Review:This is an enticing literary journey where few will ever tread. The characters are vibrant, defame and spec will keep you awake at night then Hungry for the next chapter. Although I read it as an assignment I highly recommend it to all. Read more

Review:I, like many of the other readers that have reviewed Roberto Bolano's The Savage Detectives here, was utterly blown away by this book. It was my second experience with Bolano, behind 2666, and I feel that I am now hooked for life. But I won't go into my rave of the book here so much, since there are already plenty of good reviews out there.

Instead, many people might have come across all the buzz concerning Bolano and are wondering whether or not his work will fit them well. My first resp... Read more

Review:Allegiance was clearly one of the best Star Wars books I have read in recent years. I was very interested to learn about Mara's early years working for Emperor Palpatine as the, still learning, Emperors Hand.
I was also very interested in seeing a different side of the Stormtroopers rather than just seeing them getting killed right in left. You learn that they aren't a bunch of moronic and inept troops like you surmise from watching the movies, rather they are a crack squad of troops who are ... Read more

Review:Surprisingly boring story, for this author. Beginning drew me in, but it was a bit of a struggle to finish. Usually this authors writing paints a clear picture in the imagination, but I had a hard time understanding all the sail related passages. Read more

Review:There is great growth of already established characters great development of new characters. The story is so well told, I felt as if I was running along side of Luke and his companions as they tried to out quests the Grand Admiral Thrawn. Not reading this series could be considered falling to the dark side of the force. Read more

Review:Dale Brown is a much better solo writer. In Nerve Center there are too many characters each with too many names. Very confusing at times & the story is broken up into too many short chapters. I'm hoping the next two Dreamland books are better organized & more fun to read. I've read all of Dale Brown's other books. Thanks. Read more

Review:Sarah Dessen has done it again! This books gave me the chills. I felt all kinds of emotion while reading it: anger, sadness, happiness, etc. This story is truly captivating. A definite MUST read. I would recommend this book to any of my friends!! Read more

Review:The book came in the estimated delivery date. The book was in excellent condition. I really enjoy the story. This edition of the story is just that, there are no footnotes or really any extra details to help the reader. I have seen an edition that had footnotes, and I wished this one did. Either way, it is a great short story and well worth the read. Read more

Review:That's not being melodramatic. I tried to like this book, I got to about page 60 before I could no longer take it. DO NOT waste your money on this. This book was so bad that i didn't want it on my bookshelf with the rest of what I currently own. Don't even bother, this is not even close in comparison with White Oleander, save your time, brain, and money. Read more

Review:Most of the reviews discuss the plot and the technology. I'm writing this review to emphasize the general level of the writing; it is very impressive for a first (or nth, for that matter) novel. It flows very smoothly, sustaining its pace without sagging in the middle. The multiple point of view technique is often an obviously double-edged sword, but here it is handled very well, without intrusion or disruption.

My only regret is that it took me so long to try it.. Read more
