The Shooters (Presidential Agent Novel) 53 reviews W.E.B. Griffin
Putnam Adult, 2008
Great read!
+ Another W E B Griffin Classic + Commentary on the Books of WEB Griffin
I don't know what some of the other reviewers are talking about, this was a great book. It delivered everything I've come to expect from a W.E.B. Griffin novel. I can't wait for the next volume.

Quicksand (Eve Duncan) 31 reviews Iris Johansen
St. Martin's Press, 2008
Another Iris Johansen winner
+ excellent
I'm a big Iris Johansen fan and this book did not disappoint me. Read Pandora's Daughter first, if you haven't already read it. You will understand the character of Megan so much better if you do. I loved the ending of Quicksand! I can't wait for the next book!!

Blasphemy 140 reviews Douglas Preston
Forge Books, 2008
If a book ever deserved 5 stars its this one!
+ Hard to Put Down for Anyone Interested in Religion and Science
Seriously I recommend you do whatever you can to get a hold of specifically the AUDIO BOOK version. The narrator was fantastic in the varous voices he created ranging from Navaho Indians, to a southern televangelist and even a Borne Agan Biker. His voice for Gregory North Hezalious was particularly ...

Patriot Acts 29 reviews Greg Rucka
Bantam, 2007
Above average thriller
+ Rucka Rocks
A slow start leads to a good action story. Atticus has changed a lot since his introduction. Not really the same guy. The plots have shifted focus also. But this time it feels ok. Politics infects everything. Greed is the sin. You will enjoy.

Black Out: A Novel 20 reviews Lisa Unger
Shaye Areheart Books, 2008
Another great one from Unger
+ Lisa Unger Is a Genius! This Is Wonderful Escapist Fiction
I read Lisa Unger's first novel `BEAUTIFUL LIES' and knew on the spot that she was to be a great addition to the mystery/thriller genre. A genre that is mostly comprised of men but with her third novel `BLACK OUT' I truly believe that Lisa has broken through that barrier and is definitely making a ...

Native Tongue 57 reviews Carl Hiaasen
Grand Central Publishing, 2005
Great Summer Read!
+ I smell a rat! + Preserving the environment
I love all Carl Hiaasen's books but this one is one of my favorites. Each one of Hiaasen's books about Florida have one native that is fighting to try to save some of Florida's natural habitat/animals. Native Tongue is about 'saving the endangered Blue-tongued Voles'. As the story unfolds we ...

I enjoyed this book
I think this was quite a good book, it kept you guessing on who the killer was. I like Kristi and her Dad, New Orleans Dectective Rick Bentz and I enjoyed how Kristi hooked up with a former boyfriend, Jay. All of the characters held my interest. I thought the book had a lot of twists and turns. ...

The Quickie 277 reviews James Patterson, Michael Ledwidge
Little, Brown and Company, 2007
Just a Little on the Side
+ Enjoyable Quickie
Here we have still another James Patterson Thriller, this one co-authored by Michael Ledwidge, who is a thriller writer in his own right, and I have to say, despite all the criticism I've heard of these shotgun delivery James Patterson novels, I've really liked the last two I've read and I really ...
