Having read almost all or George Orwells works, I find that ANIMAL FARM really shows what the HUMAN animal does to his fellows. I find myself quoting this book when discussing politics and the state of the human existance. This book is short enough that even those with short attention spans could finish it.

A wonderful story of murder and intrigue. Craig Johnson entwines old established characters, fringe characters and introduced some new characters. This story is absolutely right up there with the great detective novels. DOG really shows another dimension to his already colorful character.

Casca once again survives where a mere mortal man would not. The story was too long and drawn out. The delivery of Casca was too grandiose in his thinking and reflections of his lot in life. A good story line that should have been shorter.

By far this is still the best part of the CASCA legacy. Sadler fleshed out the man, his world, his curse and his demons. Without this piece of the story, the rest are incomplete.

One of the better stories of the eternal warrior. Blessed by a loving wife and a loyal friend, Casca becomes Lord of a hold and the lands surrounding it. Definitely one of the better stories.

A well written Stephen King story. An intriguing who-dunit story that was well conceived and well executed. Once again we get an isiders view of the monds of the New Englander minds. They way they view those that visit and even those that come and stay. Two crotchety old newspaper men school a youg journalist on the way of the world. Was a really good read. If your looking fro the supernatural or the arcane, this is not the book for you.

This is my first reading of a Gregory Maguire story. He effortlessly incorporates the familiar story lines of "CINDERELLA" that many of us grew up with. He provides a fleshing out of the barebones story by adding details and characters to the story. The characters are presented in such a way as to almost be real and able to leap from the page.

I know these people. I have always been impressed with how Scott Adams nails the engineering and corporate worlds. I have had a pointy haired boss and I see these people everywhere.

Although I enjoy the movie based on this book, I find that the story is more complete and richer in content than that told in the movie. As we destroy this planet this is a possible view of tomorrow. Where those that are less than "perfect" are left behind to deal with the what is left. One of Phillip K. Dicks better stories, I recommend it to others for reading.

This is my first Qrson Scott Card novel and I was pleasantly surprised. The character and story development smoothly advanced without either suffering. I ran through the story fairly quickly and was satisfied that this story could stand alone. I know that there is much more to the ENDER saga, and I will pursue it in the future. I will seek out more works of this author.

A great way to continue a good story. Having read this book in the past, I was struck by the dated technology references. David Morrell is an engaging writer that draws the reader into the story and gets you to invest in the characters and the situation, as if it was your own story.
Review Date: 10/1/2014
To be given a choice between a certain death or an unknown future to survive is a novel approach to the beginning of this book. This was a fast read with good plot and character development. The story comes to an stand alone end or allows the reader to hope for more.

This book was recommended by one of my co-wrokers. I stumbled upon this unabridged copy and I was glad that I read it instead of an abridged version. I think that because this book was written by a socialist, that we get a clearer view of what was going on in America at that time. Not only does this book give the reader insight into the meat processing companies of the day, it also talks to the over all plight of the American immigrants and how American industry and politics were slanted towards corruption. You can feel the anguish of the characters as they struggle for just the basic requirements for survival. This is a good history lesson and is a good read.

As always, Craig Johnson brings you to the brink of understanding then spins you in another direction. Well written story of the characters you have come to enjoy. Walt and his crew are "real" in the sense that you can feel their pain, their loss and their thoughts.

We meet Jack Reacher just as he is being arrested. The story develops quickly. The back stories come out in a good succession and with just enough to keep you asking 'WHAT ELSE IS THERE'. The characters make sense to the story, even if they are obscure references that do not seem to play an integral part. I will continue to read more about JACK REACHER.

A well written love story with a twist of not only in the story, but of the heart. Set in the period from WWI to WWII the reader has a glimpse into a small neighborhood of a small New England town and how the lives of the people their intersect. This genre of book is not my cup of tea, but it came highly recommended and it was worth my time to sit and to enjoy. I will be looking into books from this author.

A standard PKD novel, where it takes time to tie it all together. I loved the way he entwined other fictional books within the cloth of his story. As always, I was left with the hunger for more of his writings.

A great way to interest in technologies and great graphics for training.
