Berkley Hardcover, 2008
Great Book - Why? more of Anita Blake, can never be bad.
You are all Crazy, this book was great and I had to write a review just to offset all the negative ones on this site. If you are a Anita Blake series fan, love for this book will not be hard to find. And those who thought this book had too much sex, well it has less sex then some of the other ...

An over-the-hill porn star wants to go out with a (gang) bang, so arranges for a world record effort with 600 stout and hearty fellows, brave and true. A few of this cast of hundreds are there for more than their allotted 60 seconds of, ah, contact with the legend. She has deep ulterior motives, ...

Chasing Harry Winston: A Novel 116 reviews Lauren Weisberger

Not so great
I had issues with "The Devil Wears Prada" but it was much more fun and original than this. "Chasing Harry Winston" 's an ok read to kill time, but I found it aggravating how the characters are all perfect, beautiful, with great jobs and wonderful men ath their feet (that they don't seem ...

Crippled Dreams & Love and Madness 1 review David Rehak
CreateSpace, 2008
long-ago settings, timeless themes
These two novels in one now re-published are already separately reviewed a bunch of times, probably far more effectively than I ever could manage, but I just wanted to add one thing. I'm amazed by the economy of words, never is a word wasted on unnecessary prose. The plot moves the story for long ...

Totally Stumped Me
+ Great Book + WILL SOMEONE LET THE WOMAN SPEAK?
I am usually able to pick up on clues in Agatha Christie's books. This one totally stumped me. I did figure out where the jewels were hidden. I think that was pretty obvious. As to who the murderer was, I had no clue whatsoever. The setting for this book is a private girls school to which even ...

Although I am a fan of the series, I was hesitant to read this book because Cormia was not a favorite character of mine from the preceeding books. However, I am SO GLAD that I decided to read it anyways. In a ...

Cricket in New York
+ So beautifully written + A document of our time
This is a wonderful novel about the Trinidadian community in New York and the lingering effects on New Yorkers of the September 11 attack. I purchased the audio edition from Recorded Books. They always do an excellent job of choosing good readers.
