Clive Cussler

Berkley, 2004

Excellent Book!

+ I enjoyed it!
+ Great Sea Adventure

Nobody writes em like Clive Cussler...sort of like James Bond meets Jacque Cousteau. Excellent book for history and science lovers...and there is always a twist...can you spot Clive Cussler's character in the book? I love that part...he always inserts himself into his work. I know of no other ...

The Sleeping Doll: A Novel (Kathryn Dance Novels)81 reviews
Jeffery Deaver

Simon & Schuster, 2007

Excellent

+ Sleeping Doll fun & "fictionally real"!
+ action twisty twisty twist and more action

Full of twist, turns and suprises. It is one of the best books I've read in a long time, though a bit too wordy, otherwise an excellent book. I thought Katherine and Michael were great lead characters. The tension between the two -- romance but can't because he's married -- made the book much ...

Cormac McCarthy

Vintage Books, 2007

Riveting, Spare, and Great

+ Living with No Hope
+ Awesome read

This is a great book that is also an absorbing and easy read. The brutal and brilliant simplicity of the book is remarkable. McCarthy imagines the world after the nuclear apocalypse in which everything is stripped away and then asks, "what's left?" In part, the answer is the kind of evil ...

Matthew Reilly

Simon & Schuster, 2005

Great Summer Read

Come on people, of course this isn't classic literature, but it is fast paced, easy to follow and full of adventure. A great read for the beach or a rainy day. It reminds me of Clive Cussler and Jack DuBrul, 2 of my all time favorites. Give it a chance, you won't be sorry. I am in the middle of ...

Just READ IT!

+ Couldn't put it down!

Everyone has their own opinions, and this is mine. Excavation is one of the most unique, interesting, and thrilling books I've ever read. And I've read thousands of books through my life. Does that age me? lol James Rollins has the gift of making an unrealistic plot seem totally real. A very ...

I bought this book on complete impulse. I was buying another book and saw a huge display behind the cash counter. I'd heard some buzz from the movie (I remembered that this was the movie that had taken the place of the next Harry Potter movie) and asked the cashier about the book. She glowed and ...

Book of a Thousand Days54 reviews
Shannon Hale

Bloomsbury USA Children's Books, 2007

Fine Fairy Tale Revisited Option

+ Simple read

Hale has mastered these other kingdoms so unlike our own, yet so familiar. Book of a Thousand Days brings to life a little known Grimm's tale (not for the Disney-hearted) and a way of life from long ago, far away. However, the book resonates with teens who are beginning to question social order, ...

Map of Bones is a fast paced thrill ride. I loved it. The book is a little too long, but all in all, I couldn't get enough. This is the second book in the Sigma series. The first book, Sandstorm, is not as good, and most of the central characters are introduced in Map of Bones and not in the ...
