Dexter Part 3

+ In the Dark solid addtion to the series of Dexter
+ Dexter in the dark

This book in the Dexter series takes a different approach than the other 2 books. I read a lot of the reviews here, and I was almost tempted not to bother listening to the audio book version I had. However, its a great read and it delves into Dexter - who he is, why he is the way he is, and what ...

Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher, No. 12)279 reviews
Lee Child

Delacorte Press, 2008

Messing with G?d and war... still a MASTER!

First of all let me clarify something. There's clearly a campaign in Amazon against this book. You have hundreds of dismal reviews based on one thing only: Child messed with WAR PROFETEERING creeps! and the usual fascist monkeys came out to oppose this book. Pitiful. Specially from the ones ...

Harper, 2008

Thomas Lynley continues his journey

+ Careless in Red

....metaphorically speaking. This is a first for George. As with all of her stories featuring Thomas Lynley there is a crime which must be solved, but in this case the crime is really incidental to the main thrust of the story, which is Lynley's journey (both physically and emotionally ...

Corey Grace, a war hero and Republican senator, wants to be president. He's not sure if the time is right for someone like him, however: his party has been taken over by Bible-thumpers and the hard right, and he's moderate, an agnostic and 'soft' on gays. Events conspire to make him decide to run, ...

Denis Johnson

Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007

A Bright and Shining Truth

+ "War and Peace" for the United States

I've been a fan of Johnson for some time now. To me Johnson is the American Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Tree of Smoke struck me as quite a bit better than his earlier books (those that I read anyway.) Johnson has always attempted to inject philosophical and religious points into his narratives and ...

+ 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 ...
