A book review of “Oasis (The Last Humans Book 1)” by Dima Zales The beginning of Oasis: The Last Humans starts quite abruptly with Theo, the main character, talking to his “delusion”, a voice named Pheo that nobody else hears. What she says makes Theo realise that there are things …
A book review of ‘Zero Day’ by David Baldacci The latest offering from David Baldacci is Zero Day. The novel boasts the introduction of a new character: John Puller, which is always exciting as character creation is one Baldacci’s biggest talents. He has created some pure gems in the past …
A book review of ‘The Rainmaker’ by John Grisham I thought I was getting used to John Grisham having read most of his novels, until I picked this one up. The novel has an almost stagnant start, where everything seems to go wrong, all at once, to Rudy Baylor – …
A while ago I wrote about one of my favourite David Baldacci Novels, Wish You Well (you can read the “Wish you Well” review here). I really enjoyed the book, it is my clear Baldacci favourite, and one my favourite novels of the year. Well, recently Baldacci announced that he …

A book review of “The Camel Club” by David Baldacci I just recently finished reading The Camel Club by David Baldacci, which is the prequel to The Collectors. Even though I enjoyed the book quite a bit, and got through it pretty quickly, it just didn’t seem to have that …
I’ve enjoyed some of Lee Child’s novels. Child created a character who features in about sixteen of his novels. That character is Jack Reacher; a mountain of a man standing at 6 ft 5. He is a former military man who drifts around the country, inevitably coming across some injustice …
