Review:This book, no this series, was probably the best series I've ever read. Every chapter was action filled and Tad Williams did a great job writing! There is a saying: you know you've read a great book when you feel a little like you've lost a friend. This book and series definitely fits it! I recommend this book to anyone!!! Read more
Review:"River of Blue Fire" picks right up where "City of Golden Shadow" left off...which is to say, on the edge of your seat! It submerses us in a world which we don't want to leave. It does not have the lagging plot of a middle-of-a-trilogy novel, and I can't wait for the remaining chapters. This is already a true classic-level read...highly recommended and well worth the hard-cover price. Read more
Review:I love contemporary YA novels with weird twists. I also have a weird, irrational fear of space disasters that couples nicely with a masochistic urge to read and watch things that make me feel like my chest is too tight for my heart to fit inside it. We All Looked Up managed to hit both of those sweet spots, which is something commendable all on its own. I've seen movies like this (Seeking a Friend for the End of the World, anyone?) and even though I can't really name anything like it from before... Read more
Review:I accidentally purchased this. I really didn't want to read ABOUT the book, "The Girl on the Train", I wanted to read the book itself. I was lured in by the low price, not paying attention to the details. Very disappointing. Read more
Review:When Oaklyn’s parents spend her school loan money she has to find a way to make up the money fast. Her roommate introduced her to her Uncle who owns a club called Voyeur, where people pay to watch sex acts. Oaklyn goes to work there because it pays good. Callum Pierce is a member of Voyeur and he watches Oaklyn until he finds out that she is a student in his class and then he feels guilty.
I really enjoyed Voyeur because it dealt with touchy subjects realistically. The characters were ope... Read more
Review:Women In Love is one of the most beautifully written books I have ever read. The author's mastery of the English language is evident on every page.
Women in Love is also one of the most pointless books I have ever read. Sure, there are some very interesting conversations along the way -- but (and a big BUT) everything else smacks of being false and contrived.
Considering its girth, there is very little action in this novel. When there is action it repeatedly springs out of left field. A... Read more
Review:Anais Nin is famous for writing erotica that was decades ahead of its time; this is a collection of several of her erotic short stories. They are quite good, quite well-written, but I can't say that they're flawless. There are two main problems, one of which is certainly the result of her having written the stories for a patron whose stated interests clearly colored her writing, and the other of which may be a result of the same influence or may be the result of Nin being, in spite of her best e...

Review:Tristram Shandy, like Don Quixote, is a classic humor novel. It contains some hilarious premises (i.e. his father being obsessed with his family's noses and Tristram's nose getting smashed by clumsy forceps work during his delivery), but the digressions, which are the central conceit of the book and can be humorous on their own, dilute the fun to the point of making it a tedious exercise to finish it. The author is clearly impressed with his own cleverness but also has a sense of humor about h... Read more
Review:I highly recommend this book to any fans of superhero work. I don't normally write reviews but I was so moved by this book that I decided to write one. What makes this book interesting is that it unravels the psyche behind what makes a super villain put on the tights everyday. Read more
Review:Dean Koontz' "Odd Thomas" is a wonderful character brought to life in a series of text-only novels. This graphic novel is an excellent new view of him. The story is solid, the artwork is great. Recommended! Read more
