Ist to Die
+ Start of new women-led murder series
+ Wonderful start to the series
This is the first in the Women's Murder Club series and it is the first James Patterson book I've read. He is a popular and prolific writer, and this thriller doesn't disappoint. It may not be great literature, but it is easy reading with very short chapters and it keeps the reader's interest to ...

Balanced
Picked this up for another trip to Europe and eagerly finished it. I continue to enjoy the interplay of the four women. I do wish that Jill's character was developed just a little more. There were a few pieces that even after finishing confuse me, but perhaps that's part of the mystery. I'm curious ...

A Walk to Remember 1297 reviews

Grand Central Publishing, 2000
A Beautiful, and Poignant Novel!
+ Great Read
+ So incredibly sweet!
A WALK TO REMEMBER was a novel I checked out from the library because I was tired of fast-paced action novels by John Grisham and Tom Clancy (don't get me wrong; I love Grisham and Clancy). I like dramas and romances, so I checked this one out. It's the first Sparks novel I've read.
I was ...

Nights in Rodanthe
+ Absolutely lovable and charming though (to me) very sad
I have always enjoyed reading books by Nicholas Sparks and I must say that I was very happy with many of the details in this book. I could not put it down until I was able to find out how it was going to end. I too have lost someone dear and it was able to help me let some of my grief out in a ...

+ Good revenge story
+ Good Read!
As I scanned the opinions of other readers, I found that in general, people either loved or hated this book. Those who didn't like it seemed to complain at the implausibility of the story. I enjoyed the book because of it's implausibility, which contributed to the overall sense of fun and ...

Dystopia, i long for thee
+ Good Book
+ Satire at its best
I purchased Brave New World after reading 1984, and while I must confess that I enjoyed Orwell's book just a little bit more, Huxley's work was still an immediately compelling read. I think what I liked best was just how "british" this future was, by which I mean, everything seemed so very posh and ...

+ Couldn't put it down
I loved this novel and would like to see the world read it. I think it told the well known, though not often practiced, secret of living a fulfilled life. Dream big, laugh often and never let a day go by without loving with all your heart. Life is a journey and we make of it what we will, but love ...

John Grisham

A FUN WAY TO KILL A FEW HOURS. NOT A BAD READ AT ALL.
I am one of those few readers in the known universe that is not overly fond of John Grisham's legal thrillers. I do like the way the man writes though, and thoroughly love his novel, A Painted House. This work sort of falls into the category of "this is not a book I would seek out, but hey, I ...
