Already Dead: A Novel 55 reviews Charlie Huston
Del Rey, 2005
Vampire tales for a nihilistic world
+ Good book, but I need a break
Great book. Joe Pitt is a fantastic character. The writing is first rate. The plot moves along nicely. My only complaint (and its not big enough to knock the book off the five star rating) is that it is too short! Still, the author seems to put out sequels on such a regular basis that it ...

Yes, there are references to dog abuse and neglect, because the main protagonist, Amy, is deeply involved with Golden rescue. However, anyone that is a dog advocate knows these situations do occur and that ...

Midnight Rambler: A Novel of Suspense 61 reviews James Swain
Ballantine Books, 2007
Loved this book
I have read all of Mr. Swain's Tony Valentine books and enjoyed each of them. Then I picked up Midnight Rambler. What a surprise! The subject matter of this book is quite a departure from the Tony Valentine books. And while the other books were interesting, I found this book riveting. The pace ...

The Last Patriot: A Thriller 128 reviews Brad Thor
Atria Books, 2008
Brad Thor is outstanding
+ Ntl' Treasure Meets Clive
As far as thrillers go this was very good. The characters were deep and enthralling, keeping your interest all the way through. There was enough suspense to keep you turning the pages, and plenty of action. If you enjoy Lee Child`s Jack Reacher books then this will please you. I`m a series fan and ...

Has Dean Jumped the Shark?
Before anyone throws stones in my direction, I am one of those rabid fans who has read everything Dean has written. He is the one author who's books I purchase new automatically, the hardback version, the one where I have to plunk down some real bucks because I can't wait to enter Dean's world. ...

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 ...
