The Nuances of the Spying Game
I have always wanted to be spy or a spook in the spying game vernacular. After reading John Le Carre's first novel, 'A Call For The Dead' and meeting George Smiley, I imagined myself in a trench coat hiding in corners. I then went on to read every book written by John ...

Fun read with a very likeable character
I was eagerly awaiting this book and was not disappointed. I will not go into the story details because many others have already done that. I will just say..It is fun, interesting, and unusual in that the bad guys don't always lose in this one. I am a great fan ...
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Stieg Larsson
Knopf
, 2008
Excellent
While it took close to one hundred pages to get into this book, I am so very glad that I stuck with it. Yes, translations can be clunky, yes, the cast of characters was huge, yes, it was long. It was worth every one of those minor faults and more. It took all those ...

Why did it have to end? Great book!
Having read "The Pillars of the Earth" earlier this year, I didn't wait long to pick up this volume. The first three hundred pages were very reminiscent of the first book, but then it came into its own. Contrary to the few reviewers on this site who panned the book ...

Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)
Janet Evanovich
St. Martin's Press
, 2008
LOVE PLUM-
This series is my absolute favorite "relax and read". Such great characters and always makes me laugh- perhaps after 14 there are just so many high expectations that fans get overly critical. Every person I recommend this just adores Stephanie Plum. Keep em coming ...

Hunter a terrific read, as always
Just finished Night of Thunder, practically in one sitting: as with the previous eleven Hunter thrillers, I enjoyed myself immensely. I still think DIRTY WHITE BOYS is Hunter's best; I've re-read it half a dozen times. One small quibble at the end when our hero talks ...

Must read
The book is fascinating, throws you into a world that is hard to comprehend for some and yet a lot of what is being described are things everyone of us "westerners" feels and does as well. A must read.
