I highly recommend it.             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 ...             The Watchman: A Joe Pike Novel144 reviews Robert Crais Simon & Schuster, 2007 Dramatic, sucks you right in + The Watchman + Great as an audio book! + Great characters             Protect and Defend: A Thriller120 reviews Vince Flynn Atria Books, 2007 One of Flynn's Best + An Entertaining Read + Is there a difference between Flynn and Thor? + non stop action!             Wash This Blood Clean from My Hand (Chief Inspector Adamsberg Mysteries)8 reviews Fred Vargas Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007 Her Best Yet + Outstanding example of crime fiction + A clever, thought-provoking read This is Ms. Vargas's best mystery yet - I really enjoyed the twists and turns in it - highly recommended             Blood Work187 reviews Michael Connelly Grand Central Publishing, 2002 Not Random + Plot-Driven Murder Mystery with an Unusual Premise + Mystery novel with an interesting twist The hero in Michael Connelly's Blood Work is ex-FBI agent Terrell (Terry) McCaleb, who's recuperating from a heart transplant when Graciella Rivers steps onto his houseboat asking him to come out of retirement and find her sister's killer.

Unforgettable. Uncomfortable. Dark. + Noir with an overlay of black comedy             The Appeal454 reviews John Grisham Doubleday, 2008 A rebuttal to the 1 and 2 stars: Grisham a 1 or 2 star author - even Charlie Brown could do better than that on this book. I don't understand the very low reviews? Are you paying attention to the social issues included in this book? I grant you this is not his best book and not a 5 Star... but 1 and 2 stars is WAY off. As I ...             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.

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.
