The Nice Guys: The Official Movie Novelization by Charles Ardai
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
It’s easy language and the story flows in a straightforward way, but what I enjoyed most was getting more depth out of the lead characters that wasn’t presented in the film.
A great addition to a really hilarious film that’s begging for a sequel!
The Black Dahlia by James Ellroy
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I loved the tale of this unsolved mystery. James Ellroy does an amazing job of bring to life 1940’s Los Angeles, making no pretense of the gritty underbelly along with the seedy police and political situations. I enjoyed this book, and got to a point where I couldn’t it down until I knew who had killed the Black Dahlia.
God Emperor of Dune by Frank Herbert
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Having never read this far into the Dune sequence before, I was hooked and intrigued and desperate to know where this story line was leading.
Philosophically challenging, beautifully written, and deeply meaningful, the world of Dune echoes through the decades.
I was strangely disappointed with the ending though, and determine that reading further along into the following books that continue the story, may correct my sense of ‘what just happened here?’ that came with the final denouement to this book.
