Naked Came the Manatee50 reviews Carl Hiaasen, Dave Barry; et al. Ballantine Books, 1998 Crazy good read! + The Bare Facts! I had a lot of fun reading this mess of a book, but if you are looking for a 'normal' novel then you might want to run the other way. This is NOT a book to be taken very seriously (and if you try then you'll probably end up hating it). It's like the pass a long stories you wrote with friends back ...             Angels: A Novel19 reviews Denis Johnson Harper Perennial, 2002 A Life of Wonders... + Resuscitation of a gassed man + One of the Best Books Out There + Johnson before he really opens up             Full Scoop (Janet Evanovich's Full Series)32 reviews Janet Evanovich, Charlotte Hughes St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2006 Fun, Suspense and Romance + Exciting! If you are looking for deep literature, this series is not for you. But if you want fun and adventure, mixed in with some romance, then by all means read the "Full" series by Janet Evanovich and Charlotte Hughes. Full Scoop is another fun addition to the series, this time focusing on pediatrician ...             Infected: A Novel193 reviews Scott Sigler Crown, 2008 LOVING IT!!! + "The Ouchie I can hold in my Hand" and other tales of the terrible + Wow! + Unrelenting alien invasion             Tree of Smoke: A Novel92 reviews Denis Johnson Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2007 A Bright and Shining Truth + "War and Peace" for the United States I've been a fan of Johnson for some time now. To me Johnson is the American Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Tree of Smoke struck me as quite a bit better than his earlier books (those that I read anyway.) Johnson has always attempted to inject philosophical and religious points into his narratives and ...             Robert Ludlum's The Cassandra Compact: A Covert-One Novel (Covert-One)36 reviews Robert Ludlum, Philip Shelby St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2002 Really impressed + Another enjoyable thriller! + Amazing Book + The Cassandra Compact: A Covert One Novel             The Resuscitation of a Hanged Man11 reviews Denis Johnson Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1991 Outstanding book... + Eerie and compelling book This book was quite enjoyable. It is impossible not to get submerged into the story, Johnson hooks you and never lets go. Denis Johnson is a master of the English language. It seems like every word is necessary for the story. Johnson has a focus on providing the reader a well-written novel that ...             Fiskadoro10 reviews Denis Johnson Harper Perennial, 1995 Post-Modern Popul Vuh ? + I don't know what es + It Needed Something More + Assume the Apocalypse + Existence and Memory at the World's Ends             Robert Ludlum's The Arctic Event (Covert-One)38 reviews Robert Ludlum, James Cobb Grand Central Publishing, 2007 agreat thriller + Ludlum's legacy + Audio Book Version is Very Entertaining + Almost As Good As An Original + Feel the heat...             Survivor: A Novel385 reviews Chuck Palahniuk Anchor, 2000 Survivor: A Novel + Great + amazing imagination Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk ***** Survivor is the story of where it all went wrong. The point in our lives where we have all had choices to make. The choices that affect the rest of our lives. Survivor is the search for something far and something big, maybe something bigger than all of us, it ...             The Street Lawyer1054 reviews John Grisham Delta, 2005 masterpiece + Ideals lost and regained + Just a step away I just dont understand why some people could call this work boring or disappointing. to me it is probably grisham's best (together with "painted house". human, down on earth...I just wished I could be a lawyer to be able to do the same. just hope to get grisham's book on kindle someday.             Sick Puppy229 reviews Carl Hiaasen Grand Central Publishing, 2005 It made me smile + Sharp commentary and comedy I smiled as I read this book. I laughed out loud many times. I liked it. My review isn't much to go on, but it's my opinion and when you boil down all the crap in all reviews, whether good or bad, that's all they are...just subjective opinions. My opinion is all that matters...trust me. HA!             Wife for Hire35 reviews Janet Evanovich Harper, 2007 Who would have thought I guy would hire a wife + Hilarious + New fan! You could sort of figure out some the plot but the characters did not seem to understand what was happing. You just knew if the guy hired the woman to pretend to be his wife that he would evently marry her. But the author kept that the story going.             The Prometheus Deception160 reviews Robert Ludlum St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2001 A Fast Read for 509 Pages. + Not Free SF Reader + All of Ludlum's trademark qualities on display The author can write is a huge understatement, the man has style. His descriptions of events, places, & persons can make the reader feel like he/she is there experiencing{breathing, smelling, & seeing it}, what he is reading. He deserves 3 stars just for that. Good action, but not in the over the ...             Full Tilt (Janet Evanovich's Full Series)109 reviews Janet Evanovich, Charlotte Hughes St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2003 Fun and Laughs + Light humorous read with glamour to spare + Full series Why 5 stars? Let me start by saying that I don't normally read this type of book, but I needed something light and funny and decided to give the "Full" series a try. For the type of book that it is, I loved it. Some might call it stupid and simple, and they wouldn't be wrong. Is it believable? Of ...             The Summons744 reviews John Grisham Doubleday, 2002 Surprisingly Literary + After Twists & Turns comes one engrossing plot with surprise end This book has produced a mixed bag of reviews, like any substantial work. I rarely read thrillers, although I loved the immersion of "workaholism" that drenches the first third of The Firm. The Summons is a good and serious read. It's depiction of the Deep South rings true and the characters are ...             The Scarlatti Inheritance17 reviews Robert Ludlum Bantam, 2007 Outstanding book that keeps you thrilled + Ludlum's First + A very Interesting Read Other reviews listed here complain about the pace, development and plotting of this novel. I'd have to say many people are spoiled by some of today's works in that most events are telegraphed to the reader and it ends up being like a typical action movie ... thin and unmoving. To me this book is ...             Basket Case12 reviews Carl Hiaasen Mysterious Press, 2005 Darkly funny and wildly entertaining + A lot of fun + My first Carl, of many + Laugh, laugh more, and laugh again! + Surviving the Winter Blues             Haunted: A Novel103 reviews Chuck Palahniuk Anchor, 2006 wow I thought that this book was entertaining, novel, and well written. It tells a frame story beautifully, although beautiful is not really the right word at all. Not only was it thought provoking, but it provoked a strong reaction in general, a trait that is losing strength in literature today. ...             Flush116 reviews Carl Hiaasen Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2007 A YA book that adults can proudly read too + sewage and hijinx in the Florida Keys; fun stuff! + Great book on CD + Flush is a great book! + Kids like it because it is about toilets.
