The Dangerous Days of Daniel X 67 reviews
James Patterson
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
James Patterson is Always Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+ Worth the buy!
The Dangerous Days of Daniel X was a quick romp of playful imagination. I always enjoy following Patterson's creative mind. I got his Maximum Ride series for my grandson - but was soon hooked on the outcome of his very colorful and endearing characters. Daniel X leads you into the same pattern - ...

Angels and Demons Book Review
+ I confess that I got hooked...
Angels and Demons is Dan Brown's prequel to The DaVinci Code, taking place approximately one year before the events in his best selling novel. The incidents in this book are hinted at in The DaVinci Code and only help to whet the appetite, and this book does not disappoint.

+ The Compulsive Reader's Reviews
If you like fantasy stories filled with magic, adventure and romance, but are getting sick and tired of boring, long-winded fantasy epics, then look no further than "Stardust." There are no long histories, family trees or endless descriptions of culture, landscapes and back-story. This is just a ...

The Pillars of the Earth1278 reviews
Ken Follett
NAL Trade, 2002
Enticing novel indeed
+ Great story
When I finally came to the conclusion that I was to read the Pillars of the Earth for my summer reading, I was rather skeptical that a near thousand page book, dealing with the construction of a cathedral could keep me inspired enough to read it. I was ineffably mistaken.

1st to Die (The Women's Murder Club)545 reviews
James Patterson
Grand Central Publishing, 2005
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 ...

Where's Dirk
+ A Great Action Adventure in 19th Century West

Great story. The whole time I was reading it I kept waiting for Dirk to arrive. Even though he didn't appear, this was a fun filled, can't pull the book down, adventure.

No Country for Old Men (Vintage International)416 reviews
Cormac McCarthy
Vintage, 2007
The Coin Has No Say
+ I saw the movie first but really enjoyed the book
+ Great writing
Cormac McCarthy has a unique and memorable writing style. What you read stays with you because it takes a little effort to internalize it. His storytelling is largely symbolic, as well. If you can read what's between the paragraphs, you'll get the rest of the story.
McCarthy has carved out a ...

Jove, 2006
Jack Reacher Is A Believable Super Hero
+ SEXY!
+ An over-the-top mystery
This is my second Jack Reacher read. I think the author does a great job creating page turning excitement. Even though many of Reacher's exploits may seem over the top. They are achieved in a plausible way. Reacher's brother was a top level treasury department boss who was the top expert in money ...

Bantam, 2008
Another Dean Koontz Oddity
+ Can not go wrong with Koontz...
+ Another Great One
As usual Dean does it again with Odd. As with all Dean Koontz stories you're captured right from the first page. Because it's an Odd series you already know you are hooked even before you opened the book. So for all of us Dean and Odd fans just sit back and read yourself into another great book. ...
