I put off reading this book because I thought the story line would be too sad, but it turned out to be wonderful story, and a truly unique perspective on life after death. I loved it!

I was enamored of Shayne, a vigilante type/djab.I think high school kids would be, too. He comes to town and begins to "take care of business". He even confesses to the police. And then he disappears. However, he has left his imprint and influence behind.

ChiRunning by Danny Dreyer (pp. 256) Hands down this may be one of the most useful books I’ve ever read. I’m not the best runner. I want to be a better runner. I’ve read a lot of content on running, but this was by far the most informative and instantly impactful to my comfort while running. The book defines it’s style of running as Chi Running using principles of Tai Chi versus the more commonly written about and taught ‘power running’. Describing running it can be daunting and boring, but Dreyer’s love and joy come through in the words. He teaches form in a very easy to understand way, provides a tool kit for self-analysis and ways to correct injury producing form errors. He provides ways to access recurrent injuries. Being taught how to release and relax muscles while running and how to use human body mechanics to run with the most efficiency and comfort is invaluable knowledge for any beginning or seasoned runner. Learning about cadence, beats per minute, and breath pacing and their impact on running are vocabulary and understanding that all runner should have. Dreyer’s ideas should be read by all high school track coaches so that shin splits, side stitches and knee injuries are minimized, but more importantly that people who hate running could find a lifelong love ability to do something that should come so easily to all people. Some sections can feel a little repetitive, but the information shared is worth any wordiness – especially since some of the body sense and mechanic information will help in areas far more reaching than just running.

An Entertaining Biography that Illuminates a Fascinating Time. I really enjoyed A Pirate of Exquisite Mind. I have always been drawn to historical biographies (Galileo’s Daughter, The Last Alchemist) and this tale of William Dampier a sometimes pirate and alltimes scientific observer really captivated me. I’m not too well versed in the time period covered by the book (the 1680 through 1714) so I found much to be surprised and entertained by. Descriptions of the wild and rough life on the fringes of European civilization contrasted well with the glimpse provided of little-touched or oftentimes completely unexplored islands in the Pacific. I was also interested in the depictions of the buccaneer culture, its social conventions and the consequences that result in disrupting that society. It was a fascinating time, Dampier was a very interesting character and A Pirate of Exquisite Mind was an enjoyable and enlightening book.

I was a bit disappointed in this book. Maybe because I picked it up under the advice of my 10 year-old's teacher as a book for him to read. I always meant to read it, so I picked up two copies so we could read it together. Yeah. He's not reading it any time soon. I think it contains too mature content for a 10 year old. Especieally mine. There was cussing in it, which was my first objection. My second was the tendency toward violence exhibited by the children...young children. I had expected more of an author who should be "seeking things of good report or praiseworthy" if you know what I mean. I mean, if you are seeking those things, shouldn't you aim to put them forth? My beef.

FBI Agent Jack Kenyon is a technological man with Renaissance ideals. In pursuit of enemy activists trying to steal a valuable US secret code which could destabilize the cyberworld, he’s badly wounded in the efforts, only to find that his assailant escaped. Then a family tragedy intrudes. His Aunt Lydia, actually an older sister in his adoptive family in the western US, dies in London and he is made executor. Scarcely does he arrive reluctantly than he is plunged into a wave of intrigue surrounding art fraud. Jack is nobody’s fool. More than one coincidence leads him to think that the cyberthreat is related. First, it becomes undeniable that his aunt was murdered in a crash made to look like an accident. Second, he thinks he glimpses on a London street the man at the centre of the code theft attempt. To complicate matters, there was a reason that his aunt carried a secret with her to her grave. When Jack discovers the truth, his world goes seismic. Just when he thinks that he’s made a valuable friend in an attractive lawyer helping him with probate, it turns out that she has something to cover up as well. Is he following a trail or being led into an assassination? Secret Combinations is a love letter to a city which inspired Johnson to say, “When one is tired of London, one is tired of life.” It’s fun to walk the streets with Kenyon as he delves into the sordid underbelly of the Big Smoke and dines that night at the Ritz: “Herringbone Gardens was a quiet side street just off Cromwell Road…. Lydia’s place was situated in a long row of Georgian townhouses. Each whitewashed, three story townhouse was fronted by black, wrought iron fencing and a twin set of pillars. Across the street, large Sycamore trees loomed over a well-manicured park.” But treachery lurks beneath the attractive exterior. Art aficionados will smile at the clever ruses and amusingly different motives of the world of high-traders in this multi-million dollar trade. Author Cope pulls out all the stops to whip this thriller at a Kentucky Derby pace. Until the last page, it’s a mystery who will pass the finish line first. Jack or his crafty nemesis. Here’s hoping that Kenyon has many more adventures in this risky but exciting world. He has the Bondian chops to handle any challenge with a smile.

I found the character names a little too cliche and it was distracting. I might have enjoyed better with more original names. Sorry.

2010 and before - 2/5 2016 - I think I must have been really harsh in my ratings a few years ago as I remember 'enjoying' these books as I was travelling to and from uni. Looking back I think I should have rated them a 3. 2016 - 4/5 - I really enjoyed this book this time around and can't wait until I get the next one. Rats, mutant rats are swarming around London, killing anyone or anything which gets in their way. Can a small bunch of men find their lair and destroy them.

Sherlock Holmes and the Zombie Affair is a clever tale by Philip van Wulven that does not disappoint! A delightfully witty read, as a reader, I thoroughly enjoyed tagging along with Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson on their latest adventure. I commend van Wulven on his use of tone and language to capture the style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. A must read for fans of Sherlock Holmes!
