I'm going to pull it all out, one hair at a time, before it gets there.

Suggest

Blog kitt decided around 16:34 on 22 February 2015 to publish this:

When attempting to post a question to a site's forum, I was met with this screen:

The site wanted to be helpful, and efficient. Rather than my asking a question that had already been answered, it took my question, extracted key words, searched for those results and suggested them to me. Maybe one of those questions with answers has already answered my question.

This is great. I highly encourage such ideas and suggestions. Maybe my question has already been answered. In my case, I can't be upset they were suggesting other answers, even though in my case I had already clicked through the links they had suggested (yes, I clicked through the ones I could actually see, even with scrolling). Some people won't search, they just ask again instead of being resourceful. I understand this, so like that the suggestions were provided.

Harry Bosch, Book 10

I listened to this book instead of reading it. Surprises no one. What surprised me about this audio book was the production of it. In particular, the MF annoying sound "enhancements" in it. The producers of this book should not be allowed to produce another book if their style includes adding annoying music to a book.

In reading this book, though it was book 10 of the Harry Bosch series, I feel like I've missed some book between 9 and 10. There were references to previous events that I know I hadn't read, and I've been reading the Bosch series straight through.

As mentioned in my In Progress notes, Connelly, the author, thought mixing the first person (Bosch's) view point with the third person omniscient (everyone else's) was a good thing. I think it was a cop out. Was a half-hearted literary attempt at cleverness that failed.

If you're a Bosch fan, keep reading. If you're not, start with the first book to see if you like them.

In Progress notes
Okay, book 10 in the Harry Bosch series. This one has some FBI agent in it, according to the first chapter. It's also written in 3rd person omniscient, where we hear the thoughts of all of the characters. Which is weird, because the Harry parts are in the first person. The dichotomy is annoying. As annoying as the literary cheating is, nothing compares to the tear-my-hair-out run-around-screaming annoying musical "enhancements" the audiobook producers have added to the beginning and ending of each chapter. HF, annoying.
