I LOVE THIS BOOK
If you, like I, love a fabulous mystery, history, poetic-like writing and an intriguing subject, you must read the 19th Wife. I could not put the book down and finished it in two days. The author has an uncanny ability to delve into characters souls and psychologies ...

Brad Thor
Atria Books, 2008
Wow, a thrill ride from todays headlines
I have no idea how Brad Thor escaped my book buying this long but it's a mistake I am remedying right now. Don't make the same mistake. I don't usually take time to write a review let alone one with 5 stars but the Last Patriot is a fantastic thrill ride of a novel ...

The Pillars of the Earth
Ken Follett
NAL Trade, 2002
Good historical fiction
I was not excited at all to read this 970 page tome, but a friend loaned it to me and I have to return it in a couple of weeks.
This is not a fast read for me (too many twists and turns), but it is a great book. The characters are interesting and compelling and the ...

Moscow Rules
Daniel Silva
Putnam Adult, 2008
A great book! Great action, great plot, well written.
This is my first book by Silva, but now I will find some of his others. He brings the new Moscow alive as he keeps you wrapped up in this fast-paced thriller about an international arms dealer and the plot to bring him down. I tore through this book in three sessions ...

In the mouth of madness
For any beginning comic reader, and even more so for anyone else, "Arkham Asylum" is essential. Claimed by DC to be the best-selling graphic novel of all time, "Arkham Asylum" is deep, psychological, terrifying, and as dark as any comic I've ever read. Grant Morrison ...

Extraordinary novel
Having read almost the entire literary output of James Lee Burke, I can say there is nothing in his admirable works which reached this level. Swan Peak is a s complex in plot and developed in descriptive detail as any reader could wish. In this big novel, over four ...

Tribute
Nora Roberts
Putnam Adult, 2008
Hey! It is classic Nora Roberts
Since Nora Roberts has become such a prolific writer (don't know how she does it!), I am glad that she has apparently divided her efforts into different classes of books, ie: Robb-futuristic mysteries; NR-romance with a twist of mystery or fantasy and last but not ...
