The Spies of Warsaw: A Novel 65 reviews 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 ...

The Front 210 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 ...

The Andromeda Strain 378 reviews 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!

Pocket, 1993

+ 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 ...
