Outlander 1361 reviews Diana Gabaldon

OUTLANDER a novel on CD by Diana Gabaldon
+ It is...what it is. + Outlander
This is the start of the best series of books I have ever listened to.
It is very long, but keeps you wanting more. There is always tons of action, love, sex and humor. I highly recomend it for men and women.

Grand Central Publishing, 2005
Ist to Die
+ Start of new women-led murder series + Wonderful start to the series
This is the first in the Women's Murder Club series and it is the first James Patterson book I've read. He is a popular and prolific writer, and this thriller doesn't disappoint. It may not be great literature, but it is easy reading with very short chapters and it keeps the reader's interest to ...

Odd Hours 167 reviews Dean Koontz
Bantam, 2008
Excellent
+ Can not go wrong with Koontz... + Another Dean Koontz Oddity
As usual Dean Koontz is remarkable, this character Odd is a Hero and is such a kindhearted and very deep minded individual. A movie would be a hit, as is Dean and his dear Trixie.....and her book...Bliss.

Angels & Demons 2186 reviews Dan Brown
Pocket, 2006
Wild Ride
+ A good read + Angels and Demons Book Review
Dan Brown is a master of puzzles, and it shows in Angels and Demons.
Some people may balk at the unlikelihood of some of the situations in this novel, but I thought they were really interesting quagmires of danger with very clever solutions.
Even if there are inaccuracies in Angels and Demons, ...

No Country for Old Men (Vintage International) 427 reviews Cormac McCarthy
Vintage, 2007
I saw the movie first but really enjoyed the book
I'm a fan of the Coen Brothers, so their attachment to this book is what drew me to the movie first. I hadn't read Cormac McCarthy's other books, so this story was a nice introduction to his fiction and I look forward to delving deeper into his work.
The book is a modern-day western. My review ...
