For one thing it was pretty short in length and for another the plot was sort of blah. It started out pretty good but didn't last. I'm hoping for more from the next release.             Evidence: An Alex Delaware Novel27 reviews Jonathan Kellerman Ballantine Books, 2009 Kellerman has Evidence that he is the Best!

Hamilton Ballantine Books, 2009 You may know me best as Meredith Nic Essus, princess of faerie. Or perhaps as Merry Gentry, Los Angeles private eye.

In his usual style of "historical fiction" Mr. Shaara takes us through the European theatre in WWII as seen through the eyes of its generals, politicians and, the parts I found most interesting, the soldiers themselves. This is solid storytelling, primarily focusing on the Battle of the Bulge, as seen through the eyes of the grunts, and as ...             Official Book Club Selection: A Memoir According to Kathy Griffin125 reviews Kathy Griffin Ballantine Books, 2009 Very Enjoyable Book (and it really is a book, too) I was thoroughly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Admittedly, I am a big fan of Kathy Griffin. Based on her "D List" show, I expected this book to be a bit of a joke. I am an avid reader, and I was very impressed by the quality of the writing in this book. It is very insightful and entertaining to read. I literally had difficulty putting it down. I have read other books by ...             Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet176 reviews Jamie Ford Ballantine Books, 2009 Great Book I loved this book.

In other words, it's about science, not religion-- it's the polar opposite of an atheist screed. For this reason the entire work is extremely respectful and can be a cornerstone in the life of any thinking person. It provides ...             Await Your Reply: A Novel88 reviews Dan Chaon Ballantine Books, 2009 A Must Read In this terrific page turner the lives of three characters converge, and identities are invented and reinvented.

This was the best "baby sleep book" that I read for various reasons and I wish I'd read it before my son was born! It would have explained a lot and really helped. As it was, I read it when he was four months old and it was a huge find. I did a LOT of reading before and after birth about childrearing and this book is the bible about infant sleep science compared to the others. I agree with ...             The Rising Tide: A Novel of World War II107 reviews Jeff Shaara Ballantine Books, 2008 a big chunk of WW2 action and thought I haven't been sucked into such a war novel since the first time I read War and Peace. I just finished Steel Wave, as well. Wow, I am speechless. I only know one thing,..that I'd have definitely been the shell shocked coward that Patton slapped in the face. If all I can give this author is 5 stars,..you got it,..that's what I gave Tolstoy, too. Yes,..to all you huffing college profs,..I am not ...             The Steel Wave: A Novel of World War II58 reviews Jeff Shaara Ballantine Books, 2009 Great historical fiction One of the best books I have read in a long time.

I think I read Interview with the Vampire a few years ago and just never got around to the Vampire Lesatat and so on. Well, when I ran across this book, I had to get it.
