Les Miserables 27 reviews Victor Hugo
Fawcett, 1982
The Greatest of Melodramatic Fiction
+ Les Miserables + History as literature
To say that they don't write them as they did in the past is a gross understatement. Even in translation and abridgment, nothing is lost in Hugo's epic melodrama. He, like Dickens, Flaubert, Thackeray, and others,employs chance and coincidence to move the plot line, but the richness of language, ...

Predator (Kay Scarpetta Mysteries) 454 reviews Patricia Cornwell
Putnam Adult, 2005
PREDATOR IS A FANTASTIC READ!
+ What's wrong with this book? + Predator
I just reread Predator to compare it to the more recent Book of the Dead by Cornwell. I absolutely loved Predator and have a feeling that the one star reviews from people on this board either 1) didn't get the point of the book, as it was a bit complex, or 2) are simply looking for some tired old ...

The Lord of the Rings (Collector's Edition) 1002 reviews J.R.R. Tolkien
Houghton Mifflin, 1974
Lord of the Rings Book Review
+ Amazing trilogy + Great book, great illustrations, great buy!
Hello there,
I am about half-way through the first book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy and I am loving it. I am amazed at how Tolkien is so descriptive in his writing and puts so much thought to it. The first one-hundred pages are a little rough, but after that it is impossible to put the ...

Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking 967 reviews Malcolm Gladwell
Little, Brown and Company, 2005
blink...and then it's gone
There's not much substance to this book. Rather than being a resource of information, it is merely a book of examples. There is no broad takeaway you can gather from it after reading except to say perhaps that many of our decisions are based on split-second thoughts. But did you really need to read ...
