Another entry in the Andy Carpenter series.  I mean no disrespect to Rosenfelt when I say that these are pretty terrible books, but I mean full disrespect to myself when I say they are comfort reads, stupid and easy.  I'd swear this same plot was in a few previous Carpenter books but who cares.  Enjoyable listen when walking the dog, working out, etc.  Keep them coming.

Not a huge fantasy fan but this was a pretty entertaining off to see the wizard type novel.  Fair amount of deus ex machina going on, but again, still enjoyable overall.

Well I definitely made the wrong call reading Graves book about Lawrence (see previous post) first.  Reading it at all, really, though it pains me to say that because of how much I admire other works by Graves.  

Buy Lawrence's own book that I'm posting about today is a masterpiece.  Cannot believe I've not read this before.  This was a huge book, both in size and scope, and it far exceeds my expectations.  

Lawrence and the Arabs, by Robert Graves

Traveled to Jordan this year and many of the sites we visited had historical markers for, or shrine to, Lawrence of Arabia.   

I barely recalled the movie having seen it once in college and have never read books by or about Lawrence.  But I recalled when looking for more books by Robert Graves after devouring I, Claudius that he had written a book.  

So this is that book and I realize now I made a mistake in reading this one first, I should have started with Lawrence's own 7 Pillars which I'm reading now.  

Graves book is pretty dry and non-critical.   Not the work I was expecting based off his later writings.
