Very good book- a little different than most in this genre. This book was riskier than most, having the heroine living as a man, her loss/abuse from her first marriage. Both H&H were likeable, enjoyable characters. A very good story with some nice twists. I would definitely recommend this book.

Personally, I liked this even better than Da Vinci Code. I would definitely read Angels & Demons first, as it is the first introduction of the main character, Robert Langdon. It is packed with action and info, and never seems to stop until the very end. A great book!

Great "romance" type book for the 30-something crowd, especially if you are an Anglophile.

Another great addition to the Bernie Rhodenbarr series, with all the great dialog and humor we expect.

A very nice, fluffy addition to the pink "chick lit" from England. Well written.

Definitely the worst Jennifer Crusie book I've read. Too short by far!! It was a nice story, but it really should have been longer, the ending just fell.

Another great edition in the Kinsey Millhone series, even if, as Kinsey says at the end, she is "simply a minor character in someone else's play."

One of my favorite Christies (and I've read them all), as it combines the usual masterful intrigue with humor and romance- a perfect combination!

I have enjoyed other books by Laura Kinsale, but this one was disappointing. It started out well, had an interesting premise, but got bogged down in some odd, vague, distracting "magic". The supernatural parts of this book were clumsy to me, and detracted from the book. It took a turn into a darker area that just wasn't as interesting as the beginning of the book. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't what I had hoped for.

Great book, better than I expected (I just didn't really like Mrs. Harris in the previous books, nor her correspondance with 'Cousin Michael'). A very good story all around.
