After Dark (Vintage International)78 reviews
Haruki Murakami
Vintage, 2008
Mesmerizing
+ Superb.
+ Intriguing, but with too many loose ends.
I think this is the most down-to-earth novel by Mr. Murakami that is published now but with a touch of his earliest novels. I admire his recent novels but I also love his previous ones. This one has that mysterious, voyeuristic, supernatural, surrealist feeling of his recent novels but somehow, the ...

John Hart really can tell a tale! I find it hard to put his books down. If this is only his 2nd book, we are in for a literary treat. His style is up there with Grisham, only better. I highly recommend this book as a good mystery, a real page turner! I felt like I was there with the ...

This exciting and well-written book has two intersecting storylines: one is the search for a missing play by Shakespeare, and the other is the quest to determine who really wrote the plays attributed to him. It's a fast paced book, and it takes the main characters through all of the various ...

Lee Child
Delacorte Press, 2008
Messing with G?d and war... still a MASTER!
First of all let me clarify something.
There's clearly a campaign in Amazon against this book.
You have hundreds of dismal reviews based on one thing only:
Child messed with WAR PROFETEERING creeps!
and the usual fascist monkeys came out to oppose this book.
Pitiful.
Specially from the ones ...

The Appeal453 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.

This is a first for George. As with all of her stories featuring Thomas Lynley there is a crime which must be solved, but in this case the crime is really incidental to the main thrust of the story, which is Lynley's journey (both physically and emotionally ...
