It was half past dawn when the phone rang. It shattered the first dreams of the night into a thousand peices so that I couldn’t even remember what the dream had been about.
I’m not really sure why I picked this book up, after the last few turned into nothing but porn I thought I’d give them a miss. But it was only €7, and I’ve read the others so I thought I may as well be a completioniest. But this doesn’t really seem to be the same as the others in the series. Its shorter, and there really isn’t any plot. I mean there is a storyline about raising some fella who died of a heart attack before he could testify to the FBI, but that isn’t what the book is about. It is just the setting Hamilton chose to get Micah and Anita on their own.
In a way this is a character piece. Micah has never really had a strong role in any of the other books, so this is Hamilton’s chance to explain a bit about him, and his background. And there isn’t even that much sex. So little plot, little smut, its all about character interaction and Anita and Micah getting to know each other a little better.
I do have to wonder about the cover though. Honestly look at it and say it isn’t off-putting.

Sometimes people really make you wonder if they have brains at all. I mean, if you are sitting at a computer, in a public place, where the monitors face the room would you really be looking at porn?
Well, would you?
Cause thats what some of the students were doing today. There I was, at the desk, doing up Resource Folder lists[1] when I noticed that one of the fellas on the computer was browsing through a load of images. So I watched for a while, trying to decide whether I’d go tell him that “library P.C.s are for research only”, when I noticed him lean over to his friend, asking him to move so he would block the screen. This made me wonder what exactly he was trying to hide.
My interest was rewarded by seeing the top of a huge image begin to load. Thank god our computers aren’t too fast 
As I stood up porn-boy’s friend noticed and said something. Porn-boy clicked out of there pretty quickly, let me tell you.
But that did not annoy I. On no. Instead I pointedly told him that “you shouldn’t be looking at things like that here” and then took a look at what his friend, who shall henceforth be known as Porno-mate, had on the computer. A flash game. So, despite the fact that I often use webland for games and what not I made him shut that down. I also made porno-mate shut down his email, as technically email isn’t allowed in the library. Hee. I was going to flick through the stuff they had printed off, but decided not to risk my eyesight. 
I don’t really care if the students look at porn. Once they aren’t stupid enough to do it on the library computers where everyone can see exactly what they are looking at. Plus, we’ve been hit by a load of viruses lately, not to mention spyware. A lot of which probably comes from porn sites, and game sites.
I must pay more attention to what the students are using webland from. It is fun to make them stop. Power-mad? me? I hardly think so. I’m still letting you read this blog, amn’t I?
