Well, if you haven't looked at the comments of my previous blog entry, please go there now. I was shocked but pleased to have a comment from Martin Baker in my previous blog. In hindsight, I'm rather glad I didn't say anything rude about his novel!
Anyway, will get onto my next review later, but for now, a brief update on my doings. Had another lovely weekend at home, slightly less full on than the previous one, but still managed to fit in a few warm up beers in the Packet house on friday, some shopping and getting my car MOT'd on saturday, as well as watching the 6 nations, and a nice meal in with Miche. Sunday was a drive over to wilmslow, a walk around Quarry Bank Mill, and sunday lunch with my rugby bitches ;-)
Talking of MOTs, less than impressed with kwik fit, who phoned me to tell me that my car had failed its MOT - which was fine, until they told me it was because it needed a new cat. I'm normally a fairly mild mannered kind of guy, but given that the self same garage had fitted a new one not 7 months ago, I felt obliged to have a whinge. They fixed it under warranty, but still, the last one lasted 8.5 years, the one KF fitted lasted 7 months. YOu can't get sh***er than a kwik fit fitter.
So to book reviews. On my way back home I finished off Run, by Jeff Abbott, I didn't have particularly high hopes for this, just thought it would be a bog standard run of hte mill type of thriller, and as it started, thats pretty much what I thought I was getting, but like any good runner, it was paced to perfection, accelerating brilliantly towards the end, and with a conclusion that actually sent a shiver down my spine, and left me almost breathless. I love it when books do that to you. Top marks to Jeff Abbott. I'll be looking for more of his to read soon.
anyway, off now for some food, and an early night, my 4.30am start it beginning to catch up with me.
