Hannibal Rising 364 reviews Thomas Harris
Delacorte Press, 2006
Hannibal Rising - What War Has Wrought
This book is everything I hoped it would be: a penetrating look into the making of the character Hannibal Lecter. As other reviewers have stated, one is not born evil; experiences conspire to make one evil. Imagine yourself in Hannibal's shoes as that 10-year-old boy, and tell me you would not be ...

The Godfather's Revenge 31 reviews Mark Winegardner
Putnam Adult, 2006
Loved the book, but
+ "Pull over, will ya? I gotta take a leak." + A novel you can't refuse?
This book is a pageturner. I stayed up most of the night reading it, even though I'm recovering from surgery, but... I figured out the ending, which I thought was quite predictable.But still, a very good read.

The Codex 134 reviews Douglas Preston
Forge Books, 2003
A Good Read on All Levels
+ Great book + Nice Jungle Adventure
Douglas Preston, alone and in co-authorship with Lincoln Child, always provides the very best in reading plesure. However, in my opinion, The Codex is in a category by itself. It is the most satisfying "read" I believe I have ever enjoyed.

Dutton Adult, 2004
Terrific Book
+ A minor observation + Deal Breaker
I thought this book would be a very long legal trial, but it wasn't, and I enjoyed it very, very much. It had me turning the pages as fast as I could, and was very difficult to put down.
