Review:Penny is right on. This is real, in-character conflict. (Albeit on a GRAND scale.). This is believable interpersonal devastation. Way to go, Reid. Let's get another early release, shall we? Say, tomorrow? Read more

Review:This series just got better and better as it went. Normally the opposite is the norm, but in this case each book outdoes the other. I loved how the characters evolved and grew throughout the story. Wonderfully well written and balanced between erotic, funny, heartwarming and romantic. I loved it! Read more

Review:This book was over too soon! I absolutely love the Winston brothers series. Actually, I love all of the books written by Penny Reid! I love that her characters are funny, quirky and flawed, with real life problems and issues. Cannot wait for the next in the series! Read more

Review:Margaret Atwood's most recent work, The Blind Assassin, is a masterful piece of prose.
The book attempts a feat of immense proportions. Iris Griffin-Chase, the narrator, is a woman in her mid-eighties. She is in the process of writing her memoirs, and in the process sharing them with us. Not only does she tell of her life, however, but she intersperses sections of a novel written by her sister, Laura Chase, who died tragically at a young age under mysterious circumstances. The ending is a... Read more

Review:Chris Bohjalian has hit another one out of the ballpark with this one! He always finds a way to treat timely and controversial issues in such a way that the reader loves and identifies with his characters, is deeply engaged in the story line, and learns a great deal painlessly. The teen-age voice of his narrator rings true and tugs the heart strings. My only regret: I didn't buy the hard copy to pass along to my friends. Read more

Review:It started with the introduction from both sites view, what they do, what they think about marriage. He is believing in a fairy tale wedding, she is not.
All in all the writing did not suck you in, it's kind of boring. Not my book.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book. Read more

Review:This story envelopes your sense of romance, the challenges of 'true' love, the 'adventure' of being a 'responsible' parent, and the human spirit when all goes so terribly wrong. What is it that makes a parent responsible? What is it that makes this story so wonderfully Italian? Though this story's theme and narrative is 'universal,' for me its essence is Italian. I've never lived in Japan, but I studied and lived in Italy, and I've been fortunate to travel throughout Italy on many occasions, and... Read more

Review:This is a sad, depressing story about people who allowed their lives to get hopelessly screwed up, and then suffer the consequences. The main issues didn't seem to get resolved (or if they did, I didn't understand it). Read more

Review:Its an Bernard Cornwell tale of Uthred and as such it is of course well written and very entertaining. That being said I find it the one if the lesser instalments in the series. The story line this time around is interely fictious and Cornwell uses it to (rather of handedly) tie several loose knots and bring Uthred in a position to start the final battle for Bebbanburg.
Uthred is by far my favourite Cornwell hero but I fear his author seems to have grown a bit bored with him. My gues is the ... Read more
