The Dark Tower Series Gets Stranger...
+ The Dark Tower
Whereas the previous five "Dark Tower" novels take place over large, sprawling periods of time, this novel is much shorter both in reality (400 pages) and within the text (all the events take place within a day or two).
When I first started this book, I was disappointed by the focus on ...

The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower (King, Stephen)692 reviews
Stephen King
Donald M. Grant/Scribner, 2004
Anticipation Makes "VII" A Thrilling Read
+ stephen king dark tower delivers
+ MAGNIFICENT CONCEPT: The symbolic trials and tribulations of an author's quest to write and complete his creation: his book.
I have to sympathize with Stephen King regarding the writing of this book...how do you end a series that has been going on for so long? King has often been criticized (me included) for writing thrilling stories accompanied by unspectacular endings, and this book is no exception, as many readers do ...

+ Cinnamon and chocolate, meet blood and death...
+ To love this book is to love being enveloped in a story
I'm a foodie, so it's more than a little fun to read a story where the protagonist obsesses about food, food creation, feeding people, food gadgets, and the assorted food mania that foodies get into.
I've loved Robin McKinley stories since I ran into them in middle school a bajillion years ago ...

American Psycho1075 reviews
Bret Easton Ellis
Vintage, 1991
This Is NOT An Exit
+ Not for the queasy readers
'American Psycho' is a satire of the 1980's (among other subjects) centered around narrator Patrick Bateman who is the yuppie-to-end-all-yuppies. Though the humor is as dark as possible, it's true to Ellis and true to the story. I cannot find any failure whatsoever with this book. For readers who ...

Elizabeth Kostova, 2005
Atmospheric and respectful
+ A literary novel, not just a thriller
+ Entertaining
It is hard to believe this is a first novel, so successfully has Elizabeth Kostova captured the atmosphere of the original novel. It is written in a twin narrative by father and daughter, always a voyage of discovery backwards through time via research, documents and letters, left by those who went ...

Richard Matheson
Tor Books, 2007
Great book and literature
+ ... worth it.
+ A Fantastic Read, Worthy Among the Great Horror Stories
It is perhaps the greatest novel written on human loneliness. It far surpasses Daniel DeFoe's Robinson Crusoe in that regard. Its insights into what it is to be human go far beyond genre, and is all the more surprising because, having read his short stories- which range from competent but ...

Mesmerizing book. The style, the format, the writing, the dialogue on all levels keeps you glued to the pages. To coin a common phrase, "I couldn't put it down". Highly recommend.

Jim Butcher
Roc, 2001
Butcher serves it up again !!
+ H*ll on Rollerskates
+ His Tombstone says it all
If your a fan of the Dresden files you will love this one, if your not you might like to try it. True it is a bit off the wall but it is also loaded with quick wit and humor and enough characterization to make you care about Dresdan and the people he works with and against. I loved it !

Bantam, 2008
Another Dean Koontz Oddity
+ 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. ...
