Michael Bennett At His Best!
This was a great read, fast paced and filled with twists and turns. Michael Bennett is the true New York police officer. He is becoming my favorite James Patterson character. I love Alex Cross, but he is a different kind of detective. Michael Bennett is reminded daily of his human side with his 10 adopted children and his grandfather Seamus. I loved this installment of the Michael Bennett series ...

Could not put it down from the minute I started. I'm so very sad it's all over.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Vintage)

Stieg Larsson

Vintage, 2009

Stayed up all night for this one
I thought this was a fascinating book, though not a perfect one. The mystery was laid out thoughtfully and kept me in suspense until it was solved. The secondary plot about the evil financier was less well done. We don't spend time with this faceless man who drives this part of the story, so this section feels half-baked though the outcome is fun. I found the characters to be interesting. ...

Hyperion Book CH, 2008

Wonderful Gift
I bought the 5 book series as a birthday gift for my 10 year old sone. His birthday is in January and I was hoping he'd have most of them read by the release of the movie mid-February. He loves them so much, that he's actually going to have all 5 books (and the guide book) read in 1 month for the release of the movie. He loves to read but I've never seen him read 100 pages in a sitting.

Wonderful in spite of the hype, and not about disaffected youth
Like most people, I was required to read this book in the late 60s. I don't have any recollection of being touched by it at all. I read it again in college, and either I thought it was all about disaffection and rejecting middle class values or I was told that by my teachers. I glanced at it again over my daughter's shoulder on a long plane ride a few years ago and couldn't wait for her to ...

Grab Some Tissue!
Yeah, WOW hardly describes this book. I don't wish to put out any spoilers, so I won't, but suffice it to say that I haven't seen the movie, though someone at work has. We talked about the two and I can only say that the two endings (the book and the movie) are completely different! When a book makes you cry, and I do mean boo-hoo crying, at least for me, that's a richly written book, that ...

Thank you
My niece asked me to order this for a friend for Christmas. It was a last minute thing so I didn't think we would get it in time, but we did. I hope her friend liked it, but we were pleased with the quick delivery.

Laurell K. Hamilton

Berkley Hardcover, 2010

Yet Another Anita Blake Novel
Laurell seems to have gotten bored with Anita Blake, and that boredom is being passed along to the rest of us. This novelette brings nothing new to the story - it is yet another anti-climatic short story without any major action. No new powers, still no shifting for Anita - there wasn't even any vampire interaction in this one - just some really weak wolf and cat. Laurell needs to either get some ...

My favourite books
Excellent purchase! I read the Twilight Series in paperback format in Spanish (I borrowed them from my sister in law) and I loved it! but I really wanted to read it (and own it) in its original language (cause the translation in my opinion wasn't very good), so I decided to buy the beautiful hardcover box set. It's a wonderful love story, very romantic but at the same time really fun and easy ...

Anagram for Olive
After spending most of the night & morning finishing Olive Kitteridge, I've become Elizabeth Strout's ardent fan. As a bossy, unbridled, very tall former teacher who also likes to plant bulbs and who has lived in a small coast Maine town (as a summer person), I completely identified with the central character's awkward, off putting manner. And then, I had an epiphany. Despite her abrasive ...

Nicholas Sparks

Grand Central Publishing, 2010

Love Isn't Always Easy, but It's Always Worth It
This book is one of my favorite Nicholas Sparks novels because the relationship between Ronnie and her father unfolds so naturally. Sparks is definitely adept at creating people readers care about, and in this novel, he's definitely on his game. I usually do not cry at when I read novels, but I did with this one even though I guessed where the end was going long before I got there. I didn't ...

Spiritual Forge Blog Review of "The Shack"
My wife and I read this to one another, and WOW! Normally I don't get "involved" in books like this, but as soon as I started reading, we were hooked. If you're reading this for the first time, there are some things in this book that are different, but my encouragement to you is stay with it and read it through. You will be the better for it. There are definitely some things in this book that ...

Loved it
This book was so good I'm sorry it ended. One cannot help but like Lispeth Salander she is a wonderful character. I like the Girl with the Dragon tatoo but I loved The Girl who played with Fire it has so many twists and turns, I can't wait for the last book in this series..one of the best I've read.

Colum McCann

Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2009

Great Read
I am not going to say much. I rarely rate books, or anything for that matter on Amazon. However I found this novel to be such a great read that I wanted to encourage others to buy it or go to the library and check it out. This author has an amazing talent for writing from the perspectives of multiple characters and really capturing each person's own unique emotions. Thanks Mr. McCann.

The Virgin Knows: an art theft thriller"Indeed, what constitutes life? Day after day, we put up with the brave struggle to play our role in this phantom comedy......to withdraw as far as you can from the jousting and combat that are the appendages of our warrior species, you drink a cup of tea, or perhaps watch a film by Ozu, and place upon this sorry theater the seal of Art and its greatest ...
