Fashion Victim by Sam Baker
Fashion Victim by Sam Baker is a good book on fashion backdrop, what goes on behind the scenes perhaps in reality and many more juicy details.
However, this fiction story is uncanny and has a voice of mystery and bit of thriller to it. You get fashion-packed laced with murder …

Extinction: Bad Genes or Bad Luck? book
The title of this book - “Extinction: Bad Genes or Bad Luck?” - makes the work sound as though it is going to be a rather straightforward look at how the dinosaurs were wiped out - and, indeed, the painting of a snarling dino on the otherwise dramatically black …

Margaret Cho’s I Have Chosen To Stay And Fight
Ms. Cho’s first book, “I’m The One I Want” was a encellent read that gave a unique look into her life and her comedic process.
This book, however, really missed the mark and reads more like an extended rantings and ravings with almost no focus.
Ok, I did like the part …

The Undertaker’s Wife by Loren D Estleman
“The Undertaker’s Wife” is the third book by Loren D. Estleman that I’ve read and so far, it’s my favorite. I really love the way Estleman treats the American West by dealing, not with the honest, square jawed, lawman versus the evil rustler/gunslinger/bank robber, but with everyday people in …

“World War Z” by Max Brooks
“World War Z” by Max Brooks is well-known within the modern zombie subculture, but that doesn’t mean that it’s well-regarded. In fact, the news of the upcoming film (currently listed as slated for release in 2013 on the Internet Movie Database) serves as evidence of the book’s lack of …
Da Vinci Code

Another of my favorite book written by Stephen King would be The Stand. This book that I’ve read is actually from the Uncut Version and if you want a clue, the cover page of this book is something of a blue bird or something. A weird blue-like …

Sins of Omission book
Allen Synge’s extremely well researched book, “Sins of Omission”, is subtitled “The Story of the Test Selectors 1899 - 1990″, from which you will probably infer (and correctly so) that it is about cricket. In particular, it concentrates on those players who for various reasons - some of them …
“The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner” by Stephanie Meyer
I want to preface my review of this book by saying that I am not, even slightly, a fan of the Twilight series. I read the books and saw the first two movies to see what the fuss was about, and I came out of the experience feeling …
Crossed by Ally Condie, 2013 Book (Matched #2)
I had already been majorly disappointed by the first instalment to this trilogy, but I did pick up the second book. I think I just had a tiny sliver of hope for this typical and unoriginal trilogy. I was hoping that maybe Cassia would finally mature a little and …
Ishmael Book
When I first started reading Ishmael I expected it to be just another “Lets save the world” story with good intentions, but a lack of logic and reason. However, the further I read, the more I found that this was not the case. I have to say that the …

The Restaurant at the End of the Universe book
It’s hard to follow up a work that has been so well-received with another smash hit. That, however, was exactly what Douglas Adams did when he wrote The Restaurant at the End of the Universe—”the sequel to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Universe.
In the sequel, more randomness ensues as …
The First Billion by Christopher Reich book
I’d read some sample chapters of Christopher Reich’s “Rules of Deception” and was impressed by the exciting storytelling, and the authority with which Reich described a mountain climbing excursion gone awry. I felt that the author definitely had mastered the thriller genre.
Quick research on Reich revealed that he’d already …
