A long long time ago, my 7th grade teacher suggested I catalog the books I read. I quit after a few years and have regretted that decision ever since. It's never too late to start anew. I have a habit of grading books and do so here.

Ghostman, Hobbs - B
This is a debut novel by a young writer, and one getting a lot of attention. The novel is simultaneously being published in fourteen languages. I guess the genre might be modern mayhem. A Ghostman is someone who disappears, lives off the grid, can help others disappear, and, in this instance, is a tech wizard very good with his hands and a gun. The Ghost owes a favor to a man who sets up crimes, a jugmarker. He cleans up a bad heist in Atlantic City, frames the jugmarker's arch-antagonist, befriends a female FBI agent and motors away in a boat he bought with his pay for the deal. I suspect we'll see him again.
