we aim to please, although I will say that I wish that I had
the luxury of time to go into more detail. the truth is, I've
read every single one of Connelly's books exactly once each.
I started in 2000, so read his first 8 books pretty much one
right after the other that year. they were that good. the
others I picked up when they came out, in hard cover if I was
flush. in paper if I was having a bad year.
all my impressions are based on my recollection
of how I felt about each book when I finished it. in general,
Connelly's books are difficult to put down, so I'd read them
pretty quick. but sometimes my life circumstances would
relegate my reading time to a chapter or two before turning
out the light, sometimes skipping days. not the best way to
appreciate a book. I'd like to go back and take a second look
at the ones that impressed me least when I have the time and
see how I feel about them. and also, if I feel a certain book
is disappointing to me in any way, it is because the author
has set a very, very high bar with me
Connelly has an excellent official website, which I used as a
resource. I did pull a couple of the books off my shelf if I
wanted to make specific points. I will also say that Google
is my friend
