François finished reading 10th Anniversary (Women's Murder Club #10) by James Patterson
Last one for me. See previous comment. It is getting better in the "gimmicks" department, but not enough for me to continue with the series. Patterson is very prolific tho, so might give a try to some of his other series (Alex, etc). It's not bad, just what is called in French de la littérature de gare, ie something you buy to have soemthing to read on the train, and then discard it. This fits admirably the bill for any longish trip. Passes the time without racking your brain, and can safely forgotten the minute you step off the train, boat, plane or whatever,

François finished reading 9th Judgement (Womens Murder Club 9) by James Patterson
François finished reading 7th Heaven by James Patterson
Excellent - nice change from the previous. still some gimmicks but much less, and many twists. The best of the series so far. Ho, and if you wonder why I keep on reading those when obviously I don't like them that much, it's just that the action is set in the SF bay area. So reading is an opportunity to remember what the place looks like and the fun time I had there :-)

François finished reading The 5th Horseman (Women's Murder Club, #5) by James Patterson
Confirms what I was saying: pretty good criminal investigation, but structure is always the same. Not going to say anything not to spoil it but it's clearly a framework -always the same. It's not bad as such, but if you happen to read them all in sequence as I do, it is a bit tedious. Can't help thinking how ok, now is the time this happens. lets skim that and go back to the real stuff. Ho well. easy reading.

François reviewed Rock'n Roll in Stasi-land by Claude Schmit
Excellent livre
4 stars
Témoignage assez intéressant sur ce qu'était la vie en Allemagne de l'Est via le récit d'une vie d'échange entre deux amis. Lecture facile mais passionnante tout de même, notamment la reproduction du fichier STASI de l'auteur en fin d'ouvrage !!! Livré avec une URL avec les liens vers le rock DDR sur Internet. Ça vaut vraiment le coup d'être lu !!!
François rated Rock'n Roll in Stasi-land: 4 stars
