books: literature & fiction - top sellers ...     books:       Under the Dome: A Novel135 reviews Stephen King Scribner, 2009 My New Favorite King "Under The Dome" is fantastic, and replaces "Desperation" as my favorite King novel (which in turn replaced "The Stand"). Unlike some King fans, I've liked the recent, more literary King. After all, if an artist doesn't change, they grow stale. King has been very good at not becoming stale. That said, while there are still some literary elements in this tale, this is certainly a rip-roaring ...             Treason (Navy Justice, Book 1)80 reviews Don Brown Zondervan, 2005 Great Read Couldn't believe how the first few paragraphs grabbed my attention and then from there it was don't talk to me I'm reading.

Brown's writing is engrossing and compelling. Once started I've found 'Hostage' impossible to put down. Am already looking forward to reading two others of his books that I downloaded on my Kindle. A highly recommended read - despite the review by the defender of any and all practitioners of the Islamic faith. I think the tragic event several weeks ...             The Help1179 reviews Kathryn Stockett Amy Einhorn Books/Putnam, 2009 Amazing This book was the best I've read in quite some time. Stockett captures the compexities and intimacies of the realtionships between white and black women in a way that is so real. I am not a professional book reviewer. I just know a good, well written, honest book when I read one...and this is it! It is well worth your time!             The Pawn (Patrick Bowers)55 reviews Steven James Onyx, 2009 Unexpected and outstanding I was given a copy of this book over a year ago by a friend and tossed into the "not-yet-read" pile. I almost dismissed this book as just another cop-thriller. How unexpected; it was original, very creative with a rich cast of characters and a plot that grew deeper as the story progressed. Very much like real people the characters were layers of complexities, each with strengths, weaknesses, ...             I, Alex Cross29 reviews James Patterson Little, Brown and Company, 2009 How nice to have Alex Cross back, thank you Patterson! This book was a good read, like coming home with the Cross family all over again. I appreciated the family being involved (kind of like an old set of friends reuniting after reading all his other books!)and the mystery was classic Patterson style. It moved, kept my pages turning, for sure, through some gruesomeness that was a bit challenging to read, but needed to develop the sick nature of the ...             Help1179 reviews Kathryn Stockett Putnam, 2009 Amazing This book was the best I've read in quite some time.

I've enjoyed all of Malcolm Gladwell's single-subject books, so I thought I'd give this collection of his articles a chance even though I often find compilations like this to be a let down. I'm positively thrilled I read it. The only drawback may be that my friends and family must be sick to death of listening to me talk about it. A number of things make the book a real standout.
