A Good Janet Dailey Novel
+ First-time Janet Daily Reader
+ Pledger Family Review
Lone Calder Star is pure Janet Dailey. If you like her Calder novels, you'll like this one, it has the ultra hunky hero, and the intelligent, down to earth heroine.

This book was a very good read, I couldn't put it down. Kate Mosse has also written Sepulchre which is equally good.

The Secret Supper69 reviews
Javier Sierra
Atria, 2006
Symbology and Secrets Galore
+ It's no secret, this is a very enjoyable read
The intrigue of The Secret Supper surpasses many books of its type, including the international best-seller The DaVinci Code. The already well-known symbology in art during the Renaissance is the central theme, here. Secret codes fill in much of the rest of the action. Even though the plot's quest ...

Wonderful insight into character motivation and quirkiness
+ original and truthful novel about the world of science
This is a terrific book that deserves a higher rating than it currently has. Goodman's understanding of what makes people tick and how their strengths are also their weakness are amazing. In a delicious way the author illustrates how and why characters feed off each other to get their own emotional ...

I loved this book!
+ Good book for Little Girls
+ Girls Hold Up the World
I am a dark skinned mother and am very aware, having biracial children, of the images they are exposed to. There is a picture of at least one dark skinned girl in the book that I can think of off the top of my head. There is a young beautiful dark skinned preteen listening and dancing to her music. ...

I was really excited about reading this novel and was slightly disappointed by it. I thought it was going to delve more into Trixie being a cutter and the problems being raped brought. It didn't. Picoult could have done so much with the plot but I felt like she didn't give it her all. As one ...
