Mythology 80 reviews
Edith Hamilton
Back Bay Books, 1998
the gold standard
+ Shades of AP English
+ Mythology Review
Hamilton is definitely the gold standard for retelling these glorious, ancient myths. Her style is engaging and the structure of the book makes it very easy to keep track of such ridiculously branched family trees. This is much more than just a reference book...it's more like a giant Greek ...

The Summons 744 reviews
John Grisham
Delta, 2005
Surprisingly Literary
+ After Twists & Turns comes one engrossing plot with surprise end
This book has produced a mixed bag of reviews, like any substantial work. I rarely read thrillers, although I loved the immersion of "workaholism" that drenches the first third of The Firm. The Summons is a good and serious read. It's depiction of the Deep South rings true and the characters are ...

James Patterson, Gabrielle Charbonnet
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
Refreshing and Unique
+ Purely Heartwarming
I was delightfully surprised by a Patterson book that escapes the confines of his usual murder mystery novels and suspends the very reality that makes many of his other novels so powerful. I related greatly to Jane as a child, and it brought back many of my own painful memories that were good to ...

John Grisham
Dell, 2004
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 ...
