Review:I've read everything Tom Wolf has written since "Kandy Kolored Tangerine Flake Streamline Baby" and I've enjoyed them all, some more than others. His best was "Bonfire of the Vanities". This is a return to form, but if the other Tom Wolfe was right (actually, "Thomas" to you) and you can't go home again, "Blood" is certainly a valiant try. In "Blood" he tries to do for Miami in the 2010s what he did in "Bonfire" in the 1980s, and with a remarkable degree of success considering that the templa... Read more

Review:The relationship between Pyle and Fowler regarding Phuong seems improbable; however, for a student of Vietnamese culture, the story paints a subtle but insightful view into a time long past. I would have loved to have seen Vietnam before the heavy American involvement, and The Quiet American gives a glimpse of an era that is gone forever. Read more

Review:This book appears to be historically accurate without being unnecessarily morbid. Extremely thought provoking and relevant to our current world. I would recommend this as a read for any book group, very convicting. Read more

Review:Definitely a chick novel. After listening to the US and world news, this novel can help you feel better. There is nothing intellectual about it at all. Don't be put off by the mention of rocket science or chemistry. Read more

Review:**Possible Spoiler Alert** I never know what I am going to write until it's wrote so I may - or may not (slightly higher pitched) - give something away. BUT just in case I do, I want to make sure I am protecting myself ahead of time.

WOW!! I didn't realize until I was about finished this was written by a guy...aaand I loved it. I was worried it was going to turn cheesy about 1/3 of the way through but it definitely kept my interest peeked and I am so glad. So, Mr. Logan Chance, Braaa-VO s... Read more

Review:Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney were "Kat" and "Nick".Yes,Duplicitous Is a great word to describe Why "Kat" in the film did what she believed forced to Follow through.By not keeping the same names as the characters in book and tweeking readers into "false" feelings of the same book to film is not my cup o' tea.The film,based on this book is a "bit o' crack".{Fun for those not knowing the British slang}.Film is witty,a great Supporting Cast w/Holland Taylor,Amy Adams and a slew of British Actre...

Review:I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book for my honest opinion. This is a heart warming story about zach an air force piolt, jo was in the coast guard. Will a rekindled friendship turn into more? Read more

Review:Sophie Kinsella is a reliable author, in a good way. One could say her books are formulaic and always have a happy ending, but sometimes that is just what you want, and while tou can see several plot points a mile away, Kinsella still makes the journey enjoyable, primarily through her believable characters and zany, funny situations.

Another great thing about Kinsella is that she writes about women at all stages of life. Some women are older and alone, others are single and clueless. With... Read more

Review:My Oxford Year wasn’t quite what I was expecting … not in a bad way. I promise that this sentence will make more sense as you read.

When I looked at the cover I was expecting a fluffy coming of age romance with a bit of drama. And essentially that’s what it is, but it is also something of an emotional rollercoaster of a read. Obviously the summary kind of gives you some clue as to the drama about to unfold, but apparently I missed the clues going in, so when the “big thing” is revealed I ... Read more

Review:Small Admissions was a fun, funny, and entertaining read. Kate is a likable character and has you rooting for her from the start, just like her friends. I took the book on holiday and it felt like the vacation from my vacation every time I got a chance to read it. Read more
