True Blue
True Blue

Review:David Baldacci has always been a winner. I have purchased and read ALL his books but True Blue had so many unbelievable situations, I found myself saying, "yeah, right" with each one. Playing basketball with a killer in order to escape was just one example, but there were others. If this had been advertised as a fairytale, it might have worked but not for an adult reader. The two sisters were likeable characters and the young lawyer was o.k. but the feats of stupidity boggled the mind. C'mon... Read more

Deliver Us from Evil (Shaw Series)
Deliver Us from Evil (Shaw Series)

Review:well written, characters come and go and much later are included again, takes some concentration - hard to put down - wanting to know what happens next, the ending was impressive although it could have gone on for longer. Read more

The Simple Truth
The Simple Truth

Review:At last a REAL Baldacci book.
If only some of his other novels worked as well as this
The Camel Club? What a joke! The equivalent of the Avengers in print!
PLEASE more books in the likeness of John Fiske and John Robie , a nice tight plot and a joy to read.
I will look forward to the new Robie book out soon. I hope it succeeds where others have disappointedly failed ie Bullseye Read more

Saving Faith
Saving Faith

Review:A power struggle between FBI and CIA and the innocent victims caught in the crosswise. My favorite parts were the interactions between Faith and Lee. The intrigue was too detailed and lost my interest. Read more

Absolute Power
Absolute Power

Review:I like to read an author's books in the order that they wrote them. My local library did not have Absolute Power as the first of the David Baldacci series. I decided to buy the book and give it to the library. It was certainly not a disappointment! I can see why Baldacci has gone on to be a NYT best seller! Read more

The Count of Monte Cristo (Annotated)
The Count of Monte Cristo (Annotated)

Review:This great Dumas book is grossly ill served here by Maplewood/Mapleleaf publishing. It is filled throughout with typographical and other errors that should have been properly checked and corrected prior to publication, and which obviously were not. Amazon/Kindle should not be selling this book in this condition at all! Because of the errors throughout, the enjoyment of reading this story dwindles with each page. The publishers (Maplewood/Mapleleaf) obviously did NO proofing of this large novel a... Read more

The Black Company (Chronicles of The Black Company #1)
The Black Company (Chronicles of The Black Company #1)

Review:The hero is mighty and just. Despite inner-turmoils regarding love, family, morality, and life, the hero shows infinite compassion to his companions and absolutely no mercy to his enemies.

Welcome to an entirely different kind of medieval fantasy.

If you're sick of all of the monotony of modern medieval fantasy, this series comes highly recommended. I'm a bit of a veteran of medieval fantasy and science fiction, and let me tell you, this book takes the age old cliches and turns the... Read more

The Well of Ascension (Mistborn, Book 2)
The Well of Ascension (Mistborn, Book 2)

Review:I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It's the second in the mistborn series and highly addictive. I read the first one in paper back and once I got my kindle it was the first book I purchased. I would recommend for anyone who like sci-fi. Read more

The Hero of Ages: Book Three of Mistborn
The Hero of Ages: Book Three of Mistborn

Review:The first couple of chapters of book one were a little bit hard to get into as the "magic of the Mistborn World" was being incorporated into the story line, but the books just got better and better and I did not see the ending to this story coming as I have in so many other books, yet it was satisfying and logical.

The Rithmatist
The Rithmatist

Review:Brandon Sanderson never ceases to amaze me with his hypotheses of possibilities as to what is acceptable as a basis for "magic or mysterious happenings" with The Rithmatist he has come up with a whole new concept of enemies and ways to defeat them.
Well Done Brandon. Read more
