so-soNot bad, and definitely fun to pass the time, but I found it a bit unbelievable. Without spoiling anything, the plot just seemed a little far fetched. But really, fun revenge story about a guy who's puppy gets killed (no that's not a spoiler! Haha). Especially fun if you've never read Ketchum!

#BlindDateBookSwap @TheReadingMermaid
This is the other swap I'm excited about. I've chosen some interesting texts that I'm curious to see if my secret swap will enjoy or not? This package is going out tomorrow as well. Busy post day 🏷️📚📕🎁😁
@TheReadingMermaid Thanks 😀
pickI too picked this one up because I read The Girl Next Door by Ketchum . This one isn't disturbing but is sad because the dog dies, but the build up to the finale is pretty good. By the way don't mess with an old mans dog.
so-soTwo books, Red being the main, and The Passenger being the novella at the end. Red was okay. It felt a little phoned in. A made for TV book if you will. Not what people read Ketchum for. The Passenger is what people read Ketchum for. Short, violent and intriguing. Still suggest it as a quick read.
The second time he stopped he cried at last for the loss of him and for their long fine past together and pounded with his fist at the hardscrabble earth that had brought them here.
Not looking forward to this one. As a doggie daddy of three and an animal lover, I imagine this is going to be tough to get through.
pickAvery Ludlow is relaxing, just fishing with his dog, Red, at his side when 3 teenagers show up at the river wanting to rob him. Because he has no money they shoot and kill the dog instead. The rest of this book is his quest for justice. If you had not told me who wrote this, I would have guessed Cormac McCarthy, although the use of punctuation would have had me second guessing myself. The way Ketchum writes about a way of life that is fading 👇🏼
This paragraph seems so insignificant but it‘s perfect placement in this book, with it‘s dark foreshadowing, lets you know things are far, far, far from being over. I didn‘t think I‘d pick up another Ketchum because of The Girl Next Door, and not because it was bad, but because some things can not be unseen. This one is pretty good so far.
