City Of The Dead 105 reviews Brian Keene
Leisure Books, 2005
masterful
+ Has it's faults, but still a fun read + Good read - with a twisted ending
This is the best new horror writer I know of, and is up there with S.King and Dean Koontz in the privileged place of excellent horror writers.
There are also some humorous scenes, and is refreshing the unusual finale.

Children into darkness
(SPOILER WARNING!) As a father of a boy some years younger than the boy portrayed in the book I can't help feeling that the book touched an inner blind spot of myself. A father stands beside birth and doesn't possess the immediate emotional connection that mothers do as a source of comfort and ...

World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War 416 reviews Max Brooks
Three Rivers Press, 2007
Chilling....Perfect!
+ GET THIS BOOK
Wow!
After reading the Zombie Survival Guide, I was compelled to pick this book up. And let me tell you...I was riveted! I've read quite a few horror books, but this one had me one edge. The interview format was unique to me, and perfect for the storyline. Max Brooks has simply sold me, I'd ...

The Sun Also Rises 468 reviews Ernest Hemingway
Scribner, 2006
The novel that made me love Hemingway
+ The sun went up. We had a drink. The sun went down. We had another. + Rewards the Patient Reader
Hemingway wrote like a man that knew he was going to be big. I absolutely enjoyed this novel cover to cover. Typically, I try to avoid 20th century American Literature (I read more British literature) but I tip my hat to Mr. Hemingway after reading this novel.
I have read that because this is ...

Monster Island: A Zombie Novel 75 reviews David Wellington
Running Press, 2006
Same Old? Same Old? No!
+ Great concept, crumbles a little towards the end. + A solid and inventive zombie movie... er, book.
Okay, the zombies have taken over the world. There are a few humans left...only part of the zombies' food sources. But there are some twists in this book that take the zombie genre in new directions.
I enjoyed this book immensely...gets five chomps from me!

Galapagos (Delta Fiction) 112 reviews Kurt Vonnegut

better twenty years later
+ A generous 4 stars for Vonnegut
Sometime in the late Eighties I read this book, started it anyway, and remember not being very impressed and putting it aside without finishing it. I had cause recently to buy the book again, for someone else, and found myself rereading it with great enjoyment. Maybe it's because it's been more ...
