Mal ,'War Stories'
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
Ahem, I have the first book HP on my Kindle. I paid nothing for it and it's in beautiful PDF form. The minute it's released in an official form, I'll buy it (the whole series, most likely). Anyway, if anyone wants to know how, email me. I might delete this later.
And Megan probably won't be my friend anymore!!!

SJ, finished "Moonlight Mile" and forget to tell you! I liked it a lot, especially the ending. It was a little implausible in parts, but I found all of his books to be. Still, I am going to miss Patrick and Angie!
Now, onto Richard Price's "Freedomland". This is a bit of a test for me because I have it in hardcopy and tried several different times to get past about page 60, despite liking it a lot. So I am wondering if the same thing will happen on my Magic Kindle.
Javachick -- yes, me! I have the Kindle app on my new smartphone.

Yeah, I can hand wave the improbable in his books just because they're so enjoyable. I wonder if Lehane will really be able to stay away from these characters forever. I kind of hope not. Maybe a book years from now after Gabby is in high school and they find a case they just can't stay away from. I really liked how Moonlight Mile mirrored Gone Baby Gone in theme and with the same impossible choices. No one is totally blameless in the choices they made.
Connie, I'll email ya!
sj, agreed on the enjoyment and the liking the parallels. What would you think of him revisiting them down the road and having it told from Angie's point of view?

I love love love Angie, and I think I would adore a story as told by her. I also wouldn't be opposed to a story about Bubba, although it would be considerable darker. Or a story about an adult Gabby who has both of her parents qualities and their inability to stay out of trouble.
I like all of those ideas!! I don't think Lehane should write anything else. He should just write stuff about Patrick, Angie, Gabby, Bubba and Amanda forever! :)
Who's Gabby? I don't remember her from the previous books.
I read Gud's Discipline on my Nook! I loved it! I like the voice and I liked the protagonist a lot.
Oh, cool, I'm glad you liked it. Did you get it directly off B&N?
