Review:This is a condensed Campbell reader with insight for everyone in a philosophical mood. I think he's a go to guy for connecting dots between cultures and with some insights on life, stay on the rails and seek one's bliss. Read more
Review:Great book! A real page turner. Correia proves he is not just a "gun" author, no guns in this book. The only problem, I need the next book in this new series to be ready now. Good story line, very engrossing. I really can't wait for the next book in this new series. Read more
Review:First, 4 stars is over rating. This has more typos, grammar errors than I would expect for anything over .99. Story is short about 100+ pages of character development and 'platoon, weapons' description, explanation. Could guess accurately but took away from enjoying. This from a game? Wish I would have known to get appropriate background. With characters, quite a few interesting ones but only few developed.
I am a Cornwell , Gemmel fan reader. Ryan has caught my attention and Angus is a d... Read more
Review:The Monster Hunter world of MHI just keeps getting better and better! MHA was a page turner from start to finish, building on story lines that were left untold from the original MHI - not for the faint of heart, if you like action scenes, strong character development and a great ending you'll LOVE MHA and the entire series!

Review:This book was okay, but not as entertaining as her other books. The plot seemed to go around in circles, and the lead character became a bit of a drag about 3/4 of the way through the book. Her writing is always good, and the descriptions are quite vivid. I will continue to admire her as one of my favorite writers, but this story seemed pathetic and whiny in parts. Read more
Review:The blurbs above, from "Publishers Weekly" and "The New Yorker," give a fair summary of the characters and structure of "The Night Watch." In Sarah Waters's reverse-chronological strategy, suspense takes on a different cast: not "What is going to happen next?" but "What is the truth of what's already happened?" This tactic allows her to leave out the heavy-baggage exposition of the ordinary novel, where personae unpack, for our convenience, facts they are already over-acquainted with. Instea... Read more
Review:In her novel Affinity, Sarah Waters takes us to Victorian England. Exploring a dual system of oppression, the prison system and the social condition of women, Waters weaves a master multi-layered tale. Imprisoned for a seance gone terribly wrong, Selina Dawes sits festering in horrific conditions in a women's prison. Margaret Prior, recovering from a suicide attempt, tends to the women and their needs as charity. These two women's lives collide, changing both forever. Affinity is a tale of forbi... Read more
Review:I read it from beginning to end without coming up for air. From the moment I met Ren I was hooked. The characters are flawed and dirty, but there is not one you don't feel for. The closest I can come to Ren is Huck Finn. He has a wonderful common sense when it comes to morality. He sees the good and bad in all he meets without judging. Like the stones he collected at the orphanage, he senses that once washed off and polished there is something worth value in all of them. Ren's world is drawn wit... Read more
Review:Victorian romance! With a twist (well many twists). The Oregon Shakespeare Festival is making this into a play for 2015. Everyone at work is reading this book. Great plot. Could not put this book down.. Glad I had purchased for my kindle so I could read it all night long. Read more
Review:A very intriguing book that gradually draws the reader into the 1920's world of bootleg gin and the relationship between two young typists in a NYC police precinct. A taste of the Great Gatsby with murder thrown in on the side. Worth the read. Read more
