John Grisham

Doubleday, 2008

Excellent gritty tale

+ The Appeal

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 Novel185 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.

Robert Crais

Simon & Schuster, 2008

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 ...
