I didn't anticipate loving it to the point of rising at 5am on Day One of vacation so I could finish it before the festivities got started! I felt completely swept in the action and the descriptions and writing. I'm amazed to read that others couldn't form a picture. Poor souls. I feel Meyers captured the wild and erratic teenage heart wonderfully. I ...             Breaking Dawn (The Twilight Saga, Book 4)2928 reviews Stephenie Meyer Little, Brown Young Readers, 2008 Breaking Dawn I could hardly wait for the book to come out as I thoroughly enjoyed the three previous books. I was not disappointed!             New Moon (The Twilight Saga, Book 2)862 reviews Little, Brown Young Readers, 2007 The Most Difficult Book I've Ever Been Through 5 Stars? Absolutely. Amazing writing, fantastic sequel to 'Twilight?' Completely. That being said, this is THE most difficult book I have ever made my way through. It created for me an emotional roller coaster--through most of the book I found myself sobbing as I shared in Bella's pain and confliction, and as I wondered what would come next and how all would be resolved. I couldn't put ...             The Time Paradox (Artemis Fowl, Book 6)48 reviews Eoin Colfer Hyperion Books for Children, 2008 Artemis continues to excel! The latest book in the Artemis Fowl series continues to shine. The latest installment does an excellent job of bringing its reader into the Artemis Fowl world while stretching our imagination with its time paradox theme.             Moscow Rules66 reviews Daniel Silva Putnam Adult, 2008 Moscow Rules This is vintage Daniel Silva, riveting and spellbinding from the very begining. His sense of geopolitical timing is uncanny, always preceding the news with his latest novel. In this book he also gives us a glimpse of his sense of humor.             When You Are Engulfed in Flames215 reviews David Sedaris Little, Brown and Company, 2008 When You Are Engulfed in Flames This is just another example of the brilliance of David Sedaris. Now, not as ordinary in his lifestyle, David embarks on new adventures that most people would care to forget or just let pass into obscurity. His style and sincerity remain the same. Go David. This book needs to be read twice in succession. Once to injest the initial shock, again to savor all the wit and irony of everyday stories ...             Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Book 7)3205 reviews J. K. Rowling Arthur A. Levine Books, 2007 sure racks up the bucks thank you, thank you, j.k. rowling, you are the greatest woman on this planet. your books total have brought me so much money...i'm loaded! and hey, it's good stuff, too, i've flipped through a couple of the books and they seem pretty good. i mean, with all the business i do daily i don't get much time to read, but you gotta give a little time to the best young adult series in the world. so ...             The Host: A Novel554 reviews Stephenie Meyer Little, Brown and Company, 2008 I love Ian!! I really loved The Host. I stayed up very late a couple nights because I couldn't stop reading! The story is very interesting and held my attention all the way through. And I really enjoyed the ending, which can be rare even with quality novels. I fell in love with Jered, Ian, Melanie, Wanda... Such great characters. The first 2 or 3 chapters were a little confusing for me but once you get past ...             The Last Patriot: A Thriller114 reviews Brad Thor Atria Books, 2008 SUPERB!!!!!!!! Although not a real fan of "political" thrillers...this book had me riveted from the first few paragraphs. Well done, Mr. Thor!!!! I'm sure there's a lot more truth to this than any of us would like to believe.             The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite Candidate161 reviews David Freddoso Regnery Publishing, 2008 Great Read ! Two books to read together are this one and "Obamanation." Both clearly separate the "loony fringe" stuff (Obama is not a citizen, Obama was sworn in on the Koran) from the real (and scarier) truths about Obama. Both books teach clearly in exceedingly-well documents prose how Obama is: 1. The most radically pro-abortion person on the entire national scene, condoning even infanticide, in the ...             Off Season29 reviews Anne Rivers Siddons Grand Central Publishing, 2008 Her best book ever!! I've read all of Siddons' books and this is her best!! A very moving story of a woman who loses the two loves in her life and how one affects the other. This is a must read for those who read Anne Rivers Siddons.             Turbulent Sea (Drake Sisters, Book 6)62 reviews Christine Feehan Jove, 2008 Great Book! Turbulent Sea was a great book!! Definitely one of the best Drake Sisters novels that Feehan has written. I love Joley's character and Ilya is hot!! I do wish there would have been a more in depth explanation about Ilya's background, but all in all, the book was great!             The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids' Favorite Meals259 reviews Missy Chase Lapine Running Press, 2007 I've been looking for a cookbook like this for years I've long looked for a cookbook that took favorite dishes and made them more nutritious. My children eat nearly any vegetable I put before them -- but what they really love are foods like macaroni & cheese, buttered noodles, white bread, mashed potatoes, etc. This cookbook has completely changed the way I cook. When I made the chicken nuggets (which had an unbelievable amount of pureed ...             To Kill a Mockingbird1754 reviews Harper Lee Grand Central Publishing, 1988 Everyone's Favorite . . . I honestly have no idea how many times I have read this book. I read it first as an assignment in the eighth grade; most recently, at the age of 41, I read it aloud to three of my children. As with the more recent readings that I recall, I choked up a bit at the end as Scout is experiencing the tragedy and love that surrounds her in the form of her conservatively eccentric father, her ...             In Odd We Trust28 reviews Dean Koontz Del Rey, 2008 Nice work I like Dean Koontz very much and his story in comic form is a well done approach. I like it very much and I am looking forward to further issuse form Odd...             Chasing Harry Winston: A Novel92 reviews Lauren Weisberger Simon & Schuster, 2008 Pleasantly Surprised I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this book. I didn't enjoy the author's second book at all, which I thought was just a clone of her first novel, the famous "Devil Wears Prada." I'm happy to report that Ms. Weisberger really branches out with her latest book, "Chasing Harry Winston." This book is nothing like her first two. It's a little slow in the beginning--I had some trouble ...             The Dangerous Days of Daniel X53 reviews James Patterson Little, Brown and Company, 2008 Move over Superman, a new super hero has risen Reviewed by Narayan Radhakrishnan for RebeccasReads (8/08) Superman, Batman, Spiderman, He-man... enough; I am through with these super men. After all, they are mere mortals... with some extraordinary powers. James Patterson, the prolific author...rather institution, has now, with "The Dangerous Days of Daniel X" started a new series. It is his own version of a super hero, and unlike our ...             The Monster of Florence79 reviews Douglas Preston Grand Central Publishing, 2008 True is Stranger... This book reads as a docudrama. It is a chillingly complete review of the historic serial killings and of the bumbling backwardness of the Italian legal system. I was shocked that the craziness was going on up to 2007 (and presumably to this day)! Although the judicial system sometimes sorted out the truth, the injustices perpetrated by the police and military police are truly frightening. We ...             Peek-A Who?96 reviews Nina Laden Chronicle Books, 2000 Eek-a! My 13 month old loves this book. It actually inspired her fifth word! We were reading the book and as I was about to say "Peek-A... Moo", I heard this tiny "eek-a" from my daughter. I turned the page for Peek-a-Boo, and before I could say anything, she did it again - "eek-a". It's repetitious so I think it taught her to say the word. Now she loves to say "eek-a" before I turn the page. I ...             Scarpetta (Kay Scarpetta) Patricia Cornwell Putnam Adult, 2008 From America’s #1 bestselling crime writers comes the extraordinary new Kay Scarpetta novel . Leaving behind her private forensic pathology practice in Charleston, South Carolina, Kay Scarpetta accepts an assignment in New York City, where the NYPD has asked her to examine an injured man on Bellevue Hospital’s psychiatric prison ward.
