Book Review - A Little Hatred by Joe Abercrombie

 What a wonderful book. It was great being back in the world of The First Law. We met new characters, as well as seeing some of the older ones too. 

The story was fast paced. Lots of action. I found it hard to put down. The more I read, the more I enjoyed what I was reading. 

We had a few bloody battles. Very bloody battles. People fighting for their lives. Victories and losses.  A lot of losses. There were even a few humorous moments too. Almost laugh out loud moments. 

All in all, a great book. Looking forward to reading the rest of this series. I will also have to go back to the three books that are in between and finish those off.

One more note, these covers are awesome.

A Poem

 

A poem: WE HAVE ROTTWEILERS NOW ! 
 
My feet are covered with sores and marks.
My nerves are shattered from sudden barks.
My wallet's empty from paying the Vet,
and those Rotties are eating me into debt.
I sit down to rest in my favourite chair
And quick as a flash, the Rotties are there.
They've hauled off my shoes and chewed up my pipe,
But act so damned hurt, if I venture to gripe.
I rise in the morning, the new day to greet,
To find a Rottweiler standing firm on my feet.
I trip over another as I'm combing my hair,
While the puppy pulls hard at my underwear.
My fresh cup of coffee is now on the rug,
'Cause the bitch gave my arm a sweet playful tug.
I'd pour me another, but sure as can be,
The Rotties would dump it all over me.
Please believe me people, it's darn hard to write,
While my hand still hurts from that last loving bite.
The puppy is sneaking up in my lap,
While the one on my feet is down for a nap.
So to Hell with home life as it used to be,
And to Hell with quiet evenings with my family,
And to Hell with the money I'd spend anyhow!
Who needs them all......We've got Rottweilers now!!
