover lol ), you can by the look on my face, that I really hate clowns.

Clowns are my worst fear, ever since i was about 8, I have been afraid of clowns. That was the first time I watched the movie "It". I am Rereading this becuase 1.) It's been a really long time since i have read it. ( It was my second King book, first was "The Shining"). 2.) My brother bought me the "Dvd" of "IT" so i want to read before i watch it. and finally 3.) To tackle my fear of clowns.

**Ps Iam up for a reading buddy one this one, cause i will be scared shitless**

Book Review: 'A Bridge to Treachery' by Larry Crane

, TTitle: "A Bridge to Treachery"

What it is about?
Former colonel Lou Christopher is an ex- Army Ranger retired from the military and contentedly working as a New York investment broker. After being assigned a number of lucrative accounts and becoming accustomed to living the good life, he discovers their is pay back. his former military skills are requested under a threat of losing everything he has.
 
 Handed a group of misfits to assemble into a military strike team, he is coerced into leading the team on a mission of domestic terrorism.  At the center of a bridge outside of Manhattan, his strike team is caught in the act and unexpectedly engaged in a deadly fire-fight. It's then he learns the mission was a political maneuver from the highest levels of the U.S Goverernment- and ultimately realizes he has been betrayed by his superiors. Learning his team was considered nothing more than collateral damage and intended to be kill and left as scapegoats.
 
As the strike team is decimated, he and a female teammate elude the opposition forces to survive and escape, turning the tables on his superiors. Using his distinctive set of military skills, he now becomes the hunter and vows to extract his revenge and bring them all down.
 
What I liked about the book
 
The book was well written and it was slow to start out but really picked up pace after about 50 pages. I liked how the author Larry Crane left the ending open for a sequal of the book. It was a quick read only took me four hours to read it, so if you want a quick read this book is for you.
 
What I didn't like about the book
 
The only thing I didn't like was how slow the book started out. But it was still a great read after i got passed that point.
 
Rating
 
3 out of five stars
 
Would I Recommed this book?
 
Yes I would Recommend this book to people who like thrillers.

Jack Reacher Novel List

I.am New to the Jack Reacher Series. I picked up the first book of the series (Killing Floor). Their is 17 Reacher book's, but you can read them out of order from the research I have done. Here is a list of all the reacher book's in published order.

#1 Killing Floor;
#2 Die Trying;
#3 Tripwire;
#4 Running Blind (US title)/The Visitor (UK title);
#5 Echo Burning;
#6 Without Fail;
#7 Persuader;
#8 The Enemy (the prequel, this takes place before the events of Killing Floor);
#9 One Shot;
#10 The Hard Way;
#11 Bad Luck and Trouble;
#12 Nothing to Lose;
#13 Gone Tomorrow;
#14 61 Hours;
#15 Worth Dying For;
#16 The Affair;
#17 A Wanted Man.

Yes I will be reading all the book's in the series, I like Killing Floor a lot, so I'am going to give the series a chance. I do disagree with Tom Cruise playing Reacher in the movie though. Reacher is like 6ft 5 something and well over 200lbs. Cruise Just don't fit the profile of Reacher. I will give the movie a chance though. I'am Picturing Tom Hardy a.k.a ( Bane from Batman)
