Crazy is a good thing...

Happy Hour of the Damned is the first Amanda Feral book, the story of debutant Amanda Feral's journey from the living large to the realm of celebrity ghoul extraordinaire. Now I'll be bluntly honest here, even though I like the author, I don't LIKE Amanda Feral. I really don't think anyone is ...

Complex and engaging

+ A Book of Substance
+ Literary thriller trumps Da Vinci Code

I've noticed a wide variety of opinions posted about this book so I felt compelled to weigh in. I found it to be an engrossing tale that weaves together the stories of characters from Elizabethan England and contemporary New York with a terrific command of narrative and suspense. I very much ...

Multi-layered Story- Very Good

I really enjoyed my first Nicholson book, The Farm. There was a large cast of characters that were all multi-faceted and well thought out. Nicholoson keeps you guessing for a while on who the Antagonist actually is. I can't wait to read more of his books.

Gillian Flynn

Three Rivers Press, 2007

Wow -- what a debut!

+ Impressive

This is an extremely well-written and forceful book, especially for a first novel. There's nothing remotely tentative about this story of Chicago reporter Camille Preaker's return to her little southeast Missouri hometown to do a story on the murder of two local young girls less than a year apart. ...

Solaris, 2008

Awesome New Urban Fantasy Series

+ Good start to series
+ Super Reader

This story completely sucked me in and captivated me all the way through. I was completely immersed in the world that Mr. Gustainis has created here. Quincey Morris and Libby Chastain play off each other well and are great protagonists. The plot, pacing, danger, supernatural elements and story ...

Tor Books, 2007

Good start......horrible end

This book started off well. The action flew and the characters were interesting. Then it started to become tedious and fall apart. I think somewhere along the line the author forgot he was telling a story and started believing he was living this and reporting it. Anyways the last 1/3 of the book ...

Great page-turning fun!

+ Great story, not finished

I enjoyed this book and was really drawn in by the evocative descriptions of settings, both modern and historical. You really get the feeling of being there in the story, standing by the characters, seeing, smelling and hearing what they do. And the story had several twists I wasn't expecting at ...

Another Excellent Book by Preston

+ Tyrannosaur Canyon Rocks

Tyrannosaur Canyon is another great book by Douglas Preston. The characters are great. There's Tom Broadbent, who we got to know in "The Codex." We now meet Wyamn Ford. I love these two characters. Tom Broadbent's wife plays a big part in the story, too. She's a thorougly modern woman and displays ...

Pinnacle, 2005

An Original Work Of Genius

+ Some Great Moments But Too Long
+ Once you get by its stagnant opening, there's a lot to like.

I was leary to read this book based on the synopsis, fearing that it might be a cheesy, childish attempt to lump together fairy tales in a modern setting. In truth, this book is a wicked work of art that would make the Brothers Grimm shivver with fear. Early on in this novel, it becomes ...
