![]() ![]() I enjoyed it and was disappointed when it ended as Connelly is terrific at arranging words on the page to keep you intrigued. It’s a pretty straightforward courtroom thriller with a law enforcement conspiracy thrown in for good measure (yawn – when will we see the end of the ‘good guy is actually the bad guy’ endings?). Mickey takes on a case defending a man accused of killing a prostitute, who herself was a former client of Mickey’s. ![]() ![]() This is the latest in the Mickey Haller series (keep an eye out for a cameo from Harry Bosch). ![]() Michael Connelly is one of those writers you can always rely on (with a rare exception or two) to produce a book that you don’t regret picking up.

IMAGINATION JUST BECAME OUR GREATEST WEAPON. ![]() ![]() There’s a quite a bit of unpleasantness not to mention brutality to prison life. The historical setting was utilized well rather than simply being some nice window-dressing. As a big fan of HBO’s Oz as well as anything set in prison, I really liked the way everything was depicted. It was really, really well-done as well as incredibly hard to put down. Review: This novella was not at all what I was expecting, and I mean that in the best possible sense. And protection is just what Gabriel MacKenna offers. Facing eighteen years behind Wentworth’s towering gates, Joey cannot hope to survive without protection. Trained at Oxford as a physician, the young doctor is innocent of prison culture and too handsome for his own good. ![]() Every convict claims imprisonment through a miscarriage of justice, but Joey is truly blameless. To survive endless days without the touch of another human being…įive years after Gabriel’s incarceration, Joey Cooper arrives at Wentworth. ![]() And life is a very long time to endure Wentworth with no comforts but prison food, card games and cigarettes. ![]() But Gabriel, saved from the noose by a social crusader, is serving two life sentences. Tough, smart, and ruthless in a fight, he quickly makes a name for himself inside. When Gabriel MacKenna enters Wentworth Prison in 1931, he promises himself two things: never to be buggered and never to turn prison queer. Why did I read it: Another great premise that I couldn’t resist. How did I get it: I was sent a review copy by the author. ![]() ![]() I actually hoped it would be Hunter, but what can you do? His love interest, Sabrina, has a difficult past with Dean, but the more I read about her, the more I really liked her.Īnd If I have to give this book one compliment it would be that this book really embraces female sexuality. I’m not going to lie Tucker was never a favorite side-character of mine, so I wasn’t ecstatic to learn he would get his own book. All of the hockey stars we’ve read about in the previous three books have partnered up, and now it’s Tucker’s turn. The boys’ hockey team isn’t doing so well on the ice, but all the girls continue to throw themselves at the players, regardless. Therefore, we already knew the “big surprise” which I think really took away from the reading experience. This book is about events going on behind the scenes of The Score until about the half way point. ![]() We are thrust (hehe) back into the world that is Briar University. ![]() ![]() Scholars believe, and we concur, that this work is important enough to be preserved, reproduced, and made generally available to the public. ![]() Within the United States, you may freely copy and distribute this work, as no entity (individual or corporate) has a copyright on the body of the work.Īs a reproduction of a historical artifact, this work may contain missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. This work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

They were bound up in the bundle of life. They ‘kept themselves respectable’- kept the aspidistra flying. They had their standards, their inviolable points of honour. The money-code as they interpreted it was not merely cynical and hoggish. The lower-middle-class people in there, behind their lace curtains, with their children and their scraps of furniture and their aspidistras - they lived by the money-code, sure enough, and yet they contrived to keep their decency. Our civilization is founded on greed and fear, but in the lives of common men the greed and fear are mysteriously transmuted into something nobler. ![]() It mightn’t be a bad thing, if you could manage it, to feel yourself one of them, one of the ruck of men. ![]() ![]() And if they did, what would they care?

Bruises and welts covered me: all the marks of a defiant slave. The friction blisters on my left ankle were swollen, infected, and oozing.
