Review:Out of all of Ray Bradbury's prodigious gifts, perhaps none is greater than his ability to capture the true essence of childhood in a timeless manner. While his most prolific period is now four decades past, Bradbury's descriptions of the hopes and fears of childhood still strike a powerful chord; in particular, he is able to capture the fears of childhood from an adult's perspective, without in any way minimizing them.
In "Something Wicked This Way Comes" the reader is treated the pinnacle ... Read more

Review:The plotting was wonderful as always with Ken Follet but there was too much unnecessary explicit sex to my taste. Also, I think the ending fell flat but still did not take away from the plot or characters. I love his building of characters. I would recommend this book especially if you like intrigue, romance, and world events in one volume. Ken Follet is one of the best historical fiction writers today. Always a good read. Read more

Review:Browsing in "Books and Books" in Coral Gables, near the setting of this story when I came across an autographed copy of his book "A Death in Live Oak". Author is a South Florida attorney and instructor at U of Miami so I grabbed a copy for me and one for the friend I was joining for dinner who is also a South Florida attorney. Now Live Oak is a long way from Miami so I also grabbed this book in trade paperback so I could get a sense of how he handles South Florida and to become acquainted with h... Read more

Review:Upton Sinclair at his best. The story of an accidental "secret agent" and the traps he falls into. The innocent victims this poor man takes with him is another example of the tyranny of the Fascist regimes Sinclair despises. It is an excellent example of this man's skills, never failing to keep the reader guessing as to where the grim tale will lead. If you like Sinclair with "The Jungle" and "King Coal", you will enjoy this one, too. Read more

Review:I need to find a hidden cache of Janet Evanovitch books that no one has read, because her books are so good! This story had me bouncing up and down in my seat toward the end, willing Riley and Emerson and crew to move faster. Loved it! Read more

Review:An easy read but there were a number of small sub plots that seem to disappear. Author should have worked harder to tie things together at the end. Example: (without giving away the story) there was an inside source of information; it was never identified or tied into ending events. Doubt if I'll read other books by this author. Read more

Review:I listened to it while driving on my Kindle, so I can't provide feedback for proper grammar or spelling. It did keep me interested and awake while listening, though. Would read another of his books, if the opportunity arises. I drive almost 600 miles a day for work, so I'm sure I'll get that opportunity soon. Read more

Review:I began reading this one night and was hooked right away. I love the way the author narrates the story through the husband. All his thoughts are known as he thinks, speaks, and we are left wondering if his wife is thinking what her husband thinks she's thinking. A page turner for sure. One of the most interesting and entertaining books I've read in a very long time. If you like psychological thrillers, don't miss this one. Read more

Review:I love Sandford. But in this instance I feel as if I had read the book previously...too many similarities to previous Sandford books.
Sex crimes, sex crimes involving children...I like the Flowers series, but if we are going to have a new detective, what about some new crimes types for him to solve! Stop recycling and create a story line as powerful as that of Davenport. Read more
