I really didn’t care for this book very much. I just read it a few days ago and I can barely remember what had happened in it and I think that clearly says something about the plot. I remember the beginning, where they found a murder victim buried in …

I am a huge fan of James Patterson! Especially the Alex Cross series. Cross Fire did not disappoint me in the least!
It starts off with a bang, as most of Patterson’s books do. All of my favorite characters were back in this book (Nana Mama, the kids, John Sampson,) …

I think ‘American Gods’ by Neil Gaiman is one of his finest works. The British author writes a story that is so distinctly American in it’s intense local flavors. It’s about a non-stereotypical convict who gets out of jail under strange circumstances and begins an epic journey that he …

I found the book very compelling. There isn’t really anything that makes you think, wow, but before you know it, you are drawn in. The writing is …

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 …

Night Kites is a very sad yet great book. It was released in 1986 but I didn’t read it until about the year 2000. It’s a really good book that talks about love and life. I thought the story about Erick and Jack and Nikki was sad. I think …

I should preface this review by stating clearly that this is a work of erotic fiction, so you should stay away far away from it if you are easily scandalized.

I love reading psychological or medicinal help books, and in this James Morrison - Dsm-IV Made Easy: The Clinician’s Guide to Diagnosis, it describes the detailed and complete steps to diagnosis, that we all do not know of much.

This book, No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 Ideas for Your Blog by Margaret Mason gives no indication that it’s going to be a technical one for me. When I first took a look at the title, I already sense that this is going to be …

Douglas is fascinated with his Pefkakian birth certificate, and spends most of the book writing away in …

I had read Steinbeck’s East of Eden before coming to this novel, so I was expecting something engaging. I wasn’t disappointed. The Grapes of Wrath is an excellent novel. The fact that one of the first chapters was wholly devoted to a tortoise moving along the road had me …

Star Trek: The Next Generation - Out of Time is a comic book that follows up on the episode “Relics” as well as “Cause and Effect”. I think the comic book story does a superb job of following up on stories that the television show should have, but never …

In the book that I’ve read, The Ghost of Grania O’Malley by Michael Morpurgo, it is or isn’t a ghost story, I’m not going to really say. You would have to read and find out the truth behind this particular Big Hill. Rumors have it that this hill …
