About this deal

The Cleaner was the first book written by Mark Dawson that I have read and it was not at all what I expected. Our hero, John Milton, kills people for a living and does so on behalf of the British government. He has, however, grown tired of exterminating the evildoers in society, not that there aren't plenty more who ought to be killed, but that's for a treatise on the US Republican party. Carpet cleaning service: Carpets can get really dirty even if you don't see all the accumulated particles with the naked eye. Get your carpets deeply clean, and the professional will use either hot water extraction cleaning or dry cleaning methods so that your carpets or rugs return their initial look.

Art gum is your best choice for cleaning cloth covers. You can use Absorbene, too, as well as document cleaning pads as described above. Some resources suggest using a clean cloth with a little fabric softener, but try to avoid exposing your book to chemicals you’re not 100% sure about. If you really, really think you need to get the cloth moist, use almost no water and dry the book thoroughly afterward. Leather Overall, this was a dramatic novel for me, but not the full action thriller I was expecting. However, I did like it and want to read the next book in the series to see where the author takes Milton’s character.What could have been an excellent redemption/vigilante story was marred by too many missteps. There was a big infodump about Milton's past awkwardly wedged into a chapter on his boss trying to figure out what to do with him. To make matters worse, the timeline of that "history" would put the present in about 2017-2018, clearly not the intent. There were a number of strange inconsistencies that had me shaking my head. Why would Milton be concerned about the effect on his career if Control found out about his attending AA when he just so definitively quit? How could he not have noticed that someone had been in his house when he'd made a point of setting little trips an intruder would disrupt? There were many others Then, there were just stupid little things that a man of his experience wouldn't mistake. Unlike some "#1" books I have read recently it does stand alone as well as leading into a series, so you won't be left hanging at the end feeling you have no choice but jump straight into #2. I will carry on with the series, but I can do so at my leisure knowing I won't have to re-read this one to remember where it left off. It starts out with a bang. The cleaner of the title takes out two targets with a submachine gun, then the cop who happens upon the scene. But he lets a young witness live, so we know he has a heart. So far so good. At the end of the first chapter I thought I had a winner on my hands. Living room: Dusting, polishing the windows from the inside, vacuuming and mopping, skirting board wiping, furniture cleaning and bin emptying. Obviously, you shouldn’t use a toothbrush that’s ever been in your mouth on a book. Not only is a used toothbrush full of germs, but if it’s tough enough to clean your teeth, then it’s probably too harsh for brittle paper. Get the softest brush possible. Makeup brushes can also be good for this purpose. 7. Get Out Any Bugs

At one point the 'hero' is shown to be leering at the breasts of an unconscious woman. Oh dear, not good. Prepare the cleaning space by placing some waxed paper or plain newsprint under the book. This will help catch any mildew spores and prevent them from spreading. This paper will be thrown away. The familiar and beloved “old book smell” is mostly mildew, which is terrible for your books. If your library of old volumes smells like a library of new volumes, then you’re doing your cleaning job well. If not, it’s time to kill some microorganisms. A: Sure, just let us know when, and we will be happy to arrange this for you. Please note that your usual cleaner might not be available, but we can send an equally experienced professional. Another prosaic attempt to create a Jason Bourne lookalike - with the same-old-same-old, unimaginative, stale, plot.

The things that bothered me the most, though, were about Milton himself. For a deadly and smart assassin with about twenty-plus years of experience in some pretty messed up situations, he was remarkably naive about just how vicious and violent organized gangs can be. He repeatedly underestimated his opponents and what they would do, directly resulting in some pretty awful consequences for some of his friends. He also seemed to completely forget about his old employer and what he was capable of. After all, after ten years in the Group, moving steadily up to Number One, how could he not know that there was only one way old agents "retired?" Why did he take no pains to disappear off their radar after walking out? He was often TSTL, a charge I last leveled against a fictional assassin in Sarah Maas's execrable series. This novel takes a hard look at gangs, drugs, alcoholism, poverty, working three jobs and still not being able to pay all of the bills, atonement, helping others, jealousy, corruption, theft, riots, murder, revenge, and much more.

Consider having it professionally digitized if you want to keep using it. That way, you don’t have to place wear and tear on the real thing. There’s also a degenerative problem that old leather can experience called red rot. You’ll know that’s what you’re dealing with when your venerable leather binding crumbles between your fingers. Cellugel can stabilize a rotten leather cover. Paper At the AA meeting, he realized that he couldn’t be open and honest about himself as did the others. “He knew he belonged there with them, his inability to take part made him feel like a fraud.” Whilst I enjoyed Mark Dawson’s writing, there were times where it was almost like he had swallowed a thesaurus. I used the dictionary on my Kindle more than I normally do in a book and a few of the words weren’t necessary and sometimes weren’t appropriate for the thing or situation being described. That would be my only niggle with the writing other than that Mark portrays a truly vivid and believable picture of the darker side of London and when the riots hit I was reminded of that night that I stayed up all night watching footage on TV of the riots. The gang members portrayed are believable, and if I had to describe this book to anybody it would be Top Boy in book form. The characterisation really is top notch and it was all too easy to picture the character of Elijah, a boy clearly with a decent mother and who in another part of the UK would flourish as he was clearly intelligent but just fell in with the wrong crowd. I finished the book wondering about Elijah and his future and how he coped with the events at the end of the story. He’s a fictional character but there’s kids like him all across London.
