Review:One of the best short story collections I've read. Sometimes Doerr becomes a little too enamored with word-play, but that's probably because he's so great at it. That would be my only complaint. Which should speak highly of him. Read more

Review:Love the Eve Dallas series. These stories continue with great characters, evolving relationships and great story lines. The advances in technology are fascinating, the concepts intriguing. I can't wait for the next book in the series. Read more

Review:Excellent collection of stories....have a new interest in this genre and this was a perfect intro to some new writers. I know now which I'd like to pursue and read other books by some of these authors. Totally worth the read! Read more

Review:This is the first collection of Poirot short stories, originaly published in 1924. Christie appears to have been very heavily influenced by the Sherlock Holmes stories while writing these. The relationship between Poirot and Hastings is very like that of Holmes/Watson, the stories in general are reminiscent of some of the Sherlock Holmes stories, particularly "The Veiled Lady" and "A Scandal in Bohemia". While the tone and settings of the stories are somewhat derivative the solutions are pure ... Read more

Review:Thirteen Ways of Looking, by Colum McCann, Penguin Random House, October 2015, hardback, 256 pages

This, the first of Mr. McCann's work I have read, has prompted me to add his earlier writing to my ever-growing TBR pile.

Review:Paranormal alternate universe with sex. The 7th of the series.

This is not the one to start with! Start at the beginning. As one who has read them all, this is a nice addition to the series. Janvier & Ash's story. We get why Ash is the way she is & how she's struggled to keep Janvier at a distance.
We also get a lot of Naasir, which he's been the least explored of the Seven. Elena & Raphael also get some time in this one. Sorry it's already read. Have to wait another year... Read more
