Review:There were thirteen books in the series. All of the books are great and easily deserve to five star rating. It is too bad there can be no more than thirteen books. I have read all thirteen in order without reading any other books. Read more

Review:Sinclair writes a real protagonist who questions his own motivations, who actually gets hurt, who is unsure of his future. Rather than a superhero who can do no wrong, Carl Logan is all too human, and you can't help but cheer for him. Read more

Review:Again another terrific novel. Well written with plenty of action. It is fun to go to different parts of the world all in one book. The blending of so many different people and personalities is really good. Brad Taylor is definitely my favorite author Read more

Review:The author is incapable, unfortunately, of writing believable characters. Regardless of ho the character in question is, they have one voice - his own.

The plot, in broad strokes, should be interesting. It deals with a mythos rarely touched upon. Unfortunately the heavy handed use of deus ex machina to extract the character from every situation leads to distress without gravity, conflict absent of risk.

Ultimately I'm not sure who the target audience is for this book. Surely anyone... Read more

Review:I loved this book. What a fantastic Australian sense of humour coming through loud and clear. Very well written. Read it in less than one day. Couldn't leave it alone until it was finished. Has everything: humour, tension, horror, fast paced. I love vampire books such as the Twilight Series and Vampire Academy Series. This series is shaping up to be on a par with these, if not surpassing them. Looking forward to the second book in this series with bated breath. Can't wait. Please releas... Read more

Review:Wow! Just wow! Magic, mayhem, and gut-bustingly hilarious hijinks abound in this 2nd book in the Magical Mayhem series. K. F. Breene has hit another home run with this one! She pulls you into the storyline right from the first chapter, and never lets go. I couldn't put it down. Join Penny, Emery, Callie and Dizzy, and Reagan in this fast-paced, action-filled, continuation of Penny's journey to grow into her magical potential.

I received an ARC of the book, and I'm voluntarily stating my h... Read more

Review:A great Russian classic but in the traditional Russian genre. Very descriptive writing of people and places with the "normal" tragic Russian ending. Turgenev easily captures the soul of Russian writers of the 18th century. Read more

Review:Translation: C.J. Hogarth, 143496 words

The first 10 chapters (half the book) have everything that makes a picaresque novel: funny characters, funny adventures and travels. It rolls along at a perfect pace. Gogol is witty and smooth, a suave motor mouth. I wouldn’t say that as a narrator he’s in the way, but he is crowding the reader.

Gogol’s deadpan narrative style is suitable for comedy. The main character, Chichikov describes an acquaintance, Sobakevitch, as “a bear, and not... Read more
