Mystery
Review:Are you kidding me? Who are these people who don't believe this is a good book? The last third may seem to let down the first two thirds, but if you knew anything about Heinlein, you'd know that the beginning is just a warmup. In order to understand "Cat" you have to have read "Time Enough for Love" and "The Number of the Beast" in that order. "Sail into the Sunset" is set at about the same time as "Cat" (not that time has much meaning to these people) and would also be helpful. If you hav... Read more
Review:What a shame he died! Yet the story that takes the history of mankind "ad absurdum" will stay forever with all those who like to look at things from more than one angle. He sometimes uses too many words but the whole book is worth every minute of reading and is funny enough to occasionally be reread. Read more
Review:I was excited to read the first of this series but sorry to discover that the poor translation made the read choppy, stilted and seem dated. The main character, Montalbano,is one I would have loved to pursue, but I don't think I'll spend any more of my time on this series.
A decent story line and some interesting relationships and characters but the translation got in the way. Most unfortunate.
If you read Italian, I would suggest reading this in its original language; I'm sure it ... Read more
Review:I’ve always liked Bohjalian but this one did me in. The main character was flat, the plot was repetitive, the writing juvenile, and the whole thing a waste of time. At least if I’m going to read a trashy spy novel I know what I’m getting. This book was a huge let-down. I expected so much better. Not sure if I’ll bother to read his next book. Read more
Review:I've enjoyed every one of the collection. I'm addicted! Love LT Dallas, Eve...and Roarke and all the other main characters. It holds my interest throughout the book and makes me want to get the next book to find out what's going to happen next. Never a dull moment. Read more
Review:While each book could be read independently, I have enjoyed reading the series in order. I like mysteries because the crimes are solved in the end, unlike real life when crimes are not always solved. The visual language brings the cases into reality in the imagination. Read more
Review:(More like 4.5 feathers!)

Review:I was hooked on Eve Dallas since the 1st book....love everyone of them...liked that this was set out of her comfort zone of New York and into the demons of the past and present in Dallas.....it is time that the LT becomes a captain....and would like it to include Mavis, Charles and Somerset in the stories more than just peripheral characters.....

Review:The characters come to life in this series and you will feel like you are visiting with old friends every time you read the next book. Vivid descriptions so you actually feel like your watching a film rather than reading a book. I love love love it!! Read more
Review:I love the JD Rob in Death Series and could not wait for price to go down. My fault I didn't see that it wasn't paperback! But......That didn't stop me for a minute. The book was delivered in condition as promised and well within the time it was promised. I'd recommend buying used books from Amazon to everyone. You can't beat the price for new titles. Read more
