Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher, No. 12) 279 reviews Lee Child
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 ...

Midnight Rambler: A Novel of Suspense 61 reviews James Swain
Ballantine Books, 2007
Loved this book
I have read all of Mr. Swain's Tony Valentine books and enjoyed each of them. Then I picked up Midnight Rambler. What a surprise! The subject matter of this book is quite a departure from the Tony Valentine books. And while the other books were interesting, I found this book riveting. The pace ...

Chasing Darkness: An Elvis Cole Novel (Elvis Cole) 71 reviews Robert Crais
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Great book, great series overall
+ Another great book
I had never read any books by Robert Crais prior to 2 months ago when I picked up Chasing Darkness. I had seen the name Elvis Cole here and there and thought any book with a PI named Elvis was probably going to be a joke, literally and figuratively. I am glad I overcame my own foolish ...

The Last Patriot: A Thriller 128 reviews Brad Thor
Atria Books, 2008
Brad Thor is outstanding
+ Ntl' Treasure Meets Clive
As far as thrillers go this was very good. The characters were deep and enthralling, keeping your interest all the way through. There was enough suspense to keep you turning the pages, and plenty of action. If you enjoy Lee Child`s Jack Reacher books then this will please you. I`m a series fan and ...

+ 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 ...

The Lemur: A Novel 10 reviews Benjamin Black
Picador, 2008
Short Book, Great Mystery
The book cover caught my eye first: a cloud of smoke obscuring the face of a young man. Then, the author's name. By now most avid fiction readers are aware that Benjamin Black is the pseudonym for John Banville, a respected and prize-winning author. I enjoyed Christine Falls, so some weeks ...

After Dark (Vintage International) 78 reviews Haruki Murakami
Vintage, 2008
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 ...
