by Michael Connelly, Len Cariou
Well this is one of my least favorite Bosch books. We get Bosch just bumbling from the beginning of this book to the end. We have Connelly get rid of two characters we have been following for a number of books now in completely (IMHO) stupid ways, and I don't know, I think Bosch is just casually rac...
Yet the writer get wrong regarding the information. Hong Kong people speak Cantonese, not Mandarin. Although they do speak it, they didn't really want to. Hong Kong people write in traditional Chinese. So the tattoo should be in traditional Chinese and not simplified deformed form of Chinese. ...
Only three stars. Shocking! But this didn't feel like a real Bosch.
Harry Bosch rolls again - this time to Hong Kong. Nine Dragons is the Chinese translation for the area of Honk Kong called Kowloon. That is where the focus of the story takes place.Michael Connelly has crafted a complete character in his star, Harry. He is somebody that you will care about. Bosc...
For a series that he has kept going for 20 years, one wonders when [a:Michael Connelly|12470|Michael Connelly|http://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1202588562p2/12470.jpg] would run out of ideas and steam.

This was a fast read with all the usual suspects and some unusual ones as well. This a...
For awhile now, I feel that Harry has lost its edge that made me love him in his earlier books. I think it started in LOST LIGHT, when he discovered Maddy. That said, I still enjoy his stories and this one is better than THE OVERLOOK (the last Harry Bosch book). There are personal issues involved --...
I've enjoyed every Michael Connelly book I've ever read. I've been acquainted with Harry Bosch from the earliest books in the series and have enjoyed his character development over the years. In Nine Dragons, Harry is even more of an intolerant, impatient, jerk than ever but he still has a solid lik...
My Plan was to make this book last at least four days. HA! Who was I foolin'?! Day 1: 135 pages Day 2: 190 pages Day 3: 50 pages End of story. I just couldn't help myself!Connelly cranks up the interest and excitement in this one by taking Bosch to Hong Kong for a big chunk of the book. And w...
