Review:A complicated and complex work, dealing with conflicting feelings of love and self-worth while trying to sort out what is real and what is not. The story reflects the lives, dreams and aspirations of a little understood, isolated, almost primitive population of people living in America. The book, however, focuses on a young girl searching for a place in her topsy-turvy world were little makes sense to her except her family, which is strong on family values but unable to protect her from ongoing ...

Review:It was probably worthy of more review stars but I was so miffed at it not being a fairy tale that i was in a temper with the book. Why on earth was it billed as a fairy tale? It would have been terrific to have this real live fairy princess living in America. Through most of the first chapter I thought "What a wonderful plot, having fairy people living openly." And to have her fall for a cowboy? - such innovation! Oh dear... turned out the book was about an ordinary human princess meeting a... Read more

Review:Loved this super sexy, funny story. The way it ended makes me think there is more to come, which will be awesome. If this turns into a series like Stepbrother With Benefits, it will be totally great. Grey and Fiona are super sexy together and I hope to see more from this couple. Read more

Let Me Lie: The Number One Sunday Times Bestseller

Review:Clare Mackintosh is a very clever suspense writer. Her books are filled with twists and turns until the very last page, sometimes the very last sentence. This one wasn’t quite as good as I Let You Go and I See You. It was a bit on the slow side to start, but once things started falling into place it quickly became a page turner. Told from multiple voices made it much more interesting and helped the story to flow well. A solid suspense that proves Mackintosh knows just how to captivate her a... Read more

Review:Round Two with Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom starts in July 1969. Ten years have past since "Rabbit, Run" and the 36-year-old is muddling through a ho-hum existence. His shot at the American Dream has fallen very short. The book delves into the Vietnam War, women's rights, infidelity, racism, drug experimentation and a youth culture disillusioned with the status quo. Rabbit, a product of an earlier generation, is confused and frightened by the social upheaval taking place around him. Nothing seems con... Read more

Updike

Review:Biographies cum Literary Criticism books can sometimes be dry but Begley's "Updike" reads like something from the New York Times bestselling fiction list. `Updike" is like Madmen on steroids. It briefly covers Updike's childhood in a small Pennsylvania town and then quickly moves into his Harvard years in the `50's and on to his work at the New Yorker Magazine and his best selling, award winning, (including two Pulitzer's) novel writing career. I've never been an Updike fan though his literar... Read more
