Review: All Through The Night by Suzanne Brockman

All Through the Night (Troubleshooters, Book 12)
by

I listened to this book in audio. I just don’t have much time to sit and spend time with books. Thank goodness for audio huh? Michael Holland (Reader) is fantastic! I don’t have to pause and wonder who’s talking in the book because he has voice variety. Unlike Patrick Lawlor and Melanie Ewbank (Readers) from Force of Nature. I’m sure the story is great because Suzanne Brockman does not write boring story, but these readers? They just about drive me up the wall. The narrating voice and the dialogue voice are the same uninteresting, no intonation or any sort of variety at all. Now I know a great book can actually be boring with horrible readers.

Michael Holland is fantastic. He does Robin and Jules voice perfectly. He does Alyssa and Sam’s voice wonderfully. All Though the Night is a book about Jules Cassidy and the love of his life, Robin Chadwick. Finally, Jules get his happy ending. I have nothing against gay people. In fact, most of the gay people I met are wonderful. This book is clearly pro-gay. Suzanne’s son is also gay. After reading this book, I know that Boston, Massachussetts is the place to get married.

You have to read the book to find out. Troubleshooters series is a wonderful book series. I think my favorite is still Sam and Alyssa. You can buy All Through the Night here.

At first, I was a little upset that my blog is only elementary level. But then, I looked closely. This rating is for the level of education required to understand my blog. I can get a lot of people to understand my blog.

So, I’m happy to be elementary. I’m cool with that.

I took this picture while driving to another library. I hoard books, and I don’t mind driving for it. Even in rush hour traffic, I’ll brave it to get the book I want. This is such a day when I took this picture with my cell phone camera. I like the color of the clouds, but I really wanted you to see the details I have managed to catch on accident. The traffic lights, the construction warning devices, the tower that holds the shopping center’s sign, parked cards, and if you look very closely, you can spy a gas station sign. It’s…guess what?

Writing guides, grammar books, punctuation how-tos . . . do you read them? Not read them? How many writing books, grammar books, dictionaries–if any–do you have in your library?

I don’t know that I’ve read any of them except for school use, you know, right before a term paper, or research paper or thesis is due. I do own a whole bunch of them because it was on sale at a library book sale and I thought they look cute. In the back of my head, I was thinking I’ll read them, soon. Haven’t gotten to it yet. Still, I’m thinking that if I want to, I have it on hand already.

Update on Spring Reading Challenge

May 7, 2008 Author: Serendipity | Filed under: books

I have been reading, but I’m not so good at reviewing books I’ve finished reading. I need to start because I think it’s fun. I just get very self conscious. I have read halfway through my list. Actually, I only have to finish 1.5 more books and I’ll be done with my Challenge.

I’ve finished these books…and I need to write a review on them…soon. Yeah, I am/still am on Tara Janzen binge.
