Starting with letting the police manipulate him (come one, this can't be your first interrogation room! I wasn't even fooled by the stupid police ploys and I'm not a hardened criminal!). For a guy who is used to working with some pretty shady people and has to watch his back, Danny is one careless mo-fo. My issues with this one started pretty much right out the gate. I am one of the few that didn't love this book. Perhaps take my review with a grain of salt then. That is a crazy high rating from a group of very discerning people ( yes I'm talking about you, friends!). This book has a 4.41 rating with my Goodreads friends. This has been on my to-read list forever! I just didn't connect with the characters. I can't believe I'm DNFing this one at 60%.

Is he, as her friends suggest, preparing for a divorce? Just in case, Kat decides it's time to start saving. But when she discovers that her husband, Griff, has been hiding a secret bank account, her joyful consumerism suddenly loses its appeal. Living in New Jersey - the state that boasts the most malls per capita - Kat's favorite recreational activity is a no-brainer: shopping.

Ijeoma Oluo ( / i ˈ dʒ oʊ m ə oʊ ˈ l uː oʊ/ born 1980) is an American writer. In his record of event Gregory exposes himself more personally than in his enunciation of Orthodox belief -his passion for peace, his curious, observing writer's eye, his appreciation of a queer sort of humor in Sichar's drunken talk of the value of wergeld, which like Clovis's gilded armlets reveals the rare tone that mocks Germanic society's pious and important cliches. Sichar and Chramnesind (in a passage recently made more famous by its use in Erich Auerbach's Mimesis) act out the drama of blood-feud and wergeld. Here the poor, in famine, sell their freedom, the merchant goes towards Orleans to buy wine, the witch Bees to the wicked queen Fredegundis, and punishment follows crime.

Blood's mentioned a lot, and bloody injuries are also described in some detail. There's a lot of violence in this swashbuckling adventure, mostly from fighting with weapons like swords and knives, with some detailed descriptions and gore, including a skull split halfway by an axe. I never got past the third chapter of the first 'Game of Thrones' book, I listened to a sample of 'Half A King' found it well-written and narrated and decided to give it try. But here the fantasy mostly stems from the imagined, medieval, Nordic-style society and geography magic and sorcery don't appear at all.
