Indigo Slam: An Elvis Cole Novel50 reviews
Robert Crais

Fawcett, 2003

Another good thriller
I love the thriller genre and this is a good read. Not as good as the Watchman also by Crais but good. You can depend on this writer to give you a good read. New thriller writer Conrad Jones, the Soft Target trilogy is the best I`ve read for ages, and Michael Connelly`s Overlook was a belter too.
  
  











  



  
Woman on the Edge of Time91 reviews
Marge Piercy

Fawcett, 1985

If you were inspired by this novel, check on books on social ecology!
Marge Piercy's "Woman on the Edge of Time," is perhaps my favorite utopian novel. I speak here of utopia as a "good place," not a "perfect imaginary place," though the two are often confused. This novel is a prime example of a wonderful critical utopia, showing utopia not as a static "end of history" but rather as a dynamic, free, and ever-progressing and ever-improving new beginning of history. ...

The Glorious Cause
The product was exactly as listed. The CD was a pleasure to listen to. The ebay dealer was timely in the delivery. The condition of the prodict was very good. I am well satisfied. Thank you.
  
  











  



  
Utopia91 reviews
Lincoln Child

Fawcett, 2003

Utopia by Lincoln Child
Lincoln Child is one of my very favorite authors ever and this book was superbly written with action continuously all the way through. I strongly suggest all books he co-wrote with Douglas Preston and his other two solo books, Death Match and Deep Storm. This man is one of the most super-talented and gifted authors today. This book takes place in an amusement park which is a little different ...
  
  











  



  
First, Do No Harm15 reviews
Lisa Belkin

Fawcett, 1994

Inside Texas Medical Center...
Lisa Belkin has created an amazing book here - she definitely did her research. The book consists of a few case studies of patients who pose ethical dilemas. Belkin takes you inside meetings of the ethics committee at the hospital, she takes you to the patient's bedside to see what the patient actually wants. Some of the patients she follows are a young kid who has been hospitalized for 15 ...
  
  











  



  
A Place Called Freedom66 reviews
Ken Follett

Fawcett, 1996

Good read
I felt that this book was well-researched and the characters nicely rounded. I learned a few things about coal mining among other things, and I always love it when I pick up a historical novel and learn new facts!
  
  











  



  
Poland52 reviews
James A. Michener

Fawcett, 1984

Poland's amazing and unique history in the flesh.
Poland by James A. Michener is a book that has been on my favorites list since I was in High School. My Paternal family descended from Slovak and Polish peasants. This historical novel is great in painting a picture of what life was like for my family and for other of Polish ancestry. This book stars characters from 3 families from the 1200's to the 1900's that represent the 3 major classes ...
  
  











  



  
Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons: A Novel181 reviews
Lorna Landvik

Fawcett, 2005

I usually avoid this kind of book -- Glad I didn't
I have learned to avoid those books about groups of women who bond over years (and often over books and in book clubs) like the plague. However, for some reason, I actually read this one-- and liked it! The story spans from the 60's to the present day (or at least present day when published) and really rides the ups and downs of life. Nothing melodramatic or stunningly shocking-- just real. And ...
  
  











  



  
The Demon in the Freezer124 reviews
Richard Preston

Fawcett, 2003

Those Who Forget History Are Doomed to Repeat It
This quote inherits a new sense of forboding when considering the history of smallpox, its eradication and the threat it currently presents us today. Richard Preston has managed to write my favorite kind of book with Demon in the Freezer: an informative but fascinating non-fiction page turner that is accessible by anyone with an inherent sense of curiosity. Definite five stars.
  
  











  



  
Things Fall Apart533 reviews
Chinua Achebe

Fawcett, 1985

What makes fiction important
I know this is the classic debate of all time when it comes to literature: Is it about beautifully written prose (THE STORY OF EDGAR SAWTELLE, incidentally, is a good example of this problem) or does it tell a compelling story? (yet the prose itself is not its strong point). It seems that many works of fiction these days are of the former and unfortunately, not enough of the latter. I ...
  
  











  



  
If This Is Love Why Do I Feel So Insecure?21 reviews
Carl G. Hindy, J. Conrad Schwarz, ...

Fawcett, 1990

I can see clearer know !
Excellent Book !! This book was a gift for myself, and I am amazed at the extensive analysis of anxiously attached people, that it provides. I have a clearer view know as to why I behave like I behave in relationships, as well as why I tend to choose the partners I have chosen. It's all a cycle. It was a long read, but it's really, really worth it. All the examples of other people's ...
  
  











  



  
The Witches of Eastwick23 reviews
John Updike

Fawcett, 1985

Scathing Social Satire
Likely many will be giving this book a new look now that Updike has published a sequel. Since Updike became a realist at mid-career with his Rabbit novels, not many understood this book. But it is a scathing social satire on post-Protestant America, in the vein of his earlier Couples and Month of Sundays. No holds are barred in this assault on upper middle class spiritual play and pretense. ...
  
  











  



  
Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley (Agatha Raisin Mysteries, No. 4)21 reviews
M.C. Beaton

Fawcett, 1996

very funny and entertaining-I love Agatha Raisin
"Agatha Raisin and the Walkers of Dembley" is one of my favorite Agatha Raisin books. It is in this book that Agatha first meets Sir Charles, who becomes her companion and works with her on cases in later books. Agatha's roots were in working-class Birmingham, and she brought herself up by her bootstraps to own a successful PR firm in London. As a child, she had a dream that she would someday ...
  
  











  



  
Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway123 reviews
Susan Jeffers

Fawcett Books, 1996

Classic, Good for Everyone
I bought this book based on a reference in Secrets of the A Game by Logan Edwards. I originally purchased this book to help with getting over my social fears with meeting women, but I actually got much more out of it. Of course, it DID help out with meeting women, but also gave me a better perspective on interacting at work and with family. I highly recommend it.
  
  











  



  
Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt: A Novel316 reviews
Anne Rice

Fawcett, 2006

It Speaks To The Heart.
This is a picture of Jesus - as a young boy - that fits comfortably into the character of Christ as found in the Gospels... and yet the creative detail imagined to fully render that character brings a fresh light and joy to the subject. The heart of this book testifies to its author's spirit of humility and grace. Those who know the Lord will love this story. For those unfamiliar with ...
  
  











  



  
Tales of the South Pacific30 reviews
James A. Michener

Fawcett, 1984

Dreaming of the South Pacific...
I admit I had very little idea what this book was about when I bought it, but it seemed like something I should read while on vacation in the South Pacific last fall. It wasn't quite the island paradise novel that I thought it would be - it really is a book about WWII, in which the islands of the South Pacific are characters, but despite not being what I thought I enjoyed it thoroughly and ...
  
  











  



  
Folk Medicine: A New England Almanac of Natural Health Care From A Noted Vermont Country Doctor14 reviews
M.D. D. C. Jarvis

Fawcett, 1985

excellent!!
I thought that this book was going to cover all kinds of herbal medicine. It turned out that it covered just 3 natural products,which were apple cider vinegar, honey, and kelp. It turns out that if you just add these to your diet that you will be healthy.Dr Jarvis started experimenting using these ingredients on cattle and horses.The animals has such excellent results that he started using them ...
  
  











  



  
The Covenant44 reviews
James A. Michener

Fawcett, 1987

Capture the spirit of South Africa
The covenant by James Michener is an exceptional historical novel. The general subject matter is the history of South Africa. The theme of the book is an attempt to capture the spirit of South Africa and describe how separate group development (Apartheid) came about. The thesis of the book is about missed opportunity and how misunderstanding, cultural differences and conditioning, fear and need ...
