Grunge (Monster Hunter Memoirs, #1)

Posted on 23 June 2018 by Larry Correia

When Marine Private Oliver Chadwick Gardenier is killed in the Marine barrack bombing in Beirut, somebody who might be Saint Peter gives him a choice Go to Heaven, which while nice might be a little boring, or return to Earth The Boss has a mission for him and he s to look for a sign He s a Marine He ll choose the mission Unfortunately, the sign he s to look for is 57 Which, given the food services contract in Bethesda Hospital, creates some difficulty Eventually, it appears that God s will is for Chad to join a group called Monster Hunters International and protect people from things that go bump in the night From there, things trend downhill Monster Hunter Memoirs is the mostly true story of the life and times of one of MHI s most effective and flamboyant hunters Pro tips for up and coming hunters range from how to dress appropriately for jogging low profile body armor and multiple weapons to how to develop contacts among the Japanese yakuza, to why it s not a good idea to make billy goat jokes to trolls Grunge harkens back to the Golden Days of Monster Hunting when Reagan was in office, Ray and Susan Shackleford were top hunters and Seattle sushi was authentic. Free Download Grunge (Monster Hunter Memoirs, #1) author Larry Correia For Kindle ePUB or eBook – kino-fada.fr This is about a 3.5 but I m rounding down because it ends on a stupid joke This is not a Larry Correia book That s clear from the beginning when the explanation of how it all came about is given in two forwards one by Ringo, one by Correia so you know this going in It s a premise that fits well with the MHI universe as the library at the compound is an important aspect of their work, so a book of memoirs from a hunter from the 80 s is very plausible.I ve never read Ringo before I have This is about a 3.5 but I m rounding down because it ends on a stupid joke This is not a Larry Correia book That s clear from the beginning when the exp...Worst book I read this year with inane prose, no plot and A LOT of right wing fantasy John Ringo, why can you only be exceptional with exactly one book Definitely not Larry Correia s writing, despite everything about the collaboration Review crossposted from Reanne Reads.First off, a little background Larry Correia is one of my favorite authors, and I really like his Monster Hunter series This is primarily because of 1 Characters that I really enjoy, most especially Trip I also really like Earl and Milo Other characters are also enjoyable, and I don t really dislike any of them.2 Intricate, well thought out plots.3 They re fun.I haven ...I liked the premise of this book A look at a different hunter team, in a different area, during a different time That sounds pretty cool.Unfortunately, the execution was extremely disappointing Other than Larry Correia s name on the front of the book, it s clear that almost all of it was written by John Ringo.And while I ve read Ringo s books and they re generally fun reads if you want some action and not to think too much, they aren t up to the quality standards I expect from Mon...This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers To view it, click here Ok, the good first, then the rant, which most likely will be spoiler filled You have been warned.1 Larry Correia s MH world Love it Always have, always will.2 That Larry Correia apparently took out all of the racy bits Looks like, since the average book is 500 pages and this only clocks in at a light ...So bad So very, very bad Let s just say after this, I won t read another novel that John Ringo writes even if it is Monster Hunter.Think, if you will, of all the things you loved about Correia s MHI series this book pretty much takes them all and turns them into annoying caricatures Starting with the main character, who is essentially a giant schmuck Who s a genius, and amazingly awesomely amazing at everything Ladies love him, he s a master musician, a master swordsman, and of course, So bad So very, very bad Let s just say after this, I won t read another novel that John Ringo writes even if it is Monster Hunter.Think, if you will, of all the things you loved about Correia s MHI series this book

hubby will think of this onehe said the last MHI should have been captioned Back for More Cash.Being in Texas, and pretty far left on the political spectrum, I have a lot of Buddies, and at least one very good friend, that I disagree with politically the way around this is that we find some common ground, usually guns, that we agree on, concentrate on that, and barring a few brush fires that are quickly extinguished, get along pretty well because I only associate with interesting, intelligent people T...I m not sure why Correia let this other author play in his playground This book was nothing but glorified fan fic Sure, it was better written than fan fic, but it read like the wet dream of a conservative guy from the midwest who loves Japanese culture and thinks he s smart.The whole character of Chad was wish fulfillment for Ringo The character is smart and got all A s until he decided to get C s Sounds like someone is trying to justify the lack of stellar academic performance in

The lead character, Chad, is an unapologetic, womanizing, gun loving, monster killing, God loving Marine, and he s wonderful Sure, he s pretty much good at everything he decides to do, and he s so over the top that it s part of his charm Even super hunters have rough assignments, though, so don t expect Chad and MHI to bl Want politically correct characters peacefully coexisting with human
