Case Histories: A Novel 145 reviews Kate Atkinson
Back Bay Books, 2005
A great story filled with interesting characters
+ Much easier to read than I thought + A read-again book
Read all the reviews you like, but a better use of your time is to get and read this book. Now in paperback, it is affordable, cleverly written contemporary fiction. I bought this book on a bargain table as a present and it turned out to be a steal. Atkinson's prose is definitely a cut above ...

State of Fear 1274 reviews Michael Crichton
Avon, 2005
Unfair Negative Reviews Grounded in Politics
+ Very Engaging Read + State of Accuracy
Politically motivated negative reviewers give this book low ratings because they disagree with the author's premise, not because of any literary deficiency in the book.

Murder at The Washington Tribune: A Capital Crimes Novel (Capital Crimes) 14 reviews Margaret Truman
Ballantine Books, 2005
A Departure from Traditional Truman
+ A Great Mystery that keeps you guessing to the very end + what snot to like?
I found this book to be a bit of a departure from Truman's other novels and I have to say I really enjoyed it and found it to be a breath of fresh air. Not that Truman's other novels aren't spectacular, they really are! This book however is quite special in that the main character turns takes a ...

The Camel Club 242 reviews David Baldacci
Grand Central Publishing, 2005
The Camel Club is cool!
+ Great series + Really enjoyed this one...
The Camel Club is cool. They're an odd group of conspiracy theorists, led by Oliver Stone, on a quest for the truth.
Baldacci weaves quite a tale that keeps your attention and is full of twists and turns.
I thought this was a great mystery thriller with a bunch of interesting characters.

13 Steps Down 45 reviews Ruth Rendell
Crown, 2005
Suspenseful but too fussy...would have made a better short story
In a nutshell...a very readable story with lots of "Oh they're bound to catch him now" moments; so good as far as suspense goes but a let down at the end in that it just well, ended...nothing remarkable at all.
I felt the book was too padded out with stuff that was really irrelevant, like the ...
