Review:With success comes the increased need for subsequent sequels and less editing. There is still good content in this book, but it suffers due to lack of content editing. Thankfully grammar and spelling are still fine, but the story line goes into more racy details that really aren't needed, and the non-stop action really just keeps a crescendo, with more ludicrous coincidences moving the plot along... I'm still going to read the series, I just think a bit of time in between books is needed. Read more

Review:What can I say about Christopher Nuttall, either you love him or you hate him. His books span fantasy to sci-fi and more. You always know what you are going to get with him. A solid story and interesting characters. Read more

Review:I am slowly becoming obsessed with Josh Lanyon's books. I did think Fair Play was a solid book, but it did get a little bogged down at some points compared to the first book, Fair Game. This is a continuation of the first book, so this absolutely cannot be read as a standalone. Elliot and Tucker have moved in together and we see reasons for them maybe not working well together in their daily lives. They make a good pair in bed, but outside of it? They find that they have obstacles to overcome in... Read more

Review:The mystery was good, I always like Lanyon's writing too. I really liked development of the relationship as well. There was stuff I did not like too, but because it goes into *I did not like* v *it did not work for me in the story* (small distinction I know, but this is the one I usually make in order to decide when to downgrade the book or not), I will not talk about it in the review.

Review:Ben and Adam have a wonderful flow bred from years as best friends. Love the way they just 'work', from their dialogue to just hanging out on the couch. Quirks, insecurities, vulnerabilities are all there surrounded by understanding, support and love. Hope to see them again, I really love this pair. Read more

Review:I am new to this "in your face" mystery paradigm. Starting with the first paragraph the reader is slammed into the story. You hold on for dear life, and the ride gets better with each page. Wow. 'Nuff said. Read more

Review:While there is a great deal of philosophical thought covered in relatively short order (500 pages in print version), the device of question and answer between the teacher and student is tedious. The puzzles in the interludes between pedagogy lead to a mind-boggling conclusion. My sympathy to the young narrator Sophie and her guide to the world of thought, Alberto, who finally melt away like the Cheshire Cat. Be hopeful and remember, "The only thing we require to be good philosophers is the facu... Read more

Review:The book was easy reading. The plot made you think about a time in our world that wasn't so good. This should remind us that it should never happen again. Somehow I thought it would end differently. Read more

Review:The book was so interesting, explaining about the conflict between Israel & the Palestinian people. So many of the people would like peace, but are thwarted by the terrorist faction. And the intrigue with the main character finding Sopie was exciting. Read more

Review:One of the best short story collections I've read. Sometimes Doerr becomes a little too enamored with word-play, but that's probably because he's so great at it. That would be my only complaint. Which should speak highly of him. Read more
