Sail134 reviews
James Patterson, Howard Roughan

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

The Patterson name must be a stamp.

James Patterson has written some memorable thrillers but Sail seems to be written by a ghost writer who is new (or tired) of the genre and pushed to this book on the masses using the Patterson label. Don't get me wrong, this is a quick and easy read, but the characters never seem to grasp the ...

Kim Edwards

Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006

A real page turner

+ Not a book for action/adventure lovers
+ The Memory Keeper's Daughter

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 ...

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' --

Bantam, 2007

Dog lovers and Koontz fans will treasure this

+ LOVED IT
+ More than just another mystery

Okay so I'm a dog lover but Koontz writes the best atmospheric suspense hands down and captures the persona of golden retrievers, making them into the heroes of the story. Amy's adventure is highlighted by the marvelous scenes with her pack of rescued goldens. And Niki is reminiscent of Einstein ...

She hit it out of the ball park again!

+ It's all right

Kathy Reichs is a genius! I honestly don't know how she does it all but I love her descriptions and the way she can use language to paint a picture. These books are so packed with science I can use them in the classroom to emphasize topics on Forensics as well as other basic science topics. I ...

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 ...
