Finally, finally, finished "The Gap" series.
My original comment stands - a good tale that could have been told in half the pages. I definitely felt there was a rush to "get the story told" at the end of the series. If Donaldson had been as compact with the other 4 ½ books as he was with the finale, it would have been great.
Up next, because I need a thriller:
Adam Cassidy is twenty-six and a low level employee at a high-tech corporation who hates his job. When he manipulates the system to do something nice for a friend, he finds himself charged with a crime. Corporate Security gives him a choice: prison - or become a spy in the headquarters of their chief competitor, Trion Systems.
They train him. They feed him inside information. Now, at Trion, he's a star, skyrocketing to the top. He finds he has talents he never knew he possessed. He's rich, drives a Porsche, lives in a fabulous apartment, and works directly for the CEO. He's dating the girl of his dreams.

This defines "Popcorn Book." A ton of fun, with a great twist at the end. If you're looking for some light reading, you'll enjoy this.

Looking forward to this one. I'm on the list for it at the local library. Might just buy a copy. I think hubby would enjoy it, too.

Recommended - very interesting book that even as a former sleep laboratory technician I learned a lot.

Ever notice you can scroll through this thread and just look at the cover images and usually know who posted it?

I am reading Dead Wake by the same writer. Good book so far.

I love Larson's books. I got hooked on them with "Devil in the White City."

Loved, just loved "Why We Sleep." It's amazing how the thinking about sleep has changed since I was in school.
Anyhow, up next - more popcorn:
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Click on the picture icon (fourth from the right), and copy the url of the picture you share. Paste into that command:

I inserted a couple of spaces so that it would look sort of what you should see.
Result? This:

thanks George. I thought I did just that.

George - not quite as well done as Why We Sleep, I would still recommend this one as well. Wish we were about 20 years younger.

Yeah. Popcorn indeed. And just as satisfying.
Has all the marks of a really good thriller - confusing crime, missing person, lots of misdirection.
But, popcorn ain't a good meal. The ending was rushed, confusing, and though satisfying, like popcorn, wasn't really fulfilling. 3/5 stars.
Up next, based on Kluurs recommendation:
Looking forward to it.
