Bleed a River Deep by Brian McGilloway

I've read 3 previous books by this author and generally get a bit confused about who's who due to the abundance of characters that are introduced. It usually all becomes clear, though, in the true style of a murder mystery and the books are very well written, informative and educational about troubles in Ireland (where they are set).

This latest one is supposed to be McGilloway's most sophisticated yet, so I'm probably very likely to totally lose the plot! :oops:
By the time I've learnt everything I need to know, it'll be too late ...........

I'd personally class that as lazy reading! :D - I listen to quite a lot of audio books.

Only ever listened to one audio book. Tanja bought it for me to help with the long journeys and by the time I had driven home I had got all the way through it.

Lance Armstrongs 'It's Not About The Bike'. How truly ironic. No Lance, it was not about the bike. It is about drugs and cheating, bullying, fraud on the highest scale, making yourself out to be some type of hero to people suffering whilst ruining others lives. I could go on....but time to end rant.

Just thought that Tanja deserves a refund on the CD's!

Has there ever been a bigger fall from grace than Lance Armstrong?! :? - Seriously, a sporting hero for millions of people and then lowest of the low.

You have to listen to the Radio 5 documentary and read the cycling press. Alot more than just a positive drugs test (though according to Lance he never tested positive).

Could make a film out of it. 'Godfather 4'.................... ;)

I think it was the way he came back after cancer. Regardless of whether you were into cycling, he was someone to admire.

Totally agree. Probably won alot more admirers through Livestrong than via cycling. Hopefully though they will now get to hear all the negative stuff as well as I think they interweave quite well.
