Delacorte Press, 2008
I read it, and I liked it
I am surprised at the number of negative reviews on the 12th Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child. I enjoyed the book and as most Reacher fans look forward to the next in the series.

Sail 134 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 ...

The Memory Keeper's Daughter 864 reviews 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 ...

The Darkest Evening of the Year 207 reviews Dean Koontz
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 ...

Devil Bones: A Novel (Temperance Brennan Novels) 32 reviews Kathy Reichs
Scribner, 2008
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.

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 ...
