The Appeal 454 reviews John Grisham
Doubleday, 2008
A rebuttal to the 1 and 2 stars:
Grisham a 1 or 2 star author - even Charlie Brown could do better than that on this book. I don't understand the very low reviews? Are you paying attention to the social issues included in this book? I grant you this is not his best book and not a 5 Star... but 1 and 2 stars is WAY off. As I ...

The Turnaround 34 reviews George Pelecanos
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
Redemption
+ Story of redemption - not a "whodunnit". + Make New Memories with Pelecanos
The streets and sounds of the nation's Capitol always play a central role in a Pelecanos novel and "Turnaround" is no exception. The plot covers three decades in the lives of six men, three white and the others black. In 1972, they were teenagers living in separate worlds but one event joined ...

You've Been Warned 412 reviews James Patterson, Howard Roughan
Little, Brown and Company, 2007
REALLY SCARY
+ Awsome book!!! but not for everyday Patterson fans
I found this to be be one scary book. I almost finished it last night. I couldn't though because it was dark. I am a huge fan of Koontz and this read is truly in competition with Koontz's most terrifying. I was sorry to see some of the not so great reviews because I loved the storyline, cast ...

The Lemur: A Novel 10 reviews Benjamin Black
Picador, 2008
Short Book, Great Mystery
The book cover caught my eye first: a cloud of smoke obscuring the face of a young man. Then, the author's name. By now most avid fiction readers are aware that Benjamin Black is the pseudonym for John Banville, a respected and prize-winning author. I enjoyed Christine Falls, so some weeks ...
