The Vampire Diaries: The Fury and Dark Reunion (The Vampire Diaries)

13 reviews
L. J. Smith

HarperTeen, 2008

Excellent!
I read the first three books after finding them at my old school library years ago. And I must admit, I ALMOST didn't read them and that is mainly because I thought the covers looked old and boring. Of course, there is the old rule: "Never judge a book by its cover!" I'm so glad I did decide to read them! I fell in love with "The Vampire Diaries" series after reading them the first time. I reread ...

Cast in Fury (Chronicles of Elantra, Book 4)
Michelle Sagara

Luna, 2008

When a minority race of telepaths is suspected of causing a near-devastating tidal wave, Private Kaylin Neya is summoned to Court—and into a PR nightmare. To ease racial tensions, the emperor has commissioned a play, and the playwright has his own ideas about who should be the focus.… But Kaylin works her best magic behind the scenes, and though she tries to stay neutral, she is again drawn into a world of ...

Academ's Fury (Codex Alera, Book 2)

Jim Butcher

Ace, 2006

Hooked on the series
The first book was good (I even paid full price for it), so I bought the second (another full price). The second was even better than the first. The characters are familiar now and the story becoming more interesting. My only complaint would be for such a young man, Tavi always has the right answer to complex situations. This is fantasy, however. It looks like I will be buying book three ...

Fury (Star Wars: Legacy of the Force, Book 7)

31 reviews
Aaron Allston

Del Rey, 2007

Star Wars: Fury
It was well written and synced nicely with the other stories that preceded this one. The author showed ruthlessness in the detail of the storyline turning on one of the beloved characters but used this as a strength to wrap up the end and lead in to the next installment.

Furies of Cal (Codex Alera, Book 1)

Jim Butcher

Ace, 2005

Creative new world and a great first book
I'm a huge D&D fan and got introduced to Butcher through the Dresden Files series (I'm almost caught up on that series). When I saw Furies, I figured I like Butcher's writing but was skeptical of his ability to pull off his style of writing in a completely new fantasy setting. Boy was I wrong. With Furies of Calderon, he sets the stage for a world where different races rule parts of the world ...

Ace, 2007

Sent To the Legion

Then Doroga and Walker assisted Bernard, Amara and the Calderon garrison attack another vord nest in the valley. A third vord queen had started a nest in the Deeps under Alera Imperia. Then she led the Taken ...

Captain's Fury (Codex Alera, Book 4)

49 reviews
Jim Butcher

Ace Hardcover, 2007

Excellent
Captian's Fury is an excellent continuation of the very good series of books. A difficult book to put down once you start with enough twists to keep you guessing to the end yet not lose you along the way. Already anxious to get the next one.

Princeps' Fury (Codex Alera, Book 5)
Jim Butcher

The Sound and the Fury

191 reviews
William Faulkner

Vintage, 1991

Why we read
As I Lay Dying had piqued my appetite for Faulkner so when I saw the Sound and the Fury on our school reading list, I couldn't wait. I decided to read it on my own before we read it in class. The first section was a different reading experience than I have ever had. It was more like a puzzle than a typical novel. Benjy jumps around in time without telling us where he is going so it is very ...

Hell Hath No Fury (BOOK 2 in new MULTIVERSE series) (Multiverse)

22 reviews
David Weber, Linda Evans

Baen, 2008

Second in the excellent Multiverse series
This is the second in the "Multiverse" series by Dave Weber and Linda Evans and follows on from the excellent "Hell's Gate." Tells the story of contact and increasingly of conflict between two civilisations, both spanning multiple universes. Between one and two centuries before the events of these novels, portals start to open between different versions of the planet earth - apparently ...

Red Fury (Blood Angels)

1 review
James Swallow

Games Workshop, 2008

In Nomine Sanguinius
Excellent launchpad for the next Blood Angels series. Lots of tension between the various "sons" of Sanguinius, especially the Flesh Tearers and Blood Angels. The last 2 chapters or so are just one battle, and it is arguably one of the most insane I've ever read. Highly recommend.

The Sound and the Fury (Norton Critical Editions)

16 reviews
William Faulkner

W. W. Norton, 1993

Great But Difficult Novel
This is perhaps the most difficult novel written that's worth the time to read. I'd STRONGLY suggest you buy Volpe's book on Faulkner's Novels to read along with it first. Volpe breaks down the points at which a different charecter takes over the narrative. After that, try it yourself, but Volpe is the best guide for the person new to Faulkner's harder(hardest)work. The Norton Edition has a great ...

Fury In The Ashes

William W. Johnstone

Pinnacle, 1999

One Of The Best In The Series
This is one of Johnstone's best books in the "Ashes" series. In this one the Rebels take on California and all of its residents. The book has great action and has great re-read value. A keeper.

Winds of Fury (The Mage Winds, Book 3)

21 reviews
Mercedes Lackey

DAW, 1994

romantic and suspenseful
This was clearly the best of the three in this triology. It had lovely, leisurely romantic interludes plus fast paced action. I was absolutely glued to it. This trilogy is quite liberal socially. The women are effective warriors and often the leaders while the men typically follow. Gay relationships are accepted as equal with straight ones. One of the lead good guys is gay. It's really neat ...

A Summer of Faulkner: As I Lay Dying/The Sound and the Fury/Light in August (Oprah's Book Club)

71 reviews
William Faulkner

Vintage, 2005

Challenging and thought-provoking
These novels are not to be read for sheer pleasure, but rather for the challenge and the depth. They are not easy to read, though *Light in August* is the easiest of the three. The prose is so difficult at times that I needed to reread again and again. I had to stop and take numerous breaks because my brain got twisted around. I strongly suggest getting research materials from a university ...

Trial by Fury: A Mystery

8 reviews
J.A. Jance

Avon, 1986

J.A. Jance sticks to her winning formula!
This series keeps the ingredients that made it a winner from the start: a divorced detective that has lots of money and loves McNaughton's, a partner that only eats healthy food and lives with his two kids, a lawyer that was "inherited" together with the money and an obnoxious reporter that hates the detective's guts due to past rivalries. This mix makes the Beaumont series a highly enjoyable ...

Kill Bin Laden: A Delta Force Commander's Account of the Hunt for the World's Most Wanted Man
Dalton Fury

St. Martin's Press, 2008

The mission was to kill the most wanted man in the world--an operation of such magnitude that it couldn’t be handled by just any military or intelligence force. The best America had to offer was needed. As such, the task was handed to roughly forty members of America’s supersecret counterterrorist unit formerly known as 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta; more popularly, the elite and mysterious unit Delta Force. The ...

Woken Furies: A Takeshi Kovacs Novel

Richard K. Morgan

Del Rey, 2007

Excellent
Like the other books in this series this one is excellent. It doesn't matter in what order you read these books. The genre in this series varies from cyberpunk to hardcore science fiction with aliens and space battles. By the same author, but not part of this series, I recommend Market Forces.
