Incredible book and philosophy. I enjoyed it, but it took me years to finish the actual ending. Not sure why! Perhaps too much to digest at one time. Dagny was quite the hero.

Super good King horror. The ending does not leave you up in the air. I know again why I truly hate cell phones!

Another fine mystery thriller book by Stephen King. I enjoyed this book but sure did not like going around old cars at night by myself after I read it! Enjoy this one.

This book typifies the essential Stephen King. Very much like 'The Secret Window', this story has many things that surprise you. As always, Mr. King has done it once again. Thanks for the good read, Mr. King!

Very suspenseful novel. This copy is even signed by the author! I enjoyed it quite a bit, so much so that I read it in record time for me!

Really good read. I could tell it was his first novel since I have read so many of the others. But as always, Dick Francis creates great interest in steeplechasing and just the entire British thing as well. Everyone who likes a good mystery should try this one out. It is now part of my collection and I am sure I will read it again someday!

Really a gripping book. Not a bad television series either! But then Stephen King knows how to weave that magic. This is a very entertaining book. Scary too!!

I enjoyed this book about taking life a full notch back. It was insightful and enjoyable to read. But the actual text is really the lesson we all should read and take to heart.

What a wonderful hook to get you engrossed in the trilogy! I truly enjoyed this book of Chalker's as I did enjoy the series. A very plausible story line with some really fun characters make this one a must read for anyone who enjoys Chalker or any sci-fi or sci-fantasy book.

Unusual book, but very well done. It is a fictional book and a good one. Some may find it problematic, but it is really good.

Since it was the last in the series, I guess it was the best. Really good ending! I highly recommend it to sci-fi and sci-fantasy readers alike. Good read y'all!


Mule Bone : A Comedy of Negro Life in Three Acts
Review Date: 9/6/2007


Good book, but it is sort of hard to read about some of your favorite authors and their dirty linen, so to speak. Too bad they never patched up their differences and produced this play. It would have been well received even back in the 30's!

Another great work of historical fiction by James Clavell. He builds on the Shogun work and leads you to the Tai-Pan as well. If you enjoy historical novels, his work will keep you enthralled!

Excellent as the second of the series as it keeps you hungry for more of the story of Sam and Brandy and the eternal struggle. Not sure if this one is the best of the three or not, you be the judge.
