Spoiled by last section

A long book, written in several autobiographical sections narrating the action from contradictory points of view. It's an innovative and engaging structure. For me, this novel had three distinct parts. (1) commentary on Japanese treatment of women as students and professionals, with a focus ...

Book Purchase

+ Loved it!

I received my book as promised, in excellent shape, got it very quickly. In fact, I got my copy before the library had their new copy. Amazon and associates have treated me with each order, very quick, very well and I love them!

Mesmerizing

+ Superb.
+ Intriguing, but with too many loose ends.

I think this is the most down-to-earth novel by Mr. Murakami that is published now but with a touch of his earliest novels. I admire his recent novels but I also love his previous ones. This one has that mysterious, voyeuristic, supernatural, surrealist feeling of his recent novels but somehow, the ...

Thomas Lynley continues his journey

+ Careless in Red

....metaphorically speaking. This is a first for George. As with all of her stories featuring Thomas Lynley there is a crime which must be solved, but in this case the crime is really incidental to the main thrust of the story, which is Lynley's journey (both physically and emotionally ...

+ mystery book review
+ Should Be Six Stars

John Hart really can tell a tale! I find it hard to put his books down. If this is only his 2nd book, we are in for a literary treat. His style is up there with Grisham, only better. I highly recommend this book as a good mystery, a real page turner! I felt like I was there with the ...

Delacorte Press, 2008

Messing with G?d and war... still a MASTER!

First of all let me clarify something. There's clearly a campaign in Amazon against this book. You have hundreds of dismal reviews based on one thing only: Child messed with WAR PROFETEERING creeps! and the usual fascist monkeys came out to oppose this book. Pitiful. Specially from the ones ...
