Dead Time 31 reviews Stephen White
Dutton Adult, 2008
"Dead Time" is a suspensful thriller for the older crowd.

PROS:
-Very thrilling! Very fast-paced book, you can expect to finish this book in 1-2 weeks.
-Intricate plot, ...

Forge Books, 2008
Oh Ye of Little Faith
I am a devout Christian - have been all my life. I am also a fan of Preston. I did not find anything in this book the least bit offensive. True, I am not an over the top Fundamentalist Christian, although I am sympathetic with them. It seemed to me that the characters that offended so many were ...

Compulsion (Alex Delaware, No. 22) 73 reviews Jonathan Kellerman
Ballantine Books, 2008
Very good read...
+ Middle of the Road for me.
Compulsion does follow along the same lines as all the Alex Delaware novels but, that's why we enjoy reading them right? I thought the book had a great flow that really kept me reading into the wee hours of the night. I think it had a good twist at the end, and really enjoy Milo's character, I ...

Where's Dirk
+ A Great Action Adventure in 19th Century West + Good read but factually erroneous
