Black Sheep

Hahaha, I am seriously obsessed with mystery/thriller novels. Hm, it's been a while since I've posted a blog entry, but that's because school had surrounded me completely. Anyways, back to the topic at hand. Black Sheep is a mystery/thriller novel by Arlene Hunt. It's an amazing novel, really. It's got a lot of suspense which starts from the first few chapters when a girl's body is found. The basic plot of the novel is that a man by the name of David Reid has been found drowned in a canal. Most people, such as the police, are considering it an "accident". Not the victim's brother however. James Reid believes his brother was murdered, therefore he hires the help of QuicK Investigations, which include Sarah Kenny and John Quigley, in order to uncover what really happened to David Reid. Along the way of their investigation, the private detectives uncover a lot of different things that contributed to the ultimate death of David Reid. And yes, the body of the dead girl is also one of them. Taking place in Dublin, Ireland, the grammar of the novel is a tad bit different, although I found it rather amusing. Anyways, the novel was quite a thrilling one. I admit I'm a sucker for mystery novels, but the thing that I loved most about this one were its characters. The characters were written in such a nice way that you simply take a strong liking to them. Overall, I really liked the novel, and if you like what you see up there, I'm sure you will too.

The Promised Land

The novel The Promised Land by David Hewson is a rather awesome novel. Before reading the novel, I read a few reviews of it online, and most people trashed the book pretty badly, calling it things such as a "B grade movie". That obviously made me not want to read it, but I did so in the end anyway. No matter what grade of a movie the novel was compared to, or how many cliches it had, I loved it. The novel itself is a mistery/thriller. Drug dealers, murder, all of that good stuff thrown together obviously makes the end product of a novel into a cliche, but despite all of this, I thouroughly enjoyed it. The novel deals with the main character, ex-cop Bierce who has been charged and found guilty of the two brutal murders of his own son and wife, which he doesn't even remember due to memory loss. At the last minute of his execution, he is magically taken out of the prison and is let go to live the rest of his life. From there on, his adventure starts where he embarks on a journey with a young female by the name of Alice to unravel the events of that fateful day. Pretty awesome isn't it? Yeah, that's what I thought. It's full of cliches and all of that stuff, but really, who cares? I liked it, and that's all that matters. Btw.. if you liked the summary, you should check it out!

The Beauty of Bikes

Who doesn't love bikes? Only those that can't ride them, that's who, lol. I personally love bikes and biking itself. It's just so awesome. If you don't have your driver's license yet, then you ought to go biking instead. Besides, biking is so much more fun. You can feel the wind going through your hair at full speed, and that just feels so good. True they don't go too fast, but they can go at a pretty fast speed. And anyways, going too fast can be dangerous. Now the thing that fascinates me about bikes is that they work on two wheels only. It's rather interesting, the way gravity works, I suppose. The downside, you could say, about bikes is the learning part. It's the most nerve wracking part ever, because learning how to bike is just so darn hard. I remember when I was learning how to bike, and when I finally did learn, it was the best freaking feeling ever. It's definitely worth it in the end.
