Compulsion (Alex Delaware, No. 22) 72 reviews Jonathan Kellerman
Ballantine Books, 2008
An Old Friend. . .
+ Middle of the Road for me.
I have done a lot of Kellerman's books on audio; John Rubenstein is a superb reader. I purchased this Kellerman out of state while fleeing Hurricane Ike, and needed something to read in my motel room.
This is the latest in a long series of Delaware books, and the reader is assumed to know his ...

The Memory Keeper's Daughter 861 reviews Kim Edwards
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006
A real page turner
I am so stunned by all of the negative reviews on this book! I think I tend to be very critical of books, and have a very short list of favorites. I absolutely loved this book. I thought the characters were very well-developed, and the author's writing positively flowed. The relationships ...

Hold Tight 126 reviews Harlan Coben
Dutton Adult, 2008
Wow! I could not put this book down!
+ No Title + If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
I've been a big fan of Harlan Coben for some time now but I have to say that this has got to be one of his best books yet. From the first page I found I couldn't put the book down. The characters are so real and the feelings come across so strongly that I feel I'm right there in the mist of it all. ...

The Whole Truth 96 reviews David Baldacci
Grand Central Publishing, 2008
Another great read from Baldacci
+ Political fiction + A little too close to "the whole truth" for comfort
As usual David Baldacci does an excellent job of character development and making the plot understandable. Even though you know the good guys are going to come out ahead, there are enough twists and turns in the story to make some part of your brain doubt that and make you wonder what's going to ...

It was interesting to read so many different takes on this book. Perhaps some of you would be willing to look at some of my realistic futuristic thriller novels such as Pluto 2550 or Adam 2552. Maybe you would love a modern political, men's adventure, romance, thriller unlike no other, which is my ...
