Dark of the Moon - Premium Night Vision Goggles for Outdoor Adventures

I am a huge John Sandford fan. I have read the entire "Prey" series. I loved every single Prey book. I tell everyone that Lucas Davenport is my absolute favorite character. I've yet to find the perfect actor to play the part of Lucas in a movie. I have a picture of Lucas in my head, and finding an actor to play the part, well, it's just not easy. I don't work in the movie/TV industry either, and live on the opposite side of the country from Hollywood! LOLI was hesitant to read the Virgil Flowers' series, because I'm stuck on Lucas, and thought that the books wouldn't do justice to Davenport. (HaHa)Now, I have read the entire Flowers' series, and anxiously await the next one, so I can download it on my Kindle and begin reading the next adventure that Sandford has in store for Virgil.This book has the same pace as the Davenport series, but in a different sort of way. I start reading the book and didn't want to put it down (even staying up until 2a.m. when I had to be at work at 7:55 a.m.). In each of Virgil's adventures, I'm reminded of Lucas before the Weather days.I mentioned staying up until 2 a.m. one night reading, and Sandford always makes me laugh out loud, not just "lol" that's so commonly used on the internet and in text messages, but really laugh out loud. He and the sheriff are doing some recon out at the ex-felon's place, when Virgil sneaks up to the truck, messes around with the wires, the dog barks, and he runs back to where he and the sheriff have been staking out the place. I believe it's after they get back in the sheriff's truck headed away from the place and Virgil tells the sheriff, "Man, when that dog barked, .... you owe me for a laundry bill!'' (That may not be word for word, but it's close.) I woke my husband up because I just laughed out loud.Sandford does a wonderful job plotting out the suspects, but never giving away the "whodunit" until it's time. At the end of each book, be it Davenport, and now Virgil, I anxiously await the next one. The Flowers' series is different than the Prey series, but still Sandford, and if it was the same, they wouldn't be nearly as good, because Virgil is totally different than Lucas.Before I end my "review", I just have to comment on one other part of the book, and I've found something similar in all of the Virgil Flowers' books... He calls Lucas, and it's almost always early. Lucas usually answers with "You better not be in a "youknowwhat" fishing boat!" Then, Virgil will tell him whatever happens to be going down, and Lucas responds with, "And this couldn't wait unitl 9:00 a.m.?" LOVE the series. I can't believe it took me this long to read the Virgil series. It was about a month ago that I downloaded the first Virgil book on my Kindle, and I read all of them in two weeks! Sandford is wonderful, and I plan to download and read the Kidd novels and his other books, even if they don't have Virgil or Lucas in the stories. I give this book 5 our of 5 stars, and I'm a a huge book worm. Keep up the good work, Sandford! As previously stated, I'm anxiously awaiting a new Virgil and Lucas adventure!
