Review:A sentimental tale of youth and adventure. As always CRZ takes us on a series of tales within tales blurring the lines of love and darkness. Always a bit macabre and filled with his tell-tale trademarks, vengeance, Angels, demons, mechanical marvels and lots and lots of fire, he is a hopeful (not hopeless) romantic whose unlikely heroes face unfathomable villains but almost always lose at love. Maybe that's the way life is? Read more

The Prisoner of Heaven Low Price CD: A Novel

Review:Every single one of Carols Zafon's books are over the top. I can never put them down. And he always ties the endings up in a pretty little bow. The characters are very true to life.Excellent, excellent writer. Read more

Review:Great writing. He does mystery so well. After Shadow of the Wind I expected (somewhat) rational explanations for the apparently supernatural villain and goings-on associated with him, but this kept me wondering to the very end, and surprised me a bit. I'm holding off reading the third book because I don't want this series to end. Read more

Los herederos de la tierra (Spanish Edition)
Los herederos de la tierra (Spanish Edition)

Review:Los Herederos de la Tierra es un libro largo pero entretenido. Es la continuación de La Catedral del Mar, aunque no llega al mismo nivel. El libro es especialmente bueno para quienes disfrutan leyendo la vida en la Barceona Medioeval, y sobre todo para aquellos interesados en las historias de reyes y papas. La trama es buena pero en algunos momentos las discusiones respecto de los las cuestiones de sucesión de reyes y papas se torna un poco tediosa. De cualquier manera vale la pena leerlo. S...

Savage: A Bad Boy Next Door Romance

Review:Ms. Bloom is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I read this cover to cover in one sitting. I’m sure some can pull it apart with parts being resolved a little too easy but that’s what makes it a great story. Don’t we all wish things in life could be resolved with a happy ending? Read more

Daddy Next Door

Review:**I am voluntarily reviewing an Advanced Readers Copy of this book**
This book was an fast, fun, OK read. Tyler and Quinn's relationship was not always smooth and it felt at times, if it wasn't for his daughter Rachel, there wouldn't be much of a relationship at all. The book was fast paced, but was somewhat predictable, drama with the ex. Still a fun read. Read more

Review:What a strange fascinating narrator! While Jane Eyre will always be my favorite of Charlotte's novels, Villette holds its own. I admit the narration will not be for everyone. Often the side characters take on brighter more perceivable places in this story than it's hero, yet it is still compelling. I highly recommend this novel, and it's intriguing and and illusive narrator. Read more
