Review:This book contains 3 short Harry Bosch stories. One story is written when Harry is working on cold cases but reaches back to when he first started in law enforcement as a street cop. I enjoyed all 3 stories, even though they are really short and am anxiously awaiting the next Harry Bosch book. I love this character! Read more

Review:I almost fell for the negative reviews and passed on this one. What a mistake it would have been. After having read all other published works it was just right as a fill in before the release The Drop. Read more

Review:Any book that makes me cry while riding on the NYC subway deserves the description of touching.

In a few short pages, the author sets up a story of three women in transition. Family dynamics, career challenges, and geographical choices all play a role. It is well written and satisfying.

The reasons I didn't give it 5 stars are:
- it is too short
- I wanted a little more depth on the women's relationships with their husbands
- I wanted a little more consistency about the ... Read more

Review:Was disappointed on how short this installment of the series is. Also seems disconnected from the first chapter plot wise. Seems almost like a writing exercise than a genuine chapter. Well, there are 11 (?) more chapters to go, hope it gets better, Scalzi's a good writer most of the time.
UPDATE: have now read through chapter 8, and have a little better opinion of this chapter and the series.
It's not a traditional novel in the sense that these are chapters in ongoing plot and/or character... Read more

Review:This short Agatha Raisin mystery was a fun read for the holidays in true Agatha style. I like that she never changes making you say to yourself, "Oh, Agatha!" She's still a charmer and showed some of her often times hidden benevolent side which was nice for Christmas time. An enjoyable read. Read more

Review:I have told all my friends about M.C. Beaton the Agatha Raisin stories and of course Hamish McBeath. Thank you again for your great stories. Once I start a book I read it till the end. They are never dull and capture the reader from the beginning. Read more

Review:I have been a fan of Bourdain from his shows and love the way he narrates. The passion he has, not just for the food, but for the culture/places that the food comes from. His views are always insightful and i actually started cooking when i was 32, inspired by his shows. Never cooked in my life before that. Read more

Review:I Enjoyed the book, the reading flowed. Most of the concepts and sub-stories were very interesting and thought provoking.
However, the aliens were much too naive, and quite unbelievable as characters... Same things happening over and over and never learning - but maybe it strikes me because I AM human...

I would recommend it to my Sci-Fi/Skeptic friends who would probably enjoy it as well.

All in all a very pessimistic and optimistic story at the same time. Read more
