Crime and Punishment (Signet Classics) 3 reviews Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Signet Classics, 2006
A Hard Read
+ One of my favorite books so far
This book is excellent but readers should take the time to read the Translator's Preface before jumping in. This will help to understand the names of the characters and other nuances that apply to a book translated from another language. The book is about redemption. It's worth the effort to get ...

Best PS2 game ever?

The game has incredible gameplay that no other game even comes close to! You can do almost anything; from playing a game of pool at a local bar, to flying jet planes thousands of feet in the air! You can even jump out of ...

Deception Point 186 reviews Dan Brown
Pocket, 2006
One of my favorite thrillers!
+ Has Some High Points But ....
I was already a fan of Dan Brown's from The Da Vinci Code & Angels and Demons, two books I absolutely loved & devoured. I don't think I have ever read books as fast as I read those two. They are brilliant. Deception Point has the same fast-paced style that keeps you turning the pages incredibly ...

Crimes Against Logic: Exposing the Bogus Arguments of Politicians, Priests, Journalists, and Other Serial ... 102 reviews Jamie Whyte
McGraw-Hill, 2004
Better logic can be fun
+ Logic as a way of life + critical thinking
This book is a gem!
As a retired professor, I am disappointed that so many universities no longer require such rigorous and unpopular courses as Logic, Economics, and Political Science. We see the results on election day.
Anyone who forms opinions or builds decisions will delight in this book. It ...

GOOD OMENS 2 reviews Neil & Pratchett, Terry Gaiman
Workman, 1990
Courtesy of Teens Read Too
+ Funniest thing I've ever read
I love this book! The first time I came across it, it was hidden in a corner in a bookstore. It cried out to me. I had to take it home. I laughed so hard that I cried, more than once. I loved it so much I gave it away. Which is an extraordinarily difficult thing for me to do. But it wanted to be ...

Havana Noir (Akashic Noir) 1 review

Beautiful and gritty
Beautiful and soooooooo gritty, this is a must-read if you're a mystery or noir fan, or if you just appreciate a really good story. The stories in the book are amazingly varied, and give incredible insight into a lot of different characters -- the desperate, the lonely, the morally bankrupt, the ...

The Girl in the Yellow Bikini 2 reviews Phillip Margolin
Amazon, 2006
Prompt indulgence
+ Pace-perfect, but left wanting for more...
The Amazon Shorts program allows swift, low cost indulgence - not that I'm a cheapie. Ok, perhaps a little. Once in a while I, nevertheless, experiment with writers new to me; once in a while they surprise me, thrill me. Phillip Margolin paints with words a memorable picture and a carefully ...

Grand Theft Auto IV 240 reviews

Much Fun
+ GTA4 Rules!!!!
The most enjoyable part of this game is being able to hunt down and attack your buddy online. :)
Try it seriously, open up party mode and use a set of rules. The person being chased can't just shoot the hunter. Think of the hunter as a terminator. My buddies and I have had many fun chase scenes. ...

The latest end is in Cabinda, a tiny Portuguese colony with gaily painted buildings and a history of slave-trading. Hoop should have a pleasant stay at the home of the local administrator - the beer, after all, is cold, and the women beautiful - but the other guests are an unpleasant mix of hangers-on, ...

The God Delusion 1250 reviews Richard Dawkins
Mariner Books, 2008
Truly Honest Review ~ Yes I Read The Book
It is my goal to provide an honest review of this book, as seen from my perspective. I appreciate what Dawkins says, from the viewpoint of his arguement. Dawkins also, surprisingly, admits that the existance of God is a 50/50 chance. He does, however, provide arguments for why he believes God is ...
