She certainly knows how to write a page-turner and how to straddle the line between "serious" and popular fiction. So far I have read Plain Truth, Harvesting the Heart, My Sister's Keeper, and this novel, Salem Falls. My favorite is a toss up between ...             The World Made Straight: A Novel17 reviews Ron Rash Henry Holt and Co., 2006 A major voice in American letters + It hooked me. + I have a new RASH Few writers can expose the complexities in an array of characters like Ron Rash.

Algonquin Bay sits on a lake, surrounded by Northern Ontario rocky forests. There are the usual little crimes and petty injustices to deal with. One night, however, while on the discomforting task of ...             Little Children: A Novel237 reviews Tom Perrotta St. Martin's Griffin, 2006 Big Children + A- + Better than the movie! + suburban angst and the pain of parenting + Stunning Book - Hard to Put Down             The Machiavelli Covenant43 reviews Allan Folsom Forge Books, 2006 Entertaining from begining to end. + A Sharp Knock on the Door "The Machiavelli Covenant" was entertaining to say the least. It didn't waste any time drawing the reader in, which is something not enough books seem to do. Although the story was far fetched, it was action packed, and detailed vividly. Some of the narrating was repetitive, but I did appreciate ...             You Only Live Twice (James Bond Novels)207 reviews Ian Fleming Penguin (Non-Classics), 2003 "Welcome to Japan, Mr. Bond" + The weakest of the so called Blofeld trilogy... but still good reading. + YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE REMASTERED + This is the BEST BOND EVER!             Hide56 reviews Lisa Gardner Bantam, 2007 Excellent Thriller! + Run out to get this + another great read + Family on the run for unknown reason + Keeps You Guessing             The Zahir: A Novel of Obsession (P.S.)79 reviews Paulo Coelho Harper Perennial, 2006 All books by Paulo Coelho + The most beautiful book I have ever read + "A novel about obsesion, love, appreciation, living in the present moment and more" I absolutely love every book Paulo Coelho has written. I have not found another author that is truly as inspirational and moving. I loved the Zahir. My other favorites are Eleven Minutes, By the River Piedra I sat and Wept, and The Devil and Ms Prym.             Pig Island25 reviews Mo Hayder Atlantic Monthly Press, 2007 Another hit for Hayder!!! + Fast paced read, but don't think too much or you'll discredit the whole book I can't believe how Mo Hayder comes up with this stuff to write about. I have read all of her books and now am waiting for "Ritual" to come in the mail. This book's plot was just plain weird and crazy--not too much gore going on, but a whole lot of freak weaving its way through the book. Plot: ...             Sister Pelagia and the White Bulldog7 reviews Boris Akunin Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2007 A female Fr. Brown + Pyschological Profiles, Murder Mystery, and the Russian Folk + A sleuth in nun's habit + Akunin at his best             Joe College: A Novel61 reviews Tom Perrotta St. Martin's Griffin, 2006 Another winner from Perrotta + Fear of Failing + Stunning! + Funny, Engaging Coming-of-Age Tale             The Masada Scroll12 reviews Paul Block, Robert Vaughan Forge Books, 2007 Thought provoking + It's an adventure too Reviewed by Olivera Baumgartner-Jackson for Reader Views (3/07) Paul Block and Robert Vaughan joined the ranks of authors who recently wrote books on possible alternative history of Christian religion, the life of Jesus Christ, his disciples and the true meaning of some of the Church's ...             The Alexandria Link: A Novel111 reviews Steve Berry Ballantine Books, 2007 Entertaining, but unoriginal A well written novel that does well by drawing the reader into the story. But the premise is week and poorly researched. The author's understanding of Bibilical History and classical Hebrew are limited at best, as is his knowledge of the literarly devices commonly used in Classical Hebrew. ...             The Pale Horseman (The Saxon Chronicles Series #2)58 reviews Bernard Cornwell HarperCollins, 2006 The Pale Horseman + A Lusty Adventure Tale + Go Pagans! Cornwell grabs the readers interest from the very beginning and doesn't let go until the last page! His books are so well written that the reader feels a pang of regret as he nears the end of each of his books.             The Spy Who Loved Me (James Bond Novels)30 reviews Ian Fleming Penguin (Non-Classics), 2003 Surprisingly great novel + Fleming shows his Chandler's style or craftmanship... When I found out that the content of this novel was entirely different from the content of the Moore flick, I decided to read the novel, and boy, am I glad I did. This is a moving, exciting, totally absorbing book, with terrific characterization and surprising tenderness. I couldn't have asked for ...             The Last Juror533 reviews John Grisham Doubleday, 2004 good book + The Last Juror by John Grisham + Return to the fold + Not Grisham's Last
