Pickpick

Freaking loved this book. This is Lamar's best book yet: tightly plotted and filled with well-developed characters. This turned out to be an incredibly quick read for me.

I'm finding Marco Beltrami's score to Logan provides a perfect musical accompaniment to Lamar Giles' Overturned. The book has some dark, grim elements to it, but balances that with wit and heart. I'm about a fifth of the way into this book, and it's been a lot of fun.

Chapter three does a nice job establishing Nikki's credentials as a legitimate, high stakes poker player. I also like how it lends cred to her father's reputation, too.

Two chapters into Overturned, and the stage is already set for lots of messy drama. Lamar gives Nikki Tate an easygoing voice that fits her age (16) while exposing the unnatural maturity that circumstance has forced on her. Good stuff.

Wicket and I are excited about starting the new book from Lamar Giles. Overturned sounds like a great mystery novel. Let's go to Vegas, baby!

Vexingcircumstance What kind of dog is he? He is adorable? 8y
BillBlume @Vexingcircumstance Wicket is a terrier mix, but not sure of what all else might be in that mix. He's a proud, little shelter dog. 8y
Vexingcircumstance He is the cutest! He looks like a smaller version of a medium-largish sized husky/border collie/? Mix I had that I loved but had to rehome years ago. I always wondered what else was in his mix since he didn't look much like a husky (his mom was pure bred husky) or a border collie (dad was a stray that they said looked like a border collie but probably was a mix). 8y
