5 May 2008

for these past 4-5 months, after the A Levels, i decided that it's
time to switch to reading fiction books of other genres. to not be
confined to the usual genres that i read, namely, fantasy and
criminal.

so i moved on to thrillers and an occasion sci-fi when it is
incorporated into the trillers. and so far, i've read works of Jeffrey
Archer, Lee Child, Jeffery Deaver and Michael Crichton. with the
exception of Deaver, i've enjoyed the rest.

the first thriller book i read was State of Fear by Crichton. it was
super duper uber good. the theory of the book makes sense, and all the
figures are substantiated it was so cool. it's almost like a cross
between fiction and non-fiction.

then there was Next, also by Crichton. that was about medical ethics
and genetical modification. BTW, he wrote The Jurassic Park.

Child's books have the same character called Jack Reacher and he was a
military police. the way i imagine him, he is a tall guy, muscular
and all male. hee hee.

Archer's books are my favourite. i've only read 3 of his books, 2
short stories compilation and 1 novel, but i'm COMPLETELY hooked!
every of his short stories have an unexpected twist at the end and his
novel, Sons of Fortune is just fatabulous! now i'm reading another of
his novels, False Impression. it just brings me right into the story.
when the heroine is being pursued, my heart beats faster too! he's
such a gifted storyteller. i'm going to collect all his books!
MUAHAHAHA!

the synopsis of False Impression:

An old lady is brutually murdered the night before 9/11

A New York banker receives a woman's left ear in the morning post

A top notch lawyer works only for one client... but never charge a fee

A professional young woman steals a Van Gogh... but she isn't a thief

An Olympic gymnast is paid a million dollars... but has no bank
account

An honours graduate inherits a fortune... but works as a temp

A Japanese steel magnate gives $50 million to a woman he's only met
once

... and a senior FBI agent is trying to work out the connection
between these seven apparently innocent individuals.
