Here, found the trailer. Looks as poor as I remember it to be.
I think I'll stick with the written word, Lee Marvin notwithstanding. Thanks for digging that up, though!
Great book..ive read it several times and just love it.
'bout half-way through, really enjoying it.
Just started it and enjoying it a lot. Not enjoying carrying the massive thing to work in my Man bag though!
Yes, I got that one recently too. A lot of spy thrillers in the same red leather-bound editions for 50p a pop. Will look magnificent on bookshelf! I'm very cultured, don't you know?! :)
Jealous. Mine was just a Kindle deal of the day.
Gorky Park is, incidentally, one of the very few books my parents decided to hide when I hit the stage of randomly reading anything in the house, and I can see why.
Goodness. It must be pretty graphic then!
It's a great read my friend. I thoroughly enjoyed it! :-bd
My parents' bookshelves were pretty light on anything too penny-dreadful, to be fair. But yes, yes it is, certainly at the start.
I've always meant to read it at some point so owning a nice copy of it will be a good start in that direction.
First book by this young woman.
Bit of a slog, but I like reading authors fictional takes on the gruesome mystery-horror that were the Ripper murders.
Last one I read, "I Ripper" was a real ripper of a read!
This tale is not as gripping but still intriguing.
Probably because they are non-Bond and non-fiction, even if I did diligently hunt down all the Fleming Bond titles as an adolescent.
I did read "007 in New York"
Will have to grab those books soon. It is time.

Meanwhile in Whitechapel,
Amazing how a well penned back-cover blurb can
demand that a book be read!
'He murdered women in cold blood.
He terrorized an entire city.
He taunted those of us who hunted him down.
But despite all these horrors, in the end, I could not deny it.....
I WAS THE GIRL WHO LOVED
THE RIPPER
:-O
OK, I'm hooked. Bring it on! Back to Whitechapel we go!
Chuck Wendig continues his story from STAR WARS: AFTERMATH with this middle part of his trilogy. Seemingly having taken into account the many criticisms his writings have had to endure with the release of part 1, the prose in LIFE DEBT is a lot stronger than before.
And the plot thickens. The post-Endor status quo seems quite unstable for both the New Republic and the Imperial Remnants. We team up with our heroes from the last novel but run into Han, Leia and Chewie too. Quite frequently I might add. We encounter characters from THE FORCE AWAKENS and build some tension around the future of Admiral Sloane, a character from STAR WARS REBELS and two previous books in the new canon.
Chuck Wendig is no Timothy Zahn and AFTERMATH, so far, proves no competition for Zahn's HEIR TO THE EMPIRE novels, now exiled to the 'Legends' label. But I blew through the last 380 pages in one day and am now most eager to move on to the final part, so I guess I really like where this thing is going.
3/5
Castle Rock tourist board have their work cut-out. :))
That's a great book. Read it in one sitting which is almost unheard of for me!
Firestarter is also a fantastic novel. I think this period was King at his best.
Although Pet Semetary is my favourite.
This whole series is actually really well written through real historical facts and gives an insight in the hypocrisy of the Nazis as well as the allied forces post WWII.
Having a big King re-read at the mo - though am reading other stuff every so often. Next up will be Bachman's The Running Man. Great book, piss-poor film
Written by James Sprenger and Henry Kramer in 1486.
Finished Ripper book. Ripper again caught and destroyed. Whew!
Last year I was voraciously consuming his 21st Century novels on audiobook while chronologically reading through his debut novels in paperback. At the moment, however, I'm thinking of jumping ahead to IT for obvious reasons.
