Mosley Keeps Getting Better
+ Easily Remorseful
+ YOU KNOW IT DON'T COME EASY
Walter Mosley is a strong writer with a sense of humor. This book is the latest Easy Rowlins novel and the best one yet. It is easy to settle slowing into the grips of a Mosley novel. Suddenly one realizes you are trapped and do not want to put it down. I practically read this one right ...

I listened to the book over a three week period. At first, it was a bit dull in the set-up of the main characters. Once however, the women go on their boat trip, the pace picks ups significantly. I couldn't wait to listen each day on my commute to and from work. Some elements were predictable while ...

The Appeal 453 reviews
John Grisham
Doubleday, 2008
Excellent gritty tale
+ A rebuttal to the 1 and 2 stars:
Intelligent, thought-provoking, and well-told thriller grounded firmly in the political landscape around us. Definitely worth a read, as it will ignite thought and conversation for a while afterward.

Beverly Hills Dead35 reviews
Stuart Woods
Putnam Adult, 2008
Very different style.....
+ WHO Would Like Beverley Hills Dead and Why? For Some Folks, It Would Be a Great Gift!
This book is totally different from others by Stuart Woods. It deals with McCarthyism in Hollywood and I wasn't sure I would like it. Woods, as always, puts together a great story with believable characters. The storyline, based on real events, flowed. another winner for Stuart Woods!
