The Princes of Ireland : The Dublin Saga

62 reviews
Edward Rutherfurd

Seal Books, 2006

Rutherford's books
Rutherford does a great deal of research and manages to weave a lot of real history into a fictional story with finesse. The sequel, "The Rebels of Ireland", taught me more about Ireland's current culture than reading a stack of history books would have done.

Tangled Web

L.M. Montgomery

Seal Books, 1989

Very enjoyable, tangled tale
A Tangled Web is the perfect title for this story, which criss-crosses through the lives of several main characters. It can be a little hard to get your bearings through the opening chapters, which introduce many characters, but it's a very enjoyable story once you're into it, and one I've personally read several times. The main thread of the story is that Aunt Becky died, leaving a ...

The Road to Hell: How the Biker Gangs are Conquering Canada

5 reviews
Julian Sher, William Marsden

Seal Books, 2005

Fantastic Read
This is a factual account of the recent development and evolution of biker gangs -- specifically, the Hells Angels -- in Canada. Well-written and brilliantly researched, the authors do an excellent job of providing details about the Hells' infiltration of ports in Halifax, Montreal, and Vancouver, their domination of the illicit drug and porn industries, and their expanding business empire. ...

Pat of Silver Bush

L.M. Montgomery

Seal Books, 1988

My favorite LMM novel so far
I have read the entire Anne series, The Blue Castle, Kilmeny of the Orchard, The Story Girl and The Golden Road...but Pat of Silver Bush touched me in a way that none of the other novels did. The book follows Patricia Gardiner from age seven to age eighteen, but does not seem rushed. There is no complicated plot involving secret identities and there is very little melodrama, in my opinion. Pat ...

Karla : A Pact with the Devil

Finally a real good look at the homolka deal fiasco
I grew up near St Catharines and I am about the same age as Karla. My father was a teacher at the same High School Karla attended. I was there for the whole green ribbon task force force. I remember the hunt for the yellow camero (there never was any yellow car involved) and other hysteria that went on during the search for the two girls. What I like about this book is it shines a light the ...

Mistress Pat (Children's Continuous Series)

16 reviews
L.M. Montgomery

Seal Books, 1997

Don't want it to end
This is a book that I hate to have end because the plot is about a woman clinging to a way of life that's slipping away from her and I don't want to see it go. One of the most successful elements of the books is the characters and the sense of place. Judy, who we meet again from Pat of Silverbush, and Tillytuck, a new addition to the cast, are two of her most realistic and interesting ...

ZACK

5 reviews
William Bell

Seal Books, 2001

Fantastic book for young adults searching for their roots!
Zack is a teen who feels connected to his Father's Romanian Jewish heritage, but confused about "the family mystery." That is, his black mother never discusses her family background or why Zack has never met or learned about her side of the family. He searches out his black roots after tracing the history of an African slave whose personal items he dug up on their Canadian property. The ...

Haunted

63 reviews
Kelley Armstrong

Seal Books, 2005

How far would you go to protect those you love?
When Eve Levine (while alive, a witch not afraid of using Dark Magic to reach her goals and protect herself and her daughter Savannah) is called by the Fates to do them the favor owed (see Industrial Magic (Women of the Otherworld, Book 4)), she is taken by surprise. It seems that there is a nasty spirit out there - a demi-demon called the Nix - who has escaped from her hell dimension and is ...

The Risk of Darkness
Susan Hill

Seal Books, 2007

Simon Serrailler’s story began in The Various Haunts of Men (about a serial killer) and continued with The Pure in Heart (about a kidnapped schoolboy). Susan Hill is not afraid to tackle difficult issues, nor to face up to the realities of stress in an ordinary English police station. Her third crime novel, The Risk of Darkness , even more compulsive and convincing, follows up the child abduction and explores the crazy grief of a ...

Love the book, the recipes are awesome and the weight definitely comes off. Worth any amount of money.

Lethal Marriage (Updated Edition): The Uncensored Truth Behind the Crimes of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka

47 reviews
Nick Pron

Seal Books, 2005

Slave Indeed
A wonderful book about the serial killer Bernado and his slave Homolka. Yes, I said slave. I believe so many have a difficult time understanding the psychological implications of Karla's relationship with Bernado. This was not a gf/bf relationship, it wasn't a king and queen relationship, it wasn't a husband and wife relationship, and it most definitely not a team relationship. Bernado took ...

Edible Woman

Margaret Atwood

Seal Books, 1998

Not one of my favorite Atwood reads, but still recommended for fans
THE EDIBLE WOMAN by Margaret Atwood March 18, 2007 Rating: 4 Stars Here's a book I read back in 2006. I'm taking a guess, but I think this is Atwood's first novel. It's a psychological character driven story in which a woman finds herself in a relationship she doesn't really care for, and before she knows it she's engaged to be married. She doesn't know how to get out of the engagement, ...

The G.I. Diet: The Easy, Healthy Way to Permanent Weight Loss

57 reviews
Rick Gallop

Seal Books, 2003

1st Book of the GI Diet
This book verifies and clarifies the idea of the insulin and glucose "yo-yo" weight gain. 20 years ago I read another book similar to this idea, "Sugar Blues", but it was considered "fanatical". I recommend this book to anyone who can't understand why they just can't lose weight.

The Lighthouse (Adam Dalgliesh Mystery Series #13)

P. D. James

Seal Books, 2006

Slow Start: No Literary Hook and No Action for the First 100 Pages.
I have read a number of James's novels and think that her early work "A Mind to Murder" is a near perfect murder mystery. Now, she is near the end of her career and has twenty books or so in this series of detective novels. I read her recent work "The Murder Room" and I have the same impression of the present novel. For both of these books there is almost no information on the crime for the ...

The Water's Lovely
I enjoyed this book very much. It has interesting characters, lots of anticipated suspence, and the usual excellent story by Ruth Rendell.

Crow Lake: A Novel
Mary Lawson

Seal Books, 2006

Mary Lawson's debut novel is a shimmering tale of love, death and redemption set in a rural northern community where time has stood still. Tragic, funny and unforgettable, this deceptively simple masterpiece about the perils of hero worship leapt to the top of the bestseller lists only days after being released in Canada and earned glowing reviews in The New York Times and The Globe and Mail , to name a few. It will be published in more ...

Seal Books, 1988

Terrific
This book is amazing! The recipes are easy to follow and absolutely delicious :) I had to do a project for Home Ec. in which I planned and cooked a 4 course meal, then had people evaluate it, I used only recipes from this cookbook and it was fabulous. I would definately recommend this book to anyone. The illustrations add a wonderful touch to this masterpiece. P.S. I got 96% on my project :)

The Deep End

Joy Fielding

Seal Books, 2006

Mind Games
I couldn't put this book down and still didn't guess the ending. When Joanne Hunters husband tells her that he wants a break from marriage after 20 years, this almost perfect Stepford Wife stereotype, falls to pieces in disbelief...perfect housekeeping, perfect meals, caring only for him and the two girls..what could possibly be wrong? To add to her worries, her elder daughter develops a ...

Seventeen minutes after the co-pilot's distress call, the Geneva-bound jet crashed into the Atlantic off Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia just over an hour after leaving New York on September 2, 1998, killing all 229 people on board.
