Chock-full of really cool characters–my books
Just about the most annoying books you can read are those in which the hero is obviously a stand-in for the writer himself, and the other characters are only there to make him look good. Oh, fap!
If you’re going to do that, you might as well go into politics, where it’s expected. Capitol Hill always has room for one more fat-head.
Highly recommended: the Inspector Ghote novels, by H.R.F. Keating. You can learn a lot from these–or just kick back and enjoy them.
Good, clean entertainment for all ages.
May God use the Bell Mountain series for His glory!
What about “I Did It My Way?” Wasn’t it all about Frank Sinatra? 🙂 I enjoy detail about the characters written about in a novel just so it isn’t too much detail – that’s gets old. Stephen King is guilty of this. He will go into great detail about a minor character’s life – it’s like he loves to write the way some people lover to talk.
It’s one of the reasons I stopped reading him. He ran out of ideas about 30 years ago.
