The Memory Keeper's Daughter849 reviews Kim Edwards Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006 A book written by a woman to women (and maybe guys too) It was based on a similar concept of "Namesake", another contemporary book written by a woman, ie, that men has something terrible to hide from their spouses. :-) For guys it may be hard to relate to the characters, but even so I recommend it. Mainly because the book is fairly well written. I ...             The Finder: A Novel14 reviews Colin Harrison Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008 Brutally intelligent.... + Stock markets function on the quaint theory that they are effective + Lost and Found + Harrison's Best in Awhile + a writer with something to say             The Silver Swan: A Novel23 reviews Benjamin Black Henry Holt and Co., 2008 Depressing, Moody and Good The Silver Swan takes place in the mid-fifties with character Quirke who is a pathologist.

If you have scored this book anything lower than 5 stars, you have temporary insanity! Picoult engages the reader from the very first page and does a phenomenal job going from different characters which share the same story lines: Jamie and Maggie; Allie and Cam; and Cam and Mia.

Fast-paced, beautifully written and always interesting, this one takes all of Connolly's characters and puts them in a medly of action and suspense. And this time, instead of being from Charlie Parker's point of view, the book tells the ...             Santa Fe Dead23 reviews Stuart Woods Putnam Adult, 2008 Woods is Back on Track + Light Read-Fun Story + An exciting story even if a bit far fetched + GREAT!!!!             Desperation Moon25 reviews Ken Douglas Bootleg Press, 2003 Mucho Desperation in this Finely Tuned Thriller + Non-Stop Action + A New Fan + A Book I Could Not Put Down             Killer Heat28 reviews Linda Fairstein Doubleday, 2008 A killer hot legal thriller + An Outstanding Mystery and a Great Thriller too + Another great book by Linda Fairstein I love the Alex Cooper books both because they are great legal thriller and because of the New York history lessons Linda Fairstein includes as part of the plot.

This is the first book I read of Jodi's. I loved it it was a page turner from the start.

Although the two are stylistically similar, if I did not know beforehand, I would have never suspected they were written by the same author -- The Whole Truth is much, MUCH better. The Collectors was good "fluff." Well ...             Change of Heart: A Novel171 reviews Jodi Picoult Atria, 2008 more of a homage than a copy + A page turner. When I read this book I did not get the sense that Picoult was copying Stephen King, but rather taking the issues raised in The Green Mile and giving them a more contemporary twist. At one point she even refers to the book when someone in the prison calls Shay "Green Mile". Just because a story ...             Careless in Red: A Novel112 reviews Elizabeth George Harper, 2008 1st Half: Who's the author? 2nd Half: She's back! (both Havers and EG) + The reluctant return of Lynley I have read all the Lynley-Havers books and (with one exception) have been a huge fan of the stories and the writing style.
