The Crimson Petal and the White
The Crimson Petal and the White

Review:This book will keep you hooked start to finish! The scenes are well painted, the
Characters are enchanting and well developed, and the story is intriguing. I would have given it 5 stars but I disliked the abrupt ending. Hoping to give The Apple a go and see if it has the answers I'm looking for. All in all, I recommend this very well written book to anyone interested in the time period. The historical details alone make it worth the effort! Read more

The Book of Strange New Things: A Novel
The Book of Strange New Things: A Novel

Review:Disappointed. Too much is left unresolved. As a sci fi novel, it comes up short. As a novel on Christianity it's the work of a well-intentioned layman. It was too slow and went on too long. Interesting enough to keep me reading. Foolish me to think there were going to be plot points resolved. And then some unexplained plot devices near the end. Read more

Under the Skin
Under the Skin

Review:Very shocking book. At the beginning you have no idea what the heroine is doing with the males she picks up. When the truth is revealed, it shocks and appalls. I dare not give it away, but this is a book that can definetly compete with the imaginations and story types of both Stephen King and Dean Koontz.

Review:This is a really interesting idea well realized. It's the perfect companion to The Handmaid's Tale, and I would really love a third book that lands somewhere in the political middle between those two books. Read more

Left Behind Collection: Boxed Set Volumes 1-5

Review:I am working my way through this series after having owned the first few books for some years. I have to admit, I was pretty skeptical about it and didn't think I would like them at first. However, I have found the plot to be very engaging and the books are extremely well written. Furthermore, I am actually learning about scripture just by reading them. And the interweaving of the scripture is very well done-- you learn as the characters learn. I am looking forward to finding time to finish t... Read more

In the Twinkling of an Eye--Countdown to the Earth's Last Days (Before They Were Left Behind

Review:How many people has the Left Behind series saved? You can't even say these books are entertaining, because that doesn't even begin to cover it. The whole series, plus 3 books after and 3 books before. Thank you Tim Lahaye and Jerry Jenkins! Read more

Review:This whole series was a great experience. I read all 13 & only the last one, Kingdom Come, was not as good as the first 12. It was not really needed, however it was good to find out some of the endings. Read more
