I have no idea why this book made the New York Times Bestseller list. The plot was very convoluted and didn’t come close to being plausible.

“Silent Partner” by Stephen Frey
Found Silent Partner by Stephen Frey on my bookshelf a couple of days ago. I think my Dad gave it to me last year after he read it. Read it in less than a day as it was an enjoyable thriller and wasn’t in the mood to do anything constructive. The story is about Angela Day who...

“The Spies of Warsaw” by Alan Furst
The Spies of Warsaw by Alan Furst was a good historical spy novel. I found out about the book from a New York Times travel section article. Since I regularly travel through Warsaw, I was interested to learn more about the city. While the novel mentioned places and streets in Warsaw it didn’t paint...

“The Last Patriot” by Brad Thor
The Last Patriot by Brad Thor is a by the numbers action thriller. I bought it at JFK to read while visiting my in-laws this summer. It was great bed time reading as I was jet lagged for the first couple of nights. The story was riveting and held my interest. I did have...

Krakow – Summer 2009
Ela and I drove to Krakow from Lubianka this summer. We took Route 1 basically straight down to Krakow. The traffic wasn’t bad except as we passed through Lodz. My only major complaint about Poland is that they need an efficient highway system that doesn’t stop you at traffic lights in urban centers. It was the...

District 9
I thought District 9 was an excellent science fiction movie. It was extremely well done and had moral implications. The plot is about an alien spaceship that lands in Johannesburg, South Africa 20 years ago from present day. The aliens are rescued and moved to a refugee camp outside the city. Now, it has...

Warehouse 13
SyFy’s new series “Warehouse 13” premiered on Tuesday. It wasn’t too bad for a low budget TV series. The plot is about two Secret Service agents (male & female) who recently saved the President’s life and are reassigned to a mysterious warehouse in the middle of nowhere in North Dakota. The agents soon learn...
