Here are my December 2017 Book Reviews.
Who In Hell Is Wanda Fuca? by G.M. Ford
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
It started off well, then became confusing. Had to will myself to finish it.
When an old gangster friend of Leo’s father makes a request he “can’t refuse,” Leo and his band of drunks, delve into the world of environmental politics in search of Caroline Nobel, a spoiled brat, without the sense God gave a gopher. With the help of “the Boys” — a group of aging winos who are his modern day “Baker Street Irregulars” — Leo fights Native American tribal politics, industrial pollution, and psychotic grannies to fulfill his obligation to a friend.
The Ship of the Dead by Rick Riordan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another great book by Riordan. Like the mixture of myths with the present day.
In the third book in Rick Riordan’s epic Norse mythology series, Magnus and his friends take a boat trip to the farthest borders of Jotunheim and Niflheim in pursuit of Asgard’s greatest threat. Life preservers are mandatory for this wet, wild, and wondrous adventure.
My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Started off ok, then dragged from there. Left questions unanswered. Also a book should never be advertised having as: A gripping psychological thriller with a shocking twist. That should only come from reviews or fellow authors.
‘Your husband didn’t kill himself.’
Five years rebuilding your life. Five words will destroy it again.
