Niko’s teacher has been reading this book to the class, and last weekend, we saw the movie. This is the first time Niko has seen a movie based on a book, and he was impressed on how the movie portrayed some of the events from the book. I did tell him that books are always…
After I read the James Patterson autobiography in 2022, I was interested in seeing if I could into the Alex Cross books (as it’s not my preferred genre), and I was hooked after I read Along Came a Spider. Yeah, when I saw a new book in April of this year, I was ready and…
This book was referenced in the book I just read about Abe Saperstein, and I was intrigued. You may not know the name, but if I tell you Red Klotz was a player, coach, and owner of the Washington Generals, you will now know who he is. Red won championships in high school, college, his…
I have had this book in my Goodreads Want to Read list since August 31st when I saw a Tweet from @SprtBookReviews about it. I was immediately intrigued as in 2022, I read Spinning the Globe: The Rise, Fall, and Return to Greatness of the Harlem Globetrotters by Ben Green. So, I was already familiar…
As a reader, I am definitely on the Frederick Backman bandwagon as I have read most of his books. I like his style of writing. When I saw this book in my Kindle as something I might like, I was intrigued and threw it in my To Be Read list. A few minutes later, I…
I didn’t even know Moon wrote a book, until my wife sent me a text about it. I was definitely intrigued as I know she is Frank Zappa’s older daughter, and I sort of figured because of that, she must’ve had an interesting life. I will admit and tell you I gave this book two…
This is the first Spenser book written after Parker’s death. For his other books where other authors have continued his characters, I couldn’t tell a difference in the writing style. I guess that is good, and it was the same for this one. Spenser is hired by a 14 year old girl who needs his…
After I finished all the Jesse Stone and Sunny Randall books, also by Robert Parker (and others after he passed away in 2010), I started the first book in the Spenser series in January of 2024. Flash forward to today, and I have now read all the Spenser books that were written by Parker. All…
I got this book from Netgalley, so I can read and review it before it’s published. I am a fan of the NBA, but I will admit, that I have never heard of Michael Ray Richardson. So, when I saw this in the Netgalley catalog, I was intrigued and checked it out. Michael was a…
While I was waiting for Spenser, book number 36 at the library, also by Robert Parker, I decided to start another of his series. I have already read all the Jesse Stone and Sunny Randall books, and I like his style of writing. Appaloosa is a western town where the police Marshall has been shot…
