Review:I've enjoyed Linda Howard's books in the past. However this one was a total fizzle. I do not like reading in the 1st person format. Wish I had known before purchasing, eitherwise I would not have bought this book. The entire story line is so far fetched. All the dialogue & romance from the leading guy? Where did Linda dream up this guy anyway? He dumps a woman for no reason at all and then 2 years later, he's bedding her within 24 hours after hooking up with her again. First of all, ... Read more

Review:Nothing compared to his other books/works. It sucks that Sedaris has developed a fan base that he caters to by repackaging the same content over and over or refusing to give us more of what made us love him. Read more

Review:Nobody wanted to do it, but ... Pynchon went "back in," and pulled out this bit of mythologizing from the ugliest part of our (human) history: the momentum that was allowed to pass, extending the lifespan of us Westerners beyond age 45 (on average), as a result of the machinations running their "course" ...

Where IS "In the Zone" (Chapter 3)? Is it ... William Burroughs's "Interzone," a boundary-less land beyond nation-states, that Tyrone Slothrop's been pushed into, to stay one step ah... Read more

Review:If you like bravura prose this is a must-read; if your taste runs to short, affect-less little sentences don't bother, this is not the book for you. How good is good? This good: the essay on the tennis pro is so moving, profound, and brilliantly crafted you'll want to read it twice in a row, even if you cultivate an active dislike for sports in general and athletes in particular, as I do. The essay on the Illinois state fair is so vivid, intense, funny, sad, and deep that you'll not only fee... Read more

Review:I read and listened to my dad read "Calvin and Hobbes" comics to me as a kid so this comic strip has always had a special place in my heart. It' funny, it's smart, and generally anybody of any age can enjoy this comic series. I definitely recommend this book and the 10th anniversary book for anyone who loves or wants to try "Calvin and Hobbes." Read more

Review:As one Amazon reviewer said, this book is like the nightmare you can't rouse yourself from. Ryder, the principal character, arrives in a town he recognizes--or maybe doesn't--for an event he can't quite recall having committed to. He meets the butler in the hotel, who is also his father-in-law--or at least the father of the woman who may or may not be his wife. This pattern is repeated over and over, as Ryder constantly finds himself praised for doing nothing, or criticized for breaking commitme... Read more

Review:I can see a lot of people hating this book, because the main plot involves a 90 year old falling in love with a 14 year old virgin whore. And taken at face value, a lot of what goes on in this story can be pretty twisted--but having said that, I really don't think you're supposed to take this story at face value. The main protagonist, when you take a step back, is sad, and his insides are contorted with nostalgia and a lack of fulfillment in his life. I don't want to spoil too much, but it's pre... Read more

Review:I was hoping that being a Hunter fan that I'd enjoy this book but it was a really difficult read. It's slow and not any fun or even insightful. What great subject matter not to have a really cool story but it never came together at all. This is a pass and I must admit I couldn't even finish the book. Read more
