Shadow of Cain: A Novel 2 reviews Vincent Bugliosi, Ken Hurwitz
W. W. Norton & Company, 1981
IT WAS VERY HARD TO PUT DOWN
I thought the book was fantastic and the writing of this book made it seem so real. I thought it was, so I got on the computer and tried to find information about Ray Lomack and could not and when I didn't have any luck doing so I realized the book must have been fiction. You see I borrowed it ...

Monster Planet: A Zombie Novel 16 reviews David Wellington
Running Press, 2007
Good book so far
+ A good end to a good series of books.
I haven't finished this book yet but it is good so far. I am reading it to finish the Monster trilogy. Overall, the trilogy is OK. It is a little far-fetched or supernatural. i was expecting a standard zombie-type book.

On the Road (Penguin Classics) 37 reviews Jack Kerouac
Penguin Classics, 2002
So that is what the fuss is about
+ A book of people and places + Inspiring Read
Oftentimes I've heard so much about a writer's amazing talent only to be disappointed when I get around to reading his/her work. Ayn Rand falls into this category to a degree and Bukowski falls all the way into it--but not Kerouac.
I don't know if Jack captured the heartbeat of a generation. I ...

Apathy and Other Small Victories 55 reviews Paul Neilan
St. Martin's Griffin, 2007
Absolutely hilarious
+ Hilarious + gator72
All of my friends said, "You have to read David Sedaris." And I did. I chuckled a few times, but couldn't help thinking, "Is this really as funny as literature gets?"
Paul Neilan answered that questioned for me with a resounding 'No.' He tears everything and everyone a new one in his debut ...

The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder 222 reviews Vincent Bugliosi

My future son-in-law, Kenny Rojas, was killed by an IED in Bayji,Iraq on October 29,2005. He was 21. I read a Stephen Spender poem at his closed-casket funeral.
His death destroyed his family and devastated ours. Believe me, there is NO ONE who would like to see George W. Bush prosecuted for ...

Monster Island: A Zombie Novel 77 reviews David Wellington
Running Press, 2006
Outstanding Zombie Novel!!
+ Great concept, crumbles a little towards the end. + A solid and inventive zombie movie... er, book.
I've read many horror novels before, but never one dealing with zombies. Okay, a bit of a lie there. I read Cell by Stephen King. Loved it. And I've seen 90% of the zombie movies made (the legit ones, that is), and am a huge Romero fan. This book was something different. Not better, not worse. Just ...

I got the whole trilogy and read them in order thankfully.
Monster Nation was my favorite of the 3 and dveloped a few interesting characters.
The writing style seemed a bit complex compared to other "undead" based books I have read.
The trilogy one was more in depth and had a supernatural ...
