Book 17: Shadow Prey (Lucas Davenport #2) by John Sandford

From GoodReads:

A slumlord in Minneapolis. A New York politician. An Oklahoma judge.

Three strangers with one thing in common: each has been butchered with a Native American ceremonial knife by a killer known as Shadow Love. Lucas Davenport and Officer Lily Rothenburg needn’t look far for the killer. He’s right behind them.

What did you like most about the book? 

This book is another book that is pure action. There isn’t much in the area of literary themes and literary devices, but it makes up for this by having a ton of action and a good amount of twists to the story.

What did you like least? 

This is one of those books that is entertaining to read but somewhat forgettable. There is nothing to make this book stand out. There are some graphic sex scenes and loads of violence, as well, so the book is definitely not for everyone.

What did you think of the main character? 

Lucas Davenport is sort of a dick. He is always sleeping with too many women and he usually does things that are not really legal, but at the same time he is still a somewhat likeable character. There are definitely times that make me mad at him though.

Which character could you relate to best? 

There is an ancillary character in this book that I can relate to all too well. David is the husband of the visiting female detective that Lucas is actively trying to sleep with. David loves his wife so much that he has no idea what is going on. It is something that has happened to me in a past relationship.

I give this book a 5 out of 10. Entertaining but that is about all. 

The day the comments died

Since yesterday I posted about my somewhat irrational worries about friends, I thought I’d tell you another one that I sometimes think about. I know this is dumb, but every once in awhile I’ll get a lull on people commenting and visiting my blog and in that short 2-3 day period I will almost convince myself that people are now bored of my blog/bored of me and that people are soon going to stop commenting and visiting all together. I know it is dumb, but it happens to me.

This picture came up when I typed "comment whore" into google image....

 P.S. WordPress recommended I tag this post with Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert DiNero, and Mexico… and I have no reason why any of those would make any sense. If you have any ideas, please let me know before my brain explodes. 

Life needs a label-maker

I know that a lot of people don’t like putting labels on relationships and that sometimes people can use labels to hurt others, but that doesn’t seem to stop me from wishing that all my relationships came with a set label. It is so hard to tell what I mean (if anything) to a lot of the people who I come across in life. It would be so much easier if you could just look at someone and see how much they liked you and compare that to what you feel about them.

This is probably just me being crazy, but I do spend time thinking about what I mean to other people. There are just too many categories of friends out there and no way to know if what you want/feel towards someone is the same as what they want/feel towards you. Here are just some of the things I wonder about my friendships:

• Do they really want to talk to me?
• Do they only talk to me because they are bored?
• Do they only talk to me because I talk to them?
• Do they want random flirting or just want someone to talk to?
• Do they think I’m just using them?
• Do they only talk to me because I comment on their blogs?

It is just so hard for me to answer these questions. Even if you ask someone there is no guarantee they won’t lie. I just feel like I could be a better friend to everyone if I knew where I stood with everyone. :/

I’m sorry for this useless ramble if you are still reading this post.

I feel like he bunny in the back wants to be friends with benefits...
