Moment of Truth in Iraq: How a New 'Greatest Generation' of American Soldiers is Turning Defeat and Disaster ...86 reviews
Michael Yon

Richard Vigilante Books, 2008

A truly neutral view on the War in Iraq
Ever since the media has practically been ignoring Iraq, I've been trying to find a source of some sort that had a neutral look on Iraq, good and bad. This book was exactly that. Many have summed up this book greatly, but I'll add in a few bits. I would of liked for it to be a little longer as one review also said, there are a few parts that would of been nice to be explained moreso. (such as ...
  
  











  



  
Dexter in the Dark: A Novel139 reviews
Jeff Lindsay

Doubleday, 2007

Happy departure
First off, if you like the dexter TV series, this book may not be for you. If you like the lovable Dexter who claims he's not human, but still loves, cares, and has honest true feelings for his sister and a few other characters, this ABSOLUTELY is not for you. This 2007 novel, the third in the popular "Dexter" series, took a strong departure into the spiritualistic nature of our favorite ...

Matt Ruff

HarperCollins, 2007

Look under the sink . . .
I started to read this after finishing Little Brother by Cory Doctorow. Quite a hard act to follow since I loved Little Brother and didn't have high expectations for this new author, Matt Ruff, I had found. But this book was so far beyond what I thought it would be. I was expecting more tongue in cheek farce and instead this was a layer cake of crime, motivation and mystery. I loved it. ...
  
  











  



  
The Deniers: The World Renowned Scientists Who Stood Up Against Global Warming Hysteria, Political ...24 reviews
Lawrence Solomon

Richard Vigilante Books, 2008

An initial step on the road back to sanity from the Global Warming Religion
Recently, I started to wonder where I could learn more about "Global Warming" and the temperature rises that were predicted. There must surely be books or magazine articles that explained the observations and the models. How had the models been tested and verified? What were the formulas and equations the models were based on? What were the confidence limits on the predictions? From my own ...
  
  











  



  
The Spider: City of Doom (The Spider)1 review
Norvell Page

Baen, 2008

Spideriffic!
The Spider: City of Death "A man and woman stood rigidly against the wall. The man wore rumpled pajamas; the woman's nightgown was green silk and an inset point of lace dipped between her breasts." Only Norvell Page could start a novel like that. Right into the action. Break and enter. Death threats. The promise of a far greater evil. The Spider was a perfect character for the ...
  
  











  



  
The Virginian (Signet Classics)29 reviews
Owen Wister

Signet Classics, 2002

Cattle rustlers, Posses, Gunfights and Lynchings: "When you say that, smile."
This novel was dedicated to Theodore Roosevelt, a friend of the author, who had become the American President. TR had been a rancher and had chased outlaws some years earlier. If you ever wondered about all of the cliched situations that have been accepted conventions in repeated Western dime novels and movies, you will find all of them here, but it is worth remembering that these plot ...
  
  











  



  
Batman Unauthorized: Vigilantes, Jokers, and Heroes in Gotham City (Smart Pop series)2 reviews
Alan J. Porter, Chris Roberson, ...

Benbella Books, 2008

Great book!
This book is very good and the authors who write the essays on Batman have some interesting opinions on topics concerning him. Although, some of the essays are saying how Batman is just a novelty and he shouldn't be taken seriously. If you are a momentous Batman fan, like myself, you will not take kindly to these opinions. It shouldn't have honestly been in this book. But whatever. It's really ...
  
  











  



  
Devil's Peak: A Novel5 reviews
Deon Meyer

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Absolutely superb
First book I've read by this author and I will be reading them all. Action is fast paced and you have to put the book down and take a respite. Not for the faint of heart. When's the movie coming out will automatically be the question once you have finished this book. Principal character, Griesell, rivals Ian Rankin's Rebus. An alcoholic detective, an avenging former Stasi trained African freedom ...
  
  











  



  
Punisher MAX, Vol. 116 reviews
Garth Ennis, Lewis Larosa

Marvel Comics, 2005

Does not include "The End"
It's a fantastic book, which includes one of the best Punisher stoy arcs ever (In The Begining), but i thought that i'd let eveyone know that the post apocalyptic one shot The Punisher: The End is not in this book. But you can find it in the book From First To Last if you're trying to read it. Punisher MAX: From First to Last
  
  











  



  
In Broad Daylight24 reviews
Harry N. MacLean

St. Martin's True Crime, 2006

Live by the Sword! Die by the Sword!
Ken McElroy was one mean dude in Skidmore, Missouri. The book is very well-written and helps the readers understand how somebody like McElroy became a local menacing figure. He had fathered children with two women. No, it wasn't polygamous relationships. They stayed with him and raised their unusual family together. McElroy gets mad! Boy, does he get even! He has terrorized the town of Skidmore, ...

Sassy Cinderella and the Valiant Vigilante (Ruby Taylor Mysteries, Book 2)12 reviews
Sharon Dunn

Kregel Publications, 2004

A well-crafted, fast-paced read.
Starting with a mysterious nighttime intruder and ending with a deadly game of hide-and-seek on a university campus, Sassy Cinderella and the Valiant Vigilante constitutes a literary home-run for the author, Sharon Dunn. Throughout the fast-turning pages, Dunn successfully carries on the lightly woven threads of several storylines, only to tie them neatly together as the story comes to an end. ...
  
  











  



  
Manhunter Vol. 1: Street Justice (DC Comics)10 reviews
Marc Andreyko

DC Comics, 2005

Kate is great!
Forget Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. The real shining star at DC Comics is Manhunter, the coolest heroine since...well, EVER. What I love most about Kate is that she isn't the squeaky clean, self righteous, supermodel in spandex that we see so often in comic books. She makes mistakes that can get her killed. She can be quite ethically challenged. And while she's just as likely as ...
  
  











  



  
Outgunned: True Stories of Citizens Who Stood Up to Outlaws--and Won4 reviews
Robert A. Waters, John T. Waters

Cumberland House Publishing, 2004

More Lawlessness of West Revealed
Robert Waters has done it again! OUTGUNNED! reads like a sequel in subject matter to his previous books regarding self-protection of law-abiding citizens of America against ruthless criminals. Since I am a university history instructor, please indulge me to elaborate in this review. I truly appreciate all the effort that went into writing this informative book. Mr. Waters and his brother, ...
