Freddie bought me another one from Netherlands, not by Peter. Karin Slaughter is one of the most famous thriller authors in United States. A lot of her books end up on the best-selling charts always in no time. However, nothing against ladies, sometimes these crime-solving fictions written by lady authors (e.g. Patricia Cornwell) are a bit too dramatic for my taste. However, I have decided to give Karin a try, as it is a book (as a gift) bought by my good friend. Oh, the title of the book is Triptych. I have only finished about 40 pages out of 500+. Still a long way to go. At the beginning it wasn't at all that bad (as I would expect). One thing I realize the difference of style between Peter (as an Englishman) and Karin (as an US woman) is that there are more F's and S's in her book. (Note: I don't think I have seen that many in Peter's series that can grab my attention. You can argue in real life maybe that is the case, but for me, that might be a bit too much (in about 10 pages, I think I have spot about 20+ Fs).Anyway, put that aside, it is still an interesting book. It is about serial killing, and how one detective and one agent (whom by the way hating each other) are going to solve it together. We'll see if this book really worths Freddie's money. No matter what, I thank him for that. At least he knows I really love this kind of crappy fictions.

Well English Man might use words like "Bollocks" (testicles) instead huh. But with too many F and S in a book really make me sick though... some times they might need this words to complete a sentence, where they can't think of a more suitable word. F*** I personlly think have the most meanings of a single 4 letter word.
Well... not into Thriller. The Books I read mostly on Current/Foreign Affairs, Non-Fiction books, Graphic Novels (Comix!), Manga and Books by Neil Gaiman(from American God fame).
I am now reading Tuesdays with Morie. A book that touched millions of readers and changed their lives forever.
you are one intellectual person :D i read for entertainment, but you read for knowledge. hmm i think i should try to change my choice of reading, before that i have to gradually trained myself of course! i guess till now i have only read less than 5 non-fictions, and all of them are about science and technology :D
News said that the book is selling at SGD5.50. So, you want to move to Singapore or what.
