It has elements of historical research, a thriller, a love story, a whodunit, a science fiction, and a ghost story, but it is not typical of any established genre. Its wide-ranging content, drawn from many different fields of intellectual ...             The Good Guy184 reviews Dean Koontz Bantam, 2007 THIS IS A GREAT BOOK + The Good Guy might just be a little too "goodie goodie" I have not read any Koontz for a while.

I very much ...             The Dangerous Days of Daniel X77 reviews James Patterson Little, Brown and Company, 2008 Daniel X I found Daniel to me an exciting and page turning book. Very enjoyable and well worth it.             The Reincarnationist66 reviews M. J. Rose Mira, 2007 Great page-turning fun! + Great story, not finished I enjoyed this book and was really drawn in by the evocative descriptions of settings, both modern and historical. You really get the feeling of being there in the story, standing by the characters, seeing, smelling and hearing what they do. And the story had several twists I wasn't expecting at ...             The Host: A Novel684 reviews Stephenie Meyer Little, Brown and Company, 2008 Beautiful Host + Suspense, love, and betrayal... + Interspecies Stockholm Syndrome No vampires appear in Meyer's latest novel, instead an alien species invades our planet and eventually the bodies of the human population.

Banks Orbit, 2008 A few responses to particularly dumb criticisms of Matter + Not quite up to the standard of his other books + Great story Critic: Its a long book. Isn't that a bad thing. Me: Boring is bad. Long is not. This isn't boring. Critic: It doesn't push the boundaries of sci-fi, therefore its lame. Me: Its interesting, creative, and intelligent. Thus by definition its pushing the boundaries of sci-fi. ...             You Suck: A Love Story132 reviews Christopher Moore Harper Paperbacks, 2008 Nosferattitude + Undead need a good laugh, too You Suck is the sequel to The Author Guy's foray into humorous, bizarro vamp-lit, and it's just as zany and enjoyable as its predecessor, Bloodsucking Fiends. I won't go too much into the story except to say that C. Thomas Flood is now forced to accept his newly acquired pale force, a first ...             Your Heart Belongs to Me Dean Koontz Bantam, 2008 From the #1 New York Times bestselling master of suspense comes a riveting thriller that probes the deepest terrors of the human psyche—and the ineffable mystery of what truly makes us who we are.

Before anyone throws stones in my direction, I am one of those rabid fans who has read everything Dean has written.

If a writer can convince me what they are writing about can really happen, I am hooked. I am going read more of Charles Stross.             Bloodline: A Repairman Jack Novel (Repairman Jack)37 reviews F. Paul Wilson Forge Books, 2007 One of the best in the series... + Solid Repairman Jack Novel + Series Just Keeps Getting Better Wilson is still going strong in his latest Repairman Jack book. If you like supernatural thrillers, like the X-files, you will love Repairman Jack. Not quite as much action as some of Wilsons other books, but the story more than makes up for this. It is a very hard book to put down.             The Judas Strain: A Novel111 reviews James Rollins William Morrow, 2007 Great book As usual, Rollins delevers a book full of action and thrills. The masterpiece that I have come to expect from his every release. A must read!!!!!!!!
