An excellent read. Well written, thought provoking, engaging.
Alternates between two narrative threads – one set in Virginia in the US, during and after the American civil war, and the other in the 1950’s as one of the characters retraces the path to his roots. Capturing the themes of conflict, oppression and ultimately resignation and reconciliation.
I felt that the author rushed the ending which was maybe a little too abrupt.
Unlike his peers Martin Hatchuel is all over the net but he is still difficult to find unless one is specifically looking for Martin Hatchuel
It was going to be long flight there and back.
So I stocked up with what I could find from Andy McNab and Chris Ryan. Books I can skim through. However I do worry that I should be looking for stuff that has a bit more substance to it. Chris Ryans work is readable although the tales are very much do and die.
Helps to pass the time.
I enjoyed this book by Rachel Kushner. She has a contemporary style of writing that is both honest as well as engaging.
The Mars Room is a strip Club and the story is an account of what it is like to be poor and a female and to be serving two life sentences in a correctional facility in America. Raw earthy and at times brutal. Worth reading, albeit in small chunks.
It is not one of those books you can’t put down.
Ruin Beach by Kate Rhodes is your stock standard, run of the mill ‘who dunnit’ crime novel.
A story set in a small island community, to pass the time by.
One in a series. Factual fiction set in third century Rome.
Interesting and an enjoyable read.
Nothing particularly outstanding about this book. I simply enjoyed reading it.
It is a short but a powerful story about the Partition of India in 1947. A smooth, comfortable, easy read. Yet evocative and at times horribly brutal.
Weaving the web for the Spiders.
Search engines use spiders to crawl the web looking for webs, that hold interesting and unique content. I can make beautiful and intricate webs for the spiders…..
I write because I enjoy it and particularly like taking complicated or mundane subjects and making them easily understood and somehow interesting. I have written for several years on the internet producing SEO articles. Length of copy varies from tiny tweets, comments on face book and small blogs of three hundred words to lengthy promotional articles of more than a thousand words.
Subjects range from international travel and hospitality, to finance, health, employment, property and so much more.
I write articles relating to original web content, and place them in ezine directories and link all of these together to create the spider pattern that the search engines love so passionately. This in turn raises the ranking of your website, bringing you traffic, making you money

This was one of the few books I have enjoyed reading recently. It is crime thriller and an easy captivating read.
