Brandon Sanderson
Tor Books
, 2009
Exceeds all expectations
When Robert Jordan died in 2007, an abrupt end seemed to have come to the popular Wheel of Time series. Jordan had only been able to write a small part of the book that was going to bring all the different storylines and characters together and mold it into a beautiful finish. Until Tor Books - along with Jordan's wife, Harriet - contacted Robert Sanderson to finish the Wheel of Time. ...

A Kiss of Shadows (Meredith Gentry, Book 1)
331 reviews
Laurell K. Hamilton
Ballantine Books
, 2002
An Excellent Adult Fae Dark Urban Fantasy Romance
There are over 300 reviews for this book already, so my review will be brief. I've never read anything from this author before but decided to take advantage of the free download from Kindle. Even though I'm sure some of the complaints concerning Laurell's writings have merit; I let a lot of the negative reviews surrounding Laurell's books get in the way of me discovering a fantastic author. If ...

V.K. Forrest
Kensington

But when the clan needs him close by, Fin agrees to take a summer job on the town's tiny police force. He expects little excitement - until he meets Elena, an ethereal Italian beauty.

Elizabeth Moon

, 2004
Solid Character-based Space Opera
Although I am a fan of space opera, I've improbably managed to avoid reading the novels of Elizabeth Moon until now.A friend finally convinced me to take the plunge, and begin here, with her first Vatta novel. I am glad that I did. Set in a space opera universe of FTL travel, ansibles for FTL communication, and a balkinized polity of trading planets, pirates, mercenary companies and more, ...
Sookie Stackhouse 8-copy Boxed Set (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood)
33 reviews
Charlaine Harris
Ace
, 2009
Can read over & over.
This set of books is a real treat. Each book is so hard to put down, you can't wait to see what is in store for Sookie in the next book. Even after reading through the series one time -- it is easy to pick up book one and start the series all over again.
The Hunger Games

Suzanne Collins
Scholastic Press

Best Book I've Read in a While
Where do I start? Well, When I first read the synopsis of this book, I immediately thought of the Japanese move Battle Royale. The idea of teenagers being put into a fight to the death was the same, so I put off reading it for a long time. Big mistake. I can't believe I deprived myself of this book! The characters were very well developed and believable. There is action, violence, and a little ...

Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
, 2008
Gripping to the end..couldn't put the book down
I have to say that I liked the book and where the author went with the story. I read it quickly as I couldn't put it down and felt pulled into the story. For me, I found this the best book of the series as this was the only time I felt that I couldn't put the book down. I found the story well written, easy to follow and gripping to the end. I liked where the author took Bella and Edward as well ...

China Mieville
Del Rey

it all depends on what you're looking for
I think your response to this book will depend on what you expect. I'd never read Mieville before and I'm not a science fiction/fantasy reader; I heard about this on NPR, as part of a review of unusual and good detective novels. I'm a big mystery reader and picked it up, and I found it really haunting and a lovely take on the detective genre. Unlike some reviewers, I didn't find the ending ...

i like this series
the reason i got this book is that it was free for my kindle, but i loved it. as a combat veteran i appreciate being drawn back to those days of service to our country. i downloaded the series list from amazon http://www.amazon.com/StarFIST-David-Sherman-amp-Cragg/lm/MLSKSY9YW9WY and i'm now on book 4. but don't expect complicated plots or surprise and twisty endings, no female warrior ...
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (Dodo Press)

Jules Verne
Dodo Press
, 2007
Great aid to the real story.
We are reading the unabridged version to the kids and this is an indespensible aid for understanding the descriptive story. The pictures are great and very accurate to the descriptions. Historical notes put the story in context of when it was written (i.e. marvels at an electric engine, extant knowledge of sea life, predictions about underwater scuba gear). The kids can follow along in this ...

Little, Brown and Company
, 2008
Excellent Read...
I usually do not read science fiction but then again I never thought I would like a story about vampires either. I read this book immediately after the Twilight saga looking to get my "fill". It took me about 70 pages to get into the story because it is nothing like Twilight at all. Once I finally got into the story it really did turn out to be a page turner. Written very well and the thought ...
An Echo in the Bone: A Novel (Outlander)
354 reviews
Diana Gabaldon
Delacorte Press
, 2009
Best Writer in the Market today!
Only Ms. Gabaldon can give us 5 stories in one book (perhaps there were more, I counted 5). The way she weaves them altogether, and then leaves us hanging (!!!) - which, btw - she does this in Every Book - only makes me want more, more, more. Any author who can give me all 5 senses in one sentence deserves an award. I take my hat off to you ma'am, you've done it again!
Dead and Gone (Sookie Stackhouse, Book 9)
614 reviews
Charlaine Harris
Ace Hardcover
, 2009
Wow! Action packed book!
So much happens in this book and it finally explains the 'fairy' aspect, regarding Sookie. I read this book so quickly (my plan was to drag it out as long as I could until next spring when the next book is released) but that didn't pan out. I read it in about 2 weeks! Lots of action and back story lines. It also ties up a lot of loose ends concerning characters we have come to know. The ending ...

6 HOURS PLEASURE AND THRILLS TO LISTEN TO!
I really enjoyed this 6 hour read from my favorite audio reader - Bill Mumy! 6 hours of complete pleasure. Great storyline as well, and then having Bill read it! What more could you ask for? Bill has done R.A.Savatore proud. He brought this thriller to life! Very enjoyable in all aspects. I now collect all of Bill's readings such as SHOCK ROCK and LOST IN SPACE - THE PROMISED LAND. I can't wait ...

Robert E. Howard
Del Rey
, 2007
Not Free SF Reader
A selection of stories from many and varied genres. As the editor says "He is most famous, of course, for Conan of Cimmeria, who has taken on a life of his own as Conan the Barbarian, far removed from Howards brilliantly original conception; herein you will find other great characters, like Kull of Atlantis, king of fabled Valusia; Solomon Kane, the swashbuckling Puritanadventurer; Bran Mak ...
First Lord's Fury (Codex Alera, Book 6)

Jim Butcher
Ace Hardcover
, 2009
Odi et Amo
It seems this is the year for both of Jim Butcher's fantasy series to come full circle. First it was Turn Coat, wrapping up the first half of the Dresden Files, and now it is First Lord's Fury resolving the story of Tavi of Calderon. Codex Alera began with a young shepherd boy losing his sheep and subsequently being caught up in the larger political machinations of a treasonous High Lord ...

A great extra for Sookie Stackhouse series fanatics.
This book was a great extra to the series. It cleared up a few things I was unsure of and I cant get enough of Eric so having a story about him was a bonus! Short, easy to read and enjoyable!
