the best thriller I have read lately

+ excellent
+ Tonight You're Mine Book

I have been reading a lot of thrillers lately, and have decided that Carlene Thompson is by far my favorite writer in this genre. Her books are very well written. Her characters are much more intelligent and self reliant than most. I have been distracted and annoyed by the poor grammar, ...

A Beautiful, Heart-Wrenching Book: Don't Skip the Epilogue!!!

+ Though provoking - excellent read!

I loved this book! I can understand that some of the reviewers have qualms about this book not being a horror, because it's not. BUT, this is a fascinating, deep, emotionally-raw book. Isabelle was such an intriguing character. As I read along I felt like she was sharing her deepest, darkest ...

Fascinating Story

+ Must Read
+ Marvelous novel

I enjoyed this book from start to finish. It is a "meaty" story, filled with the history of the characters. There is also enough fact as to be educational and thought-provoking.

Go Parma Panthers!!!!!

What a fun departure from the legal, courtroom battles of John Grisham. If you have any interest in the pure game of football and any interest in Italy, these combinations end up a total winner. This really is a fun story of a down and out NFL quarterback who makes it good in Parma, Italy. Just ...

Evading the threat of human intimacy in immoderation

+ Into the Wild
+ I finished Wild quickly.

After watching and liking Sean Penn's movie version of this story, I didn't think I needed to read the book. My daughter told me otherwise. She said, the book has things that are missing in the film. And the book idolizes the hero less than the film does. She is right. Krakauer was first hired by ...

Good Extrapolation about the Future

I had never read any Charles Stross before. I found this to be a great book, well written with a nice, flowing style. The ideas about what the future will bring in the next few decades were believable and interesting, as was the story. A good read. I recommend it.

Hit and Run: A Thriller by Casey Moreton

+ Not your typical "Hit and Run"
+ Surprises around every corner

This has been one of the most entertaining books I have ever read. I just could not put it down until I had completely read it from start to finish---that's unusual for me. I have now read two books from this author and am hoping for a third. Sincerely, James Ferstl

Intelligent and sophisticated

I really can't understand the many negative reviews this intelligent and challenging book has received. I have never lived in New York, but I imagine that at least some of the critical opinions might arise from the unease and discomfort caused by Messud's too vivid, warts-and-all portraits of its ...

What happened to Marino?

I've always enjoyed Patricia Cornwell's books but this one leaves me feeling like I've just watched an episode of "Desperate Housewifes" with the ending "Tune in next week to find out what happened to Marino". Bad.
