Listened to audiobook. New narrator, which took a while to get used to.
This one takes the dialects of Midworld to a new level, which also took some getting used to.
However, the book is superb.

If you're looking for a how-to, probably not the book for you. However, gives an interesting insight into how Harris transformed (and is still transforming) his life. Lots of good information, and it's told in an engaging, approachable, and pretty funny style.

Much more to this story than the others, building on the world that has been established. And a lot more happens.

Much tighter plot than The Gunslinger.
The audiobook version is excellent

I thought I had read this in high school. If I did, I apparently forgot large sections of the plot. The first King novel I've read in a very long time.

Similar to the Bosch stories, but different enough to be interesting. I'm hoping she just doens't turn out to be a younger, female Bosch.
Not the best, but still very good.

This entire series is amazing.
I listened to the audio books and Robin Miles is superb.
Took me a bit to get into the first one, but I loved the world-building, character development, and the originality of the entire series.
Incredible, going directly to the third
I like this retired Bosch, honestly. Character is mainly the same, but some good changes.

I really enjoyed this one. I was concerned it was going to be similar in plot to The Lincoln Lawyer but, while there are similarities, it's drastically different.
I enjoyed the false hints put forward, and how most (but not all) things are wrapped up nicely. These details - showing how the characters make mistakes, and causing you to make them, too - shows the talent Connelly has.
The appearance of Bosch, shown from Haller's point of view, is a lot of fun, too.

The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution is a 1938 book by …
I knew very little about L'Ouverture going into this book, and learned a lot. The writing was engaging, and the information was very interesting.
The author is obviously biased toward the enslaved populace fighting for freedom but, honestly, how else should one be biased?
There are a few instances of racism in the book, attitudes about how "savage" the enslaved people were, etc.
Still, I highly recommend this. 4.5 stars, rounded up
