Review:I love anything by Diana Gabaldon, and have been waiting for volume two of the Companion to come out. It gives the background and connections to the storylines in the last few books she has written since the volume one was published. Love, love, love it!!! Read more
Review:Really good read! I highlighted many parts in my kindle. Well written, deep and thoughtful. Halfway through, I thought I'd figured it out, but I hadn't. So keep reading it as if no one was a schizophrenic. Read more
Review:Sinclair Lewis defines Martin Arrowsmith as `a young man who was in no degree a hero, who regarded himself as a seeker of truth, yet who stumbled and slid back all his life and bogged in every obvious morass.' He is `a snuffing beagle', who in his lifespan covered in this book never was in control of his destiny.
This book touches all kind of important themes:
- Commercialism and the religion of a scientist: `Knowledge is the greatest thing in the medical world, but it's no good wh... Read more
Review:Classic satire of the American businessman and capitalist culture in general. As one earlier reviewer here states: "shockingly modern". I was drawn to this book after hearing Joseph Campbell quote Babbitt in the "Power of Myth" video series: "I've never done a single thing I've wanted to in my whole life!", Babbitt tells his son at the end of the novel. He's hoping that his son will be strong enough not to turn into him, and it's a quintessential moment because it's simultaneously sad and up... Read more
Review:If you think our United States of America could never be led down a path to dictatorship, this novel will show you exactly how it could happen. Think twice America before you let our democracy perish through sheer lethargy and ignorance. Read more

Review:This series is so good!! This is the first book (prequel) in the series and you will fall in love instantly with the characters. I've read all of the books that have been released through Opal, and can not wait until Origin is released in July. You will have a serious book crush on Daemon!! Read more
Review:**May contain spoilers**
Like its prequel, Kimberly Kinrade associates 'Seduced by Pain' with one of Shakespeare's greatest love stories; this time it is 'A Midsummer's Nights Dream'. Each chapter begins with a quote from the play and is named after a section from that quote, indicating the action of the story. I appreciate this homage by Kimberly Kinrade, to Shakespeare, who I believe wrote some of the world's most beautiful stories, and I am interested to find out which play she will be usi... Read more
Review:**I received this book in exchange for an honest review**
I have never ever read a trilogy like Nocte. After becoming addicted from the first page of Nocte, I was on the edge of my seat until the end. Courtney has built up page after page to the finale in Lux and she does NOT disappoint.
Dare. Sweet, loving, mysterious Dare. He has a place in my heart forever.
Calla, I feel for her. We all feel lost or crazy at times. Being in her head is beautifully tragic.
Well don... Read more
Review:A little more editing needed but it was fun. Good beach read. A little hard to believe that she could not take out more student loans or at a heavily endowed school get scholarships, but that's not the point. Read more
