Review from Rikers →
This book caught my attention because I love Law and Order SVU and they talk about Rikers all the time. I’d say their depiction is accurate, although not in depth. I appreciate honest accounts of people’s experiences. It was very enlightening.
This was a fascinating book (more science and personal journey) than running. The authors love and fascination with nature shines through in ever chapter. Not only did this book and its narrator keep me interested and entertained, I learned something in just about every chapter. I’m not a runner, but I do enjoy a morning..

SEXISTRIDICULOUS PLOTUNREALISTIC WITH NOTHING TO PONDERNOT IN THE LEAST BIT EXCITING NARRATOR DRABI kept thinking about my grocery list as this played. In this book you will immediately be introduced to the antagonist. Grey will immediately guess some ridiculous scenario and be correct. Women will be saved (even the poor poor weak female agents) and..
This book is the 6th installment in the Dan Stone / Assassin Series, and it is by far the darkest and deepest of the series. Scorpion gains speed quickly and doesn’t let up till the very end! This book also ties up many unresolved questions in the series, while leaving the door open for more…
Just a waste of time! Each persons account is a few sentences long. Almost viewed as conversations in passing. Just playing for background noise. No foundation to keep my attention.
