Boy's Life

Robert R. McCammon

Michael Joseph Ltd, 1992

Awsome Book!
Robert McCammon really did an awsome job writing this book. It expresses everything in a young boy's life. The dissapointments such as: loosing a friend to a bullet, your dog dying, and having your dad layed off from work. On the other hand it also tells about great things such as: getting a new bike, catching a criminal, going to a circus, and many other things. I would highly recommend this ...

White Night (The Dresden Files, Book 9)

Jim Butcher

Thorndike Press, 2007

The White Night...another good book from Jim Butcher
An action packed, Harry Dresden adventure. This is another in the Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher. Butcher's hero, Harry Dresden, is a wizard/private investigator who has his own battery of unusual resources and methods of getting things done. Because Harry's 'involvement' usually leads to confrontations, there is always something happening to keep your interest; it makes it easy to read ...

Christopher Pike

Demco Media, 1989

No "The Last Vampire", but still amazing!
First let me say that this book, in my opinion, is a 4 1/2 stars. This is by no means Christopher Pike's best book, which would be "The Last Vampire", no doubt. Christopher Pike has an incredible talent and precision for details. I love the way he can make the smallest of detail into a major part of the plot, an excellent technique... especially in a murder mystery. This book had everything in ...

HarperTeen, 1999

deeply fabulous
Oh, I love this book. I first came across it when a friend lent it to me. That was in 2004. I still have the book. While I am planning on giving it back to her (soon, I swear) I bring up this embarrassing story just to point out what holding power this book has. At this point, I've read it so many times that I don't remember what my initial reaction was. Every time I reread it, though, ...

Random House Audio, 2007

Hard to put down thanks to a riveting story
Well written and full of suspense. This is my first Stephen Hunter book, but it won't be my last! The story line is not predictable, in fact you'll be surprised at every turn!

A Page Turner
Having spent the last 25 years in Las Vegas I can attest that Brian Rouff knocked this one out of the ball park. I could swear that I know some of these people. The characters are so intriguing that we want to know them better. I hope that this will become a series because one seldom encounters so pleasant a read. The narrative is honest and refreshing and he captures Vegas Noir with style and ...

Hello Gabe (XOXOXO)
I absolutely love this story! Gabe Baldwin is my favorite male character in this MUST READ series. His character is alpha-male, hot, sexy, and mysterious. I like that in the characters I read about. Of course, Charles Mason and Clint Chamberlain aren't bad either. I wouldn't kick either one of them out of the sack, hahaha! If you are a reader who wants to escape from it all via reading ...

Braver's New World
I'm the same age as the hero of the story (Chris Bacon) when he worked on producing the Elixir drug in the first half of the book. Despite his efforts and successful experiments, the drug has a terrible consequence. As I read this fast moving and thrilling story, I wondered if I would want to have Elixir available so I could live much longer than the lifespan nature has given me. Would the side ...

Tananarive Due

Washington Square Press, 2002

One drop can damn or heal
"The Living Blood" by Tananarive Due is a riveting and supernatural suspense novel that will hold your interest from chapter to chapter. She introduces her characters through their minds as well as their actions. While parents Jessica, a mortal turned immortal, and David/Dawit, an immortal, are the main characters, for me, four-year old Fana steals the story. The parents are bewildered trying to ...

Hubert Selby Jr.

Da Capo Press, 2000

Prepare yourself before you read
You need to be ready before you read this book. Upon finishing this little dandy I was physically shaking. I can't think of any other book that has made of shake. The manic style and never ending punch in the face flow of this Hubert Selby Jr. masterpiece will stay with you for the rest of your life. If you saw the movie and so decided to not read the book, you are making a mistake. The book is a ...

So great!
As a teacher, so many possibilities, as a mother, aunt, grandma, lots of great conversation. This has been done masterfully.

The Watcher's Guide, Volume 1 (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)

Christopher Golden, Nancy Holder

Simon Spotlight Entertainment, 1998

Pretty interesting though a bit lightweight
I like the books by Kenneth Topping a lot more than the official guides. They are more fun, more informative, and because they aren't "official" can be fans more than authors maintaining an official relationship with the show. But having said that, this and its companion volume are both really informative. And although I knew all the quotes anyway, it was a lot of fun reading them all. The ...

Walter Farley

Knight, 1985

Classic Book & the movie was a masterpiece
This book is a must-read for any child. When I was young I read lots of Jack London books and I also read the entire Walter Farley Black Stallion series. Walter Farley's books are written in a very simple style, easy for young readers to understand. The movie is a timeless classic & was so well done. Some children will find the movie slow (no talking during the whole island sequence) but if your ...

Peter H. Capstick

St. Martin's Press, 1978

The most important outdoor books ever written
Hemingway, Ruark, and Sanchez are all pale imitators of the great Peter Hathaway Capstick. Try to imagine an American walking away from a Wall Street career to hunt as a professional guide in Africa. Now imagine that this guy could write WAY BETTER than Hemingway, and you're still not there. A small snipet from the chapter on leopard. "...the bark of the tree, when, suddenly, your gazing ...
