Review:This is the by far the most disappointing book I have read by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. It wasn't a bad idea for a story, but it was long and I was never that interested in the main characters.

This is the story of Georgie York and Bram Shepard. Years ago the two of them starred in a popular sitcom. Georgie loved Bram from the time she was a sheltered child actress and Bram, a bad boy from the streets, had no time for Georgie.

Due to a recent divorce from her superstar husband the ... Read more

Review:I just discovered Susan Elizabeth Phillips about a week ago when I read the first of her seven book Chicago Stars series. I have read 7 books in about 1 week which goes to show that I haven't been able to put them down. I have literally laughed my way through each one and each one got better than the last. The female characters are strong and funny yet soft and vulnerable where it counts. The male characters are definitely all alpha males, masterful, intelligent, and sexy with their own particul...

Review:This story is interesting and keeps you glued to the pages. I loved the main characters and their relationship that was growing very slowly. The suspense keeps you turning the pages...will they survive? Will they save the town? What happens if they fail? This is a fabulous romance/thriller that romance and mystery fans will enjoy. I've read most of the books from this author and this is still my number one choice. Great action and when they get together....BOOM! 4 1/2 stars because romanc... Read more

Review:Nothing compared to his other books/works. It sucks that Sedaris has developed a fan base that he caters to by repackaging the same content over and over or refusing to give us more of what made us love him. Read more

Review:Is she or is she not? That is the question surrounding Anna Anderson who insists she survived the massacre of her family in the basement. She claims to be Anastasia Romanov, the Russian Grand Duchess. She bears an uncanny resemblance to her and has many scars on her body that she says prove her identity. Back then dna testing was not available to prove or disprove her story.Fascinating yet horrifying this historical suspense is based on research the author has done. Many scenes and wording of se...

Review:Definitely Hitchcockian, exotic, with an ending I didn't expect. It easily could have been written in the 1950s, the decade in which it is set, except it was written in this decade--this writer really captures the elegant writing style of an era decades before she was born. Hard to do, but Mangan is successful at it. By the way, why do several reviewers who are critical of this book all spell Joyce Carol Oates's name incorrectly? Read more

Review:They say that "Go Tell It on the Mountain" is the book that James Baldwin had to right before he could right anything else. Like Job, Baldwin bears witness to the struggles of everyday African Americans in the era of Jim Crow.

In this particular novel, he looks at the effects from a number of different viewpoints, whether as a man struggling to find his identity in New York City, or a woman who was raped by a group of white men in the South.

The book meanders between reality and re... Read more

Review:In Bigger Thomas, Richard Wright has created the classic tragic figure - a character swept along by forces beyond his control who contributes to his own inevitable demise through his self destructive behavior.
Wright's remarkable and complex novel works on many levels. At the broadest level it is a novel about free-will vs. determinism - why do we do the things that we do? On a societal level it is the story of racism in America and the interaction between blacks and whites in the 1930's. ... Read more

Review:I was enjoying my first JD Robb when this horrible factual error showed up and kept beingn repeated. This must have driven any British fans bonkers. Fact Cornwall is the Southern most County in England. Fact residents ie. detectives would not speak with a "Broad Northern Accent" unless they put in for transfer. This obvious error is a horrible distraction and I hope that it isn't true of all JD Robb books or this will be first and last. Read more

Review:I love Eve and Roarke. Who wouldn't? I'm still reading through the series since I only discovered it a year or two ago and make myself take breaks in between so I won't run out of novels and be overwhelmed by sadness. In Born in Death, Eve has a mess of a different kind on her hands. Yes, of course, there's a murder in the form of a soon-to-be married young couple are found murdered, each in his/her own home. But, her best bestie in the world, fantabulous singer and far-out frosty babe Mavis is ... Read more
