Alan Furst

Random House, 2008

My first but not last Furst

+ A Great Read
+ Outstanding historical fiction

The Spies of Warsaw is a wonderful and entertaining read. It hooked me very quickly, and I finished it in nothing flat. Alan Furst is a craftsman of the highest order. I've been analyzing novels rather seriously for almost two decades and this one is constructed as well as any I've read. I'm ...

I have been a long time fan of Thomas Perry, and Fidelity continues in his unique style. He is a master of character, suspense and clever plot twists. Excellent story telling - I couldn't put it down.

The Front210 reviews
Patricia Cornwell

Putnam Adult, 2008

The Front, Patricia Cornwall

This book is an example of the deteriorating standards of one of the finest thriller writers. The early Scarpeta books were superb but the last four or five titles have been dull, with weak plots. The main characters too have lost their spark and authenticity. The Front is not Scarpeta, but it ...

Michael Crichton

Avon, 2003

Not as Good as Microbe, But worth it.

+ Nice early work of Crichton

I read both this and Bill Clem's novel, Microbe, which has been compared to it, and I enjoyed Clem's book more. Not to say this wasn't good, but parts just fell flat for me, where in Clem's book, it's non-stop action and furious pace. Still I have to give it four stars for a great effort. if you ...

Odd Hours_Koontz

+ Odd Thomas Book 4 of 7

If you haven't read the previous Koontz novels with the character of Odd Thomas you might be little lost, although not so much to impact the story of this book. It will make curious to read the others. Odd Thomas is one the best characters developed by Dean Koontz!

Scripture says that the sins of the fathers are visited on the sons. The meaning of this verse is commonly taken to imply the consequences of sinful parenting.

Mary Higgins Clark

Pocket, 1993

I was totally sucked into this book!!!

+ A Cry In The Night, by Mary Higgins Clark

I've read a few of Clark's other books, and liked them, but I spend most of my time and money on non fiction books. My mom had this and brought it over to me as soon as she finished saying how great it was. She was right, I finished it that night! I felt so bad for her, getting herself stuck into a ...
