It was easy to imagine the characters from Castle in my mind as I listened to the book and I enjoyed the story. The only thing I didn't particularity care for was the person they chose to read it. I think Johnny Heller is boring and I think it impacted the book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440764593580848794.post-11803445843581113762009-11-21T04:07:47.497-06:002009-11-21T04:07:47.497-06:00I loved Heat Wave and it's gotten me really in...I loved Heat Wave and it's gotten me really interested in that sort of genre.

That book tie-in was supposed to be a manuscript of one of the other passengers from Oceanic Flight 800 that perished in the crash. His manuscript washed up on shore. I don't believe that book enjoyed quite the same level of success as <i>Heat Wave</i> however.Perplexiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09971805688658949769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440764593580848794.post-14812107067556529472009-11-06T12:20:31.211-06:002009-11-06T12:20:31.211-06:00Barrie - As I mentioned elsewhere, this was the sh...Barrie - As I mentioned elsewhere, this was the show I most looked forward to seeing again this fall.

Enjoy.<br /><br />Patti - If you like the show for what it is, you will like the book.<br /><br />Randy - Glad I'm not the only one who sees potential for more books. <br /><br />Kaye - Enjoy that first season. There are some great moments. Then, head on over to Hulu or ABC.com and catch up with the new season.<br /><br />Kathy - I think I could watch Fillion and Katic read the phone book and be entertained.<br /><br />David - Firefly, on Hulu, is a show of which I've only seen 4 episodes. Loved them, as did my wife. We'll get through them, maybe during the Christmas break. And give Castle a try. I think you'll like it.<br /><br />Linda - I think Amazon has the book on backorder. Stick with it.<br /><br />Ellen - Although creator Andrew Marlowe is insisting he didn't write it, I'm sure he had some editing chops in there. Castle is, aside from Project Runway [yeah, I love that show] the fastest hour of TV for me per week. I can't wait until 9pm CST and, before I know it, the 10pm news is coming on.Scott D.
