Book Review - The Crew by Sadir S. Samir

 So, where to start. How about the good and the not so good?

The good: fast paced, likeable characters, good story, intense climax, satisfying ending

The not so good: main character a bit childish

I did enjoy this book. The story was fast paced. As you can see, the good outweighed the not so good. The climax  was intense. Lots of action. The ending, was oh so satisfying. We got a bit of a happy ending. Yay! A rare thing is a fantasy. 

Extra good, the main character changed from what he was like at the beginning. I was glad to see him growing up & not being so childish. 

I'll give the book 4 *'s. It earned it. It took me a lot longer to read than it should have. That is on me. My bad. The last half of the book moved faster than the first half, making me want to read it more. 

Should you read this book? Yes. If you want to be entertained, you should definitely read this. You'll enjoy it. Oh & the cover. It's great. I always seem to enjoy a book that has a great cover.

Thanks to the author for a copy of it. Much appreciated. 

Book Review - The Big Bundle by Max Allan Collins

 I give this book 3.5 *'s. Why? It started off with a fast pace. The story was good, with good characters. What I didn't know was that this book was loosely based on some factual events. That's fine and all.  I don't mind a good historical fiction. 

What I didn't enjoy was the second half of the book. I found it a bit slow. The story lost is fast pacing. It seemed like it was dragging. I struggled to continue reading it. 

I'm glad I did finish it. Overall, I did  enjoy the story. Will I read more from Nate Heller? Not sure on that. Maybe, maybe not. I do still enjoy the Hard Case Crime books. Every so often, I do read one that I do not enjoy one. 

I thank Hard Case Crime for the opportunity again to read an ARC. I do hope that I get more of those. 

If you like Nate Heller, you'll enjoy this one.
