Review:Disappointing conclusion to the story arc, didn't even seem like the same author! Was expecting some fire, romance...not even a lot of "alpha" to this story...boring, not what I expect from Alexa ? Read more

My New Step-Dad
My New Step-Dad

Review:I really enjoyed this book. The beautiful cover caught my attention first thing, and the title was the reason I wanted to dive right in. I'm a huge fan of taboo books so this was right up my alley. For people who dont like the idea of the heroine with her step-dad, the marriage was only out of convenience and he isnt THAT nuch older. It was a very quick and a VERY steamy read. I'm glad I read this one and will definitely read more from this author. Read more

Lost on a Mountain in Maine
Lost on a Mountain in Maine

Review:A heart stopping, tear jerking, cheer-out-loud inspirational true story of a 12-year old boy's terrifying experience of being lost on a mountain for nine days in freezing cold conditions. Half naked with only a blanket he found in a deserted cabin to cover himself at nights while sleeping in beds of moss under trees, fighting starvation, unending mosquitos and other biting insects, he never gave up hope of finding help. He prayed every day and night thanking God for whatever berries he could fi... Read more

LOST HORIZON (Marathi Edition)

Review:I recently viewed the Ronald Coleman movie, which didn't do a very good job following the story, but which ignited my desire to reread this wonderful fantasy. It's sort of a 'lost' classic -- forgotten by many readers, but well worth time it takes to fall into this wonderful and dramatic world Hilton imagined. Read more

Review:Great author!! I love all your books!! They are real to life, very interesting, entertaining, heartfelt, and always very funny! I loved the character development. I did see some repeated material from other books, but that's ok. It fit well with the story. This book was so good. I took my time with it. I plan to read any new book you write! I read a lot and I really enjoy your style!! "Here's to friendship and all who sailed in on her!!" Classic! Well done! Keep up the good work! Read more

Message in a Bottle
Message in a Bottle

Review:I'd heard that Sparks is a popular fiction writer and wanted to try something different from the typical biography or classic novel that I usually read, so picked this book based on the good reviews. I've read about 1/3 of it and just have no desire to pick it back up. I find it boring and predictable, and poorly written. Perhaps I should have known not to get this since I've never been a "romance novel" kind of person. I hate not to finish a book I've started, but it's easy to put this one as... Read more

Sister Carrie
Sister Carrie

Review:Young woman is taken advantage of by an older married man of means who falls madly in love with her. His good fortune turns into tragedy while her fortune turns into success due to her beauty and ability to act on the stage. This was quite controversial when first published in 1900. The author provides a narrative along with the plot, providing philosophical and psychological input into the actions of the characters. Interesting. Read more

An American Tragedy (Signet Classics)
An American Tragedy (Signet Classics)

Review:After finishing Sister Carrie, I started this great story of unrequited desire. It is truly magnificent. The story of Clyde Griffiths is engrossing. No one but maybe his mother comes out very well. If you saw the movie ( excellent though it may be), treat yourself to this cascade of language and a journey into the American psyche guided by Dreiser, a giant of a writer! Read more
