Sour Lake: Or, The Beast

5/10/15

So my next book was pretty much chosen for me by three pleases and a bonus book. I feel like I was bribed to read this book. But I guess as long as I read the book, its helping an author out. Of course I have no idea what the book is about. I never read the backs of these things. And also I don't read the description when I enter contests. If the cover looks cool or if its by one of my favorite writers, I just pick it up and hope that its good. I'm a horrible person. Anyways, I'm going to head out and wrap up The Hollow and start reading this book. You have to admit the cover looks kind of cool. So until next time......

Anyways, on another note, I officially started reading Sour Lake. And, I have to point out that it starts out a little gruesome. I admit that I may have written a book starting in a similar fashion, but it was for a school project that had to do with Jack the Ripper. But you have to admit that it does pull you in. Kudos for that, Bruce. Now if only I could stop murdering names in my head as I read the book. You would think out of all the books I read, I would be so much better with names. Nope. I'm still horrible at them. But I'm learning. Anyways, back to the book. Other then it being highly detailed at the moment, I'm just going to try to read it and find out what is going on in the story. So far I have a dead school teacher and a sheriff hiding evidence. I wonder what that is all about. Maybe I'll find out before my shift is over. So until next time.....

 I am no where near a tenth of the book because I have no concentration to read. No motivation is more like it. The book is good and I like how it starts, but for some reason I just want to play on my computer instead. Maybe because that seems to make time go by faster. I've been working for about eight days straight now. So you can see why I can't focus on anything. Late nights are boring, and take forever to be over with. Anyways, the book is good and kind of scary detailed. If you have a very good imagination but a weak stomach, I suggest you don't read this book. But who am I to tell you want to do. Read it if you want, just don't say I didn't warn you. So until next time......

 Anyways, lets get talking about the book. So nothing much has happened in the book other then me trying to figure out all that is going on. But its getting to the point where they are thinking a vampire is involved. Or, should I say night walker? The book is pretty much just as crazy as Sign. Sour Lake tends to jump around as well, so you really got to pay attention to everything. There are clues everywhere but none of them make sense. Anyways, I'm finally about a third of the way through the book and I'll be trying to read more while at work. It all depends on how well my attention span is. Lately it hasn't been that long. I feel like my brother who has ADHD. That kid can only last halfway through Iron Man before he starts jumping around and picking on my dogs. Poor things. Anyways, I'm going to head our for now it is almost time to do our paper work for the day. So until next time......

 t is getting to that  point where my attention span starts to become shorter. As much as I like the book, I can't keep my focus. I blame my cousin on this one. If she didn't get me into a certain TV show, then I wouldn't have my mind on that show instead of focusing on reading. Tomorrow is most likely going to be a lazy day for me. Because I like to sleep in my comfy bed while cuddling with my dogs. Also I'd like to spend as much time with them before my crazy two weeks gets here. Nothing like a concert shortly followed by a trip to the East coast to make me missing my dogs already. But I at least get to see a familiar faces I know and love. One just more then the others. Also traveling to where my favorite writer once lived is pretty cool. Expect pictures of me hanging out with Edgar Allen Poe. Just saying. But I'm heading out for now because I have a book to read and a show to watch. So until next time.......

It feels like I should be farther in this book, but Goodreads hates me and likes to laugh in my face. Apparently I am only like sixty percent through this book. It is making me mad. Anyways, things are going pretty crazy in this book. There are things that aren't what they appear to be. Some crazy men that die if they talk about what they found drilling. Then add in a forest full of dead bodies hanging from trees like slaughtered cattle and you got a book that is just as crazy as Sign. I think these books would be awesome games because they are so outrageous that a movie couldn't put these to justice. You basically have to experience the whole thing yourself. And, what better way then playing an interactive game. I'm just saying. If you were all wondering because I haven't really talked about it until I started reading this book, I did finish Sign and I have no words on that book. Just read it and you might as well get this one too because they are both equally crazy good. It just boggles your mind in a good way. Anyways, I'm probably going to take a break from this book for a while. I have a ton of other books I have to read. Even though I want to finish this book, but it is making me read slow and puts me behind schedule. I will pick it up as soon as I finish the huge stack I got. So until next time.......

 Is it bad that I'm actually glad this book is over? I'm not saying that because its a bad book. I mean after a point, I couldn't put it down. But it was a little too graphic for my taste. Like the author almost goes into complete detail with each death in the book. Kind of makes me want to put the book down and say 'nope, I can't do this. Screw it.', but I don't. I stuck through it just for you guys. Anyways, there are a lot of deaths towards the end. There is something going on in this small little town and you die if you talk about it or know about it. The ending is pretty intense because they have to try to defeat this thing. And, let me tell you that it is nearly indestructible. So honestly I'm not really done with the book. I don't even know how they defeat the monster, but I'm willing to find out. Either way, go check out the book but only if you don't have a vivid imagination like I do. The book gets pretty graphic and crazy. So until next time.....
