Very few of the books in print today (even some of the best sellers on the NYT list) can claim to be so nail bitingly, sweat inducing-ly, heart pulsing-ly good as the few handful of books written by now-famous fiction author Michael Connelly (http://www.michaelconnelly.com/). From page 1 to the finish line, his praise-worthy verbiage manages to keep one engrossed despite homework, family, dinner—even a trip to the water closet. Although not much of a fan of fiction (give me a history book that talks of “real” events over the made-up world of fiction any day), I found Connelly interesting for many reasons, including but not limited to:
- intricate/imaginative plots
- well developed characters
- powerful visualizations
- non-stop action
- good GRE words (for all the future GRE takers out there, like me!)
- a quality loosely termed as ‘rock and roll’
Basically Connelly’s books make for undeniably good reads. Recommended for those who want some metal yoga, just sit in a warm, cozy comfortable place and enjoy!
My top picks (to be read in order):
- Black Ice
- The Last Coyote
- Lincoln Lawyer
- The Brass Verdict
Worth-the-price-tag-iness Score: 10/10
