Fifty Grand was a big surprise for me - I was not familiar with McKinty, and I do not especially care for superheroes, particularly female ones including Salander, but McKinty's character had me hoping for a series with this Cuban character. But my fave is Robertson's "Random" so I am really looking forward to his second book to see if it will be anywhere near as good.Kennethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230841071384176436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32065323.post-47350930115924919882011-05-15T13:00:29.000+01:002011-05-15T13:00:29.000+01:00There are some very good titles here (and some not...There are some very good titles here (and some not so good!).
