Les Miserables27 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 ...

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 Thinking967 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 ...

I absolutely loved this book. I abandoned all of my responsibilities for two days so that I could read The Time Traveler's wife without stopping. I have now recommended it to everyone I know. It's a little confusing in the beginning, but a good confusing, because the author makes you want to ...
