The Modigliani Scandal: A Novel

Review:Rambling and disconnected. Story line intriguing but all over the place, ending just seemed to drop off without a good finish.

Love every other book i've read by mr. Follett this one just fell flat. So many other good reads he's written before you open this one. Read more

Review:I saw the Alfred Hitchcock movie just prior to buying the book. The movie is outstanding, but the book is even better!! Even though it was written in 1950, it translate well into today. Definitely worth reading. Read more

Ripley's Game
Ripley's Game

Review:This is the third book in the Ripley series and Hightower delivers again. Our book club has decided to read this series as part of our bucket/book list. We have read two of the books in a row. We originally were going to read a book a year from the series but were so excited by the last one that we read this one the next month. Will see if we really wait a year. I have the movie now too but havent watched it yet. Read more

The Talented Mr. Ripley
The Talented Mr. Ripley

Review:I realize the point of Patricia Highsmith's Ripley novels is to make us dislike the character of Thomas Ripley. He is amoral, sociopathic, and quite possibly a psychopath. He has also never quite grown up. And I do dislike Ripley - INTENSELY.
But "The Talented Mr Ripley" deals with all its other major characters (with the exception of Dickie Greenleaf's father) in much the same way. They all appear to have a severe case of arrested development, and have never grown up emotionally an... Read more

Final Girls: A Novel
Final Girls: A Novel

Review:Final Girls was a good page turning thriller that had me questioning all of the characters, including our heroine, Quincy. However, I went into this book with really high expectations, having been praised by Stephen King as "the first great thriller of 2017", and was a little disappointed in the end.

Things I loved: The plot. I loved that Quincy couldn't remember what happened to her the night her friends were all slaughtered. I loved the very idea of The Final Girls. I loved the depth of... Read more
