Advantages: Well written and interesting read Disadvantages: none
Background:
My boss has been singing the praises of P.J. Tracy for the past year. So under considerable pressure I finally relented and decided to give it a go. I am always conscious when someone recommends an author to you that opinions vary and what one person loves anything may loathe.
The Author:
This was a complete shock to me for a start. A book written by two authors! In this case it was a mother/daughter combination of Traci and PJ Lambrecht. I'm so glad I found this out after reading it otherwise I probably wouldn't have bothered, as I would have expected the book to be very disjointed.
This was their first best selling thriller. These were quickly followed by three more also best sellers, 'Snow Blind', 'Dead Run' and 'Live Bait'. All sharing this successful idea of two related writers.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of P.J. Tracy
I am Legend was the 2007; sci- fi horror adapted from the 1954 Francis Lawrence, and a remake of the classic The Omega Man. The film starred Will Smith, in what was to be his first horror film. Opening in late 2007, the film grossed well over $500 million worldwide.
Having heard mixed reactions to the film I figured I had to watch it for myself to see what all the fuss was about, having not see the Omega Man, I am Legend was a totally new film for me, I didn't no what to expect and didn't no the general backdrop of the film. Having seen the film I understand why people had such mix reactions about the film, however I thought it was one of the most decent horror films to come out for a while, and hopefully by the end of this review you will understand why.

Advantages: Simple writing style that allows the plot to flow and the pages to be turned Disadvantages: One slightly weaker character in the first half of the book.
and with 6 Walls between the town and the battle field they at least had a slim chance. To raise spirits around the camp and give the men hope they call in a Drenai legend by the name of Druss. Famous for winning battles against the odds even he thinks there is no hope but is willing to fight anyway. Can they save the Drenai Empire or do the Nadir have simply too many men?..
The first few chapters seemed to pass me by but soon enough it drew me in and all of a sudden I was hooked. It's not often that I get lost in a book but I certainly did in this one. It holds the interest nicely and keeps you turning the pages, which I think is always a bonus with a book. His style seems to draw you in and makes you want to find out what's going to happen. The books focus on the battle at Dros makes it quite fast paced.
