Interesting, but nothing much happens

Don't expect this to be a true crime series. The blurb leads you to believe this may be a murder investigation. It is not.
What S-Town is, is an in-depth look at a troubled man in rural Alabama, who desperately wants some attention and for someone to care about the same things as him. He sees things happening locally that he is not happy with and is struggling to do anything about it.
The documentary series is a well structured analysis of a man with a head full of knowledge and a heart of gold, but with so many internal issues that hold him back.
Interesting, for sure, but not what you might be led to expect.

David McK (3764 KP) rated Solo Command (Star Wars: X-Wing, #7) in Books

Jan 30, 2019

Released pre Episode I, the Star Wars: X-Wing books are, I believe, amongst the first EU ('Extended Universe') novels that do not focus on the main protaganists of the films as their central characters, taking instead LucasArts X-Wing/TIE fighter games of the 90s (as an aside - somebody really REALLY needs to re-make those for modern machines) as their inspiration.

This is the 7th book in the X-Wing series, and the 3rd to focus primarily on the activities of Wraith squadron, after both <i>Wraith Squadron</i> and <i>Iron Fist</i>. Unlike the previous novels in the series, this also includes a larger role for some of the characters from the original film series - the 'Solo' of the title actually refers to Han Solo, and not to Solo as in 'single'. As well, this also includes members of the first 4 X-Wings books (i.e. Rogue Squadron) in the story.

Blasted through this one in about 2 days flat.

ok... due to not knowing this was the 3rd in the series I was honestly confused on the characters most the time. The plot was good.. The characters were interesting, but coming into it late just confusing also. I do want to read the others though

Moving on to bigger things. Candace is now the govenor of New York. New crisis arise both in family and out. I absolutely love how Armstong weaves the relationships throughout this series. She shows life is not perfect but with love and compromise anything is possible.

First off I did not know this was a series. Second it stood fine alone but makes me need to read the first two since the characters were amazing! The action and tone of the story kept me up all night reading. More books to the pile.
