The Review for "11th Hour" By James Patterson

Well considering everything that's going on for James Patterson, a new show on the horizon based on the Private series (for whom I'm hoping that Jeffrey Donovan (Burn Notice) will get the lead part in the series, considering that's who I picture playing the main character Jack Morgan), and new books coming out just about all the time, there's no stopping this guy any time soon.
 
And with 11th Hour it doesn't stop any time soon, after all with everything that's going on you've just got to include murder right at the top of the list. Lindsay Boxer and company are back only this time the stakes are higher (as they always are, but then again it's never going to be calm once, except for maybe between the books, but we don't read about those points). However normally the three case format has been dropped down to two cases for this book. Plus to top things off, Lindsay is pregnant with her first child and her emotions are going through the royal ringer as she goes through two different cases. Case 1) The discovery of two severed heads that leads to an entire back yard garden loaded with them. Case 2) a cop gone rogue and the answers are leading to places that she doesn't want to go to at all.
 
Now to be totally honest I really had no idea what in the world to expect when it came to this book and usually when it comes to books or shows or movies that have 11th Hour in the title, it's usually something other worldly that the whole things deals around. Not this time however as I discovered reading through the book, this time it was dealing with not just the two cases, but also a reporter that basically not only wanted to be a pest, but also wanted to usurp Cindy's role in the book, but not in a good way either. I seriously couldn't put this book down, but of course at times I knew that I had to, it was captivating from the word go, and just wouldn't let go like a pit bull that once it gets ahold of you it just wont let go.
 
In all honesty, if they ever bring back the Women's Murder Club as a television series, this would be one of the best things that they could do. I mean same actors as before, and this time having the whole premise of one season long mystery along with single episode crimes that need to be solved, along with all of the person drama as well, it was great, however the only thing that really killed that series was the Writer's Strike that took place during that year. As you can see by the photos above, that's who I'm constantly picturing for each of the parts for the series. Trust me, Patterson did it again with this latest book.

Some up coming things

Well I know that the only thing that I posted here all week was just dealing with the Avengers movie, but believe me I do have things coming, as well as more coming on the political blog as well.
 
However for this one in the mean time, I've got two things that are going to be incoming, though one of them is for their own blog, while the other is a book that I'm currently reading right now to give you a review on. Both of these are going to be something to look forward to in the coming time.
 
The new blog that I'm working on is one that will be taking place 6 years after the first one started, it's called Ninja Chronicles: The Return, and will be featuring several new characters that some might actually think I based on them (if they read it that is, I did base at least two of the characters on a couple of people, but that's as far as I went at the time when I did create this side of that world). However these characters I will not reveal the names of nor what they're going to be doing, or how Ninja meets up with them, but suffice it to say that when they get into the action, this is one series that I'm not going to be able to submit to anyone since there's going to be some things that I don't want to get in trouble for using in my story. However I will tell you this, this new series will explain as to why his world hated him so much that they were willing to kill him and drove him from that world in the first place, and that answer will solve quite a few things.
 
Now when it comes to the book that I'm currently reading right now, I'm reading the new James Patterson book 11th Hour, the latest book in the Women's Murder Club series, and I've got to say that it's going great here, and you'll love the review that I happen to give it (yeah I know that I'm teasing you with the picture of the book above, but it's well worth it). Patterson does have more books coming out within this year, including the stunning conclusion to the Maximum Ride series that even I'm looking forward to myself. However I'm half-way through this book, and I'll be letting you all know how it is once I'm finished.
 
Speaking of upcoming books, while I've got the cover up there for one, I can't get the cover for the other one that I'm waiting for. Robert Jordan's last book will be coming out in January and Tor has released what the cover of the book for "A Memory of Light", and it's one that fans (myself included) are dearly looking forward to, because in this book everything is coming to a head and The Final Battle has arrived at long last, the only question that remains is, all of the visions of the future that we've all been seeing of the distant future, will they come true, or will the future be changed for the better. Only one way to find out, gonna have to read it when the time comes in January. The other book is the latest from Terry Goodkind, the New York Times best selling author of the Sword of Truth series, inlcuding both "Law of Nines" and "The Oman Machine" which actually were both directly related to the Sword of Truth series in ways that no one would ever think of. Personally I can't wait till Goodkind's next book comes out, and I will read it and review it for you all.
 
However that's what's been going on and what everyone has to look forward to in the coming time. Till then, it's summer (almost) and I'll be coming up with a summer book reading list that you can check out, ones that they never tell you about when it comes GMA or any of those morning shows. So get ready it's going to be very interesting.

AVENGERS ASSEMBLE!!!!

Now I know that I said that I was going to get this written up yesterday, but the high that I've had from watching the movie even now still hasn't ended in the least right now, and I'll tell you all this, if I had the money I'd be going to see it several times right now it was that great.
 
Now mind you the best way to see this movie is in 3-D, because other wise you lose something with the 2-D, namely all of the action is just gone with the 2-D unlike the 3-D that you keep it with.
 
Well with this movie, it not only is the first of it's kind where it takes several different characters coming from they're own movie franchises, but combines them up into one giant movie and never stops even there. This is one movie that just takes it right to the hilt and just doesn't stop in the least, plus it shows us a full Marvel world that is only going to get bigger. Now I know that I've said this before, but DC and Warner could learn from this since they were the ones that were constantly saying that something like this just wouldn't work, well this weekend with a 2.8 million opening is shattering records and it continues to do so and it's being estimating that this could be the first movie that actually breaks the billion mark on ticket sales.
 
From the different characters that are in this movie, Captain America, Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor, Hawk Eye, and Black Widow, I do that Cap, Iron Man and Thor will be getting more movies coming out, that and there will be another Avengers movie. In all seriousness this is one movie that you really should go see, it's got action and humor galore, and it's the one movie that you see that's an action movie that actually for once proves the old adage wrong, you don't need sex to sell a movie, after all there wasn't one bit of any kind of sex at all in this entire movie (unless you want to count Black Widows costumes, but she never takes them off, so that's kind of hard to count right there).
 
Just check the movie for your self, and stick around for after the end 3-D credits (before it goes over to 2-D again), and you'll get a very famous Marvel surprise waiting at the end of the movie.

The photos to the Tribal protest

Well I did say that I would have the photos for that report once I could be able to get them off of my phone, and I've been able to do just that, As you can see by the various shots that were taken from right in front of the Federal Court house, these people weren't happy at all, and I honestly don't blame them in the least considering everything that happened and is more than likely still happening over there right now.
 
I mean I honestly believe that they really do need someone from the out side, and not one that happens to be from the Feds either (and Feds goes for anyone that happens to be from the Federal Government doesn't matter where they happen to work either). They do honestly need help when it comes to getting things worked out for the best here and that's a fact.
