Review:Loved it! Not only was the story line intricate, suspenseful, and very clever, but I could hear Hugh Laurie's wicked, dry sense of humor on every page. I'm sure that I giggled and out-right laughed so much that I had to stop reading more often than I gasped in surprise or said "Yikes!" outloud. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys thrillers, but it is an absolute must for fans of Hugh Laurie's comedic... wait for it... brilliancy! Read more

Review:I need to find a hidden cache of Janet Evanovitch books that no one has read, because her books are so good! This story had me bouncing up and down in my seat toward the end, willing Riley and Emerson and crew to move faster. Loved it! Read more

Review:I have bought Onion publications for my sons-in-law and then been sad that I had given them away. So I am keeping the book of Known Knowledge. I figure that I can help my grandkids with their oral reports at school. I am running for Grandmother of the Year. This will surely put me in the finals. . Read more

Review:I love the Thursday Next series and also the Nursery Crimes series and enjoyed this first book in his new series just as much. The book is filled with Fforde's usual puns, clever plays-on-words and general crazy ideas. I enjoyed the book as I was reading it, but after I finished it and could think about it as a whole I enjoyed it even more and plan to read it again. I am very glad this is the beginning of a series.

Review:Somehow Jasper Fforde manages to continue to innovate without the stories seeming contrived. He has created a fantastical world that I would love to visit. No spoilers here, you really should read Thursday's continuing story. Read more

Review:Like all of Jasper Fforde's books, Something Rotten combines literary allusion, alternate history and science fiction in a seamless narrative. In this installment of Fforde's Thursday Next series, Ms. Next, a real person who has spent the last several years living inside of books and leading the BookWorld's police force, Jurisfiction, returns to the real world to get back her husband, Landen. In a bizarre twist of circumstances that Thursday herself can't understand, the time-traveling police fo... Read more

Review:The Fourth Bear is the rare sequel that manages to top its predecessor. Peppered with Fforde's trademark wit and wordplay, its plot manages to be more intricate than The Big Over Easy without losing the reader; much like that book, Fforde hangs major plot points on loose threads from nursery tales (why *would* Goldilocks lie down and sleep in a house she just broke into, anyway?). And having the plot revolve around one of the most awful (in a good way) puns of all time - one that derives from a ... Read more

Review:Loved reading this painful narrative that focuses on the experience of a Japanese family, whose children are American citizens, yet are treated as potential threats to the USA during WWII. It's based on a historical event that was kept in the dark for a long time. Read more

Review:I bought this book after reading Night Film, which I loved. This being her first novel, it is definitely apparent in the writing and story line. While I did enjoy it, the story is very slow moving and lengthy in detail. The momentum doesn't really pick up until at least half way through. Read more

Review:Nick Offerman is humble, intelligent witty, and funny which can all be seen while reading this book. Extremely intelligent with a dark sense of humor underneath, this book is educational, humorous, and interesting. Nick explores the heroes of our history and debunks many myths along the way while also sharing his opinions from time to time. Love it Read more
