Dead Time31 reviews
Stephen White

Dutton Adult, 2008

"Dead Time" is a suspensful thriller for the older crowd.

+ Dick Hill is a great reader.... however,

Thrilling, cliffhanger novel. I've never read any of Stephen White's novels before but the nice cover and "New York Times Best selling author" definetely attracted me to this book. PROS: -Very thrilling! Very fast-paced book, you can expect to finish this book in 1-2 weeks. -Intricate plot, ...

I loved this book. I also loved the book itself, the size is easy to hold with my arthritic hands, and easier to read with the larger pages.

Nevada Barr's "Winter Study"

Anna Pigeon has a Winter Study (Anna Pigeon Mysteries)rather tumultous series of experiences in this book - more than "usual" but held interest and was a 'good read' --

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 ...

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 ...
  
  











  



  
The Appeal442 reviews

Palin?

+ The Appeal by John Grisham
+ Modern Day David and Goliath story

The rise of this judge reminds me an AWFUL lot of Palin's recent entry to the political scene. Out of nowhere, with a wholesome background and almost no political experience, she gets propped up by the good ol' senator and a smarmy political team...hmmm...did McCain read this?

Great story. The whole time I was reading it I kept waiting for Dirk to arrive. Even though he didn't appear, this was a fun filled, can't pull the book down, adventure.
