You may be asking yourself, "Why should I listen to a random guy who I don't even know as to what books I should read?" Good question. (If you asked my wife, she would probably say you shouldn't. She stopped listening to me a long time ago, but I digress.) Anyway, here's the answer, because I'm just like you. I've been married for just short of an eternity. I have a couple of kids, a job, and a bunch of bills. I love sports, booze, swearing, hanging out with the fellas, and reading. I read a lot. I read at lunch, I read on the throne, I read every night in bed before drifting off to a fitful sleep (Why am I reading as opposed to doing something a little bit more cardio intensive in bed before going to sleep? See above.) Anyway, I've been building my library for a few years now and have over 270 volumes in it. I'll be posting a couple of reviews a week (in theory). I'll start with some of my favorites from the past and add new books as I finish them. Read the reviews, buy the books, and enjoy!

Deliver Us from Evil by David Baldacci

I have read several of Baldacci's works before and they have always been entertaining. This, however, is his best work to date. You have a sick, twisted, former commie, super bad guy. Not one, but two sets of good guys. A little sex, a good amount of violence, some sadism, interesting locales. Good times….

Now be advised, our main hero (like I said, we have two sets here) is another one of those ‘I’m the baddest man walking the face of the earth’ types. And our heroine (from the other camp) is hot, tiny, and can kick everyone’s ass too. So, as usual, suspended disbelief will help.

This book has a bunch of unexpected plot twists that keep you guessing until the end. A thoroughly enjoyable read. So says…
