The Devil's Labyrinth: A Novel 28 reviews John Saul
Ballantine Books, 2007
The Devil's Labyrinth
+ i loved it!!!!!!!!!
I am a very big fan of John Saul's work. I think that he takes evil in it's purest form and has no problem making it tangible. Many authors would rather have a psychological edge, never letting the reader "see the monster".
In this book, John Saul again creates an evil that is completely ...

The Darkest Evening of the Year 186 reviews Dean Koontz
Bantam, 2007
Not a Koontz Best
The book had heart, suspense, and terror, but it lacked a little something. I'm not sure what. I believe, maybe, more convincing characters. Yes, these characters were all very much like Koontz characters, wonderfully wierd, each in their own way, but I didn't buy into all of their personalities, ...

The Dangerous Days of Daniel X James Patterson
Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Daniel's secret abilities -- like being able to manipulate objects and animals with his mind or to recreate himself in any shape he chooses -- have helped him survive. But Daniel doesn't have a normal life. He is the protector of the ...

Thirteen 58 reviews Richard K. Morgan
Del Rey, 2007
Well Crafted Novel
+ Another hard core SF novel from Richard Morgan
Thirteen, by Richard K. Morgan, is an extremely well crafted novel about life in the near future. Humans have colonized Mars, though by all reports it's not a very pleasant place to live. Humans have also toyed with genetic alteration of themselves, producing several variants, one of which is the ...

Mister B. Gone 68 reviews Clive Barker
HarperCollins, 2007
Idiot reviewers
+ Do not Start Your Barker Experience with this Book, but Still an Enjoyable, Satirical Read. + Great read - quick, funny, fun.
I've read many of Barker's novels, and this has been a fun ride. Aside from The Thief of Always or his short fiction, it has been his easiest and most fun story to read.
Several reviews have complained about different typographical errors in the book. If any of them would actually use their ...

The Book of Air and Shadows 82 reviews Michael Gruber
William Morrow, 2007
World Of Men, Women and Books
There is such a thrill as a reader when one finds a "new author!"
I loved this book. Not in the way one goes insane as with the "DaVinci Code." And I do hope Dan Brown does another something. But this book
was anomalous, at least in my world. It was a man talking about men.
There are all kinds ...

Ghostwalk 48 reviews Rebecca Stott
Spiegel & Grau, 2007
The Best of Ghost and Conspiracy Combined
+ Intelligent, captivating...
I enjoyed this book much more than I expected, based on the jacket.
I'm a sucker for ghost stories, and Stott weaves in enough creepy, surreal moments to keep me from reading this book before bedtime. She keeps the story behind the ghosts vague enough to let the imagination run wild but still ...

Mina 1 review Marie Kiraly
Berkley Trade, 2007
This vampire tale is anemic.....
Yet another example of never judge a book by its cover (or the cover synopsis). 'Mina' looked very promising and yet failed to deliver on practically every level.
I will not give major spoilers in this review but nothing of even moderate interest occurs until around page 200 or so and from ...
