Finished London Bridges

I have finished reading London Bridges by James Patterson and I hate to say that I would only give it a 3 out of 5 rating. That may be a bit generous. The story kept me interested until the end. I got the feeling that the author decided he had written enough so he just pulled some events out of his hat and ended the story. He left some events and characters without explanation of how they fit into the story and the "villian" of the plot just happened to show up without reason, was confronted and that was the end.

This is not a book I will reread, so it will be donated to the library.

I am still studying the Book of Hebrews. This is one book that will not be disappointing.

London Bridges and the book of Hebrews

I'm now reading London Bridges by James Patterson. It is the tenth adventure with character Alex Cross. It is an interesting read as all the other books of James Patterson have been.

As I was helping Jill get ready to bed, I heard Joel Osteen preaching (on TV) about Christians not being faithful to to set time aside in the mornings to read the Bible and spend time in prayer. I have been guilty of this because I have of the hours we are up taking care of Jill. I set my goal to get up an hour earlier than I have been in order to start my day off right - in prayer and Bible reading. I have chosen the book of Hebrews to study right now.

New Book

Since I finished The Stone Monkey I haven't started a new book, yet. I should have a new book coming from Zooba.com this week. If you haven't checked out Zooba.com, I would recommend it. The books cost $9.95 each and that includes postage. You have to buy at least one a month and are only obligated to buy a book for three months. They offer newly released books along with older books and have a wide variety of subject matter.

The Stone Monkey

I throughly enjoyed this Lincoln Rhyme mystery by Jeffery Deaver. Most people remember the movie The Bone Collector staring Denzel Washington as Lincoln Rhyme, the handicap detective. I don't know how many of Deaver's books use the same character, but the ones I have read have been great.

S is for Silence

Sue Grafton continues with the character Kinsey Millhone, crime solver. Another excellent book in this series. I think I have read all the books starting with A is for Alibi and always anxiously watch for the next one.

The Cat who had 60 Whiskers

The newest book in the cat series by Lilian Jackson Braun was a complete disappointment. It is hard to believe it was written by Ms Braun. There was no plot, what little mystery was in the book was never solved. The book just stopped.
I wished I had noticed that other readers has given the book only one star on Zooba.com.
