I need to get a physical book. I was stuck at home with the social distancing and work from home. And I have this audio book because I couldn't find this in the local book store. 

Regret. I cannot concentrate on this. I know I missed bits and pieces and cannot get the story in my head like I used to when I read the actual words. 

Overall, still a good book.  Lot of actions. It help to confirm that I need physical copy of book even when I got the audio version. 

4 stars. Might get a second chance when my local book store stock up books again. 

Danny Black was on a mission to hunt two known terrorists. 

The mission go sideways and Black is now running for his life. 

There is some really bad persons with guns. And now he have to find help from a doctor so that he could discover the truth and complete his mission.

I'm a fan of the Strike Back series. That lead me to read the books and probably why I like them so much. They are very straight forward in the way that the lead is usually in trouble because of politics or someone getting too greedy. And Danny Black is the good guy who would get into the middle of the problem and sort things out, with guns and explosives. 

Fun read. Really like it. Just what I need to get me to forget for a few hours the mess in the world and in the city. 

Oh boy I have been having some bad luck with my audio picks, so I'm going for something I know I'll like, because it's Uncle Steve's new book. 

german and english review

Inhalt: Dannys Vater ist Automechaniker und ... Wilddieb!
Als Danny das erfährt, ist er zunächst entsetzt - um später seinen Vater noch zu übertreffen und selbst Weltmeister im Wildern zu werden. Natürlich ist das illegal - aber in guter Familientradition schlagen die bei den den wachsamen Wildhütern mit vielen Tricks und großem Vergnügen ein Schnippchen nach dem anderen.

Meine Bewertung: Wunderbare Vater-Sohn-Beziehung!!!

Es ist geschafft, das war das letzte Roald Dahl Buch, das ich zu Hause liegen hatte und noch nicht gelesen habe. Ich muss mir aber noch zwei oder drei kaufen.

Eigentlich wollte ich das Buch schon im Januar fertig lesen, doch das Leben kam dazwischen und einige gesundheitliche Probleme, alles was absolut nichts mit dem Buch zu tun hat. Deswegen hat es allerdings etwas gedauert bis ich das Buch fertig gelesen habe.

Das Buch selbst gehört nicht zu meinen absoluten Favoriten von ihm aber es war dennoch unheimlich schön und richtig unterhaltsam. Ich liebe Bücher deren Fokus auf Kind-Eltern Beziehungen liegen. Besonders hier die enge Verbindung zwischen Danny und seinem alleinerziehendem Papa. Die Geschichte an sich war einfach richtig lustig und hat mir total gefallen.

Ein Highlight war für mich die Gute Nacht Geschichte mit dem BFG.

Summary: Can Danny and his father outsmart the villainous Mr. Hazell?

Danny has a life any boy would love—his home is a gypsy caravan, he's the youngest master car mechanic around, and his best friend is his dad, who never runs out of wonderful stories to tell. But one night Danny discovers a shocking secret that his father has kept hidden for years. Soon Danny finds himself the mastermind behind the most incredible plot ever attempted against nasty Victor Hazell, a wealthy landowner with a bad attitude. Can they pull it off? If so, Danny will truly be the champion of the world.

My review: Wonderful Father-Son relationship!!!

It is done. This is the last Roald Dahl book that I had at gome that I still had to read. Now I just have to buy two or three more.

I planned on actually finishing this book in january but life happened and some health issues, everything that isn't related to the book at all. But that's why it took my a while to actually finish this book.

The book itself isn't one of my favorites but I still enjoyed it quite a lot and had lots of fun with it. I just love books that focus on Children-Parents relationships. I especially really loved the strong bond between Danny and his single father. The story itself was just really fun and I liked it a lot.

A highlight of mine was the Good Night story about the BFG.

Charlie and his friend Peter are messing with a bot online that has supposedly been given the attributes of God. Messing with bots is a time-honored past-time, but things get weird when after insulting the bot, it goes quiet and the next day the boys receive an invitation to 'the God Game' on their phones. How did the bot know where to contact them, what is the game? Only vague, off-putting rumors exist online about the game and the invitation tells them that winning the game makes their dreams come true, but losing costs them their lives.

So, of course, they enlist three more friends, the five of them make up a computer club and have called themselves the Vindicators for reasons including the fact that they're geeky teenagers. The Vindicators quickly immerse themselves in the game, they find it advanced and quickly start getting benefits.

The game, however, starts asking them for favors and refusing comes at a high cost.

'The God Game' has a terrific pace, really good characters, and a lot of nail-biting action. There are some great twists I didn't see coming. We spend the most amount of time with Charlie, presumably because he's white, and despite his whining and lack of effort in the game, he gets rewarded, a lot, by that game. There is some internal logic of the book that could explain this (straight white males tend to get bonuses), but I don't KNOW if this was all that intentional. Add that doubt to a lame-ass ending and I'm left with mixed feelings about the book.
