Tribulation - Dennis Brown

Advantages: Good tasting cheap food!
Disadvantages: In and out culture as they have a lot of customers

...Denny's is the perfect place to stop for breakfast. The nice thing about Denny's restaurants is that most of them are situated right off a freeway off ramp and they have big advertising signs on the freeway leading up to them so you cannot miss them so if you are travelling they offer the best place to stop. I have eaten at Denny's quite regularly but it has always been for breakfast on my way from California to Arizona in the early morning, that is what they are known for. The non-stop flowing coffee is also a plus with friendly wait staff there to help. The other great thing about Denny's restaurants is that they offer really good, cheap food. They offer so many choices for breakfast, one of their signature dishes being the "Slams". In my opinion the Grand Slam is their best with pancakes, eggs (any way you want them) and sausage...

Harry Brown follows a history of popular vigilante... Read review

...of the science was a little complicated (I really don't have a scientific mind at all) and I had to double read a few bit to ensure that I understood them fully. As I said, I had every intention of not reading the entire thing, but every time I started a new chapter I thought to myself 'right, this is definitely the last one', but then I'd get to the end of the chapter and I just had to find out what happened next, so then it was 'just one more chapter can't hurt'. As for the characters, well Robert Langdon is typical Robert. If you haven't read any of the other books I don't think this one would give you a real understanding of him, although it does give you some insight into his past and his days as a new lecturer. But I think Dan Brown has assumed that you know Robert and his little foibles. Although I don't believe it'd exclude anyone from... Read review
