The Appeal 449 reviews John Grisham

Excellent gritty tale
+ The Appeal + Clarion Call For Judicial Reform
Intelligent, thought-provoking, and well-told thriller grounded firmly in the political landscape around us. Definitely worth a read, as it will ignite thought and conversation for a while afterward.

No Country for Old Men (Vintage International) 429 reviews Cormac McCarthy
Vintage, 2007
No Man's Land
+ Well written with disturbingly unique character
It wasn't a country for old men or anybody else, for that matter, if you happened to be in the wrong place at the right time and saw too much - or dared to take that which seemed up for grabs in unique opportunity. Cormac McCarthy has done a superb job in taking us inside the bloody, ruthless and ...

Grotesque (Vintage International) 45 reviews Natsuo Kirino
Vintage, 2008
Spoiled by last section
A long book, written in several autobiographical sections narrating the action from contradictory points of view. It's an innovative and engaging structure.
For me, this novel had three distinct parts.
(1) commentary on Japanese treatment of women as students and professionals, with a focus ...

Change of Heart: A Novel 185 reviews Jodi Picoult
Atria, 2008
excellent book
+ Overall solid Picoult
This is one of the best books I have read. It reminds me of The Green Mile. She tells this story from different viewpoints. She includes ideas from a rabbi, a priest and the gnostic scriptures. Her characters are well developed and believable. I loved this book and did not want it to end.

Great book, great series overall
+ Another great book
I had never read any books by Robert Crais prior to 2 months ago when I picked up Chasing Darkness. I had seen the name Elvis Cole here and there and thought any book with a PI named Elvis was probably going to be a joke, literally and figuratively. I am glad I overcame my own foolish ...
