 | Sign of the Cross Author: Subject: Literature & Fiction, Mystery & Thrillers Book Type: Paperback |
I removed this book from my bookshelf and threw my copy away. The main point of the book besides being an action/suspense book was to discredit the validity of the Bible and Jesus Christ as the risen Son of God. I personally believe that Jesus in the Son Of God and risen from the dead therefore I can't in good conscience pass this book on to other readers who may not be able to read this as "fiction".

 | Valentine: A Novel Author: Subject: Literature & Fiction, Mystery & Thrillers Book Type: Paperback |
This is the first Tom Savage book I've read and it won't be my last. He is a master of suspense. The character developement is excellent. I was absolutely shocked by the ending. It definitely left me speechless!
 | How the Light Gets in Author: Subject: Literature & Fiction Book Type: Paperback |
This was the type of book that was very fun to read and easy to imagine as a movie, but at the same time I feel that if it had been a movie I would have liked it more. It also bothered me that Lou is sixteen and is never turned down when she goes out to buy cigarettes or gin. It's little details like that that bother me, and the way this girl is never ever asked for her ID itched in the back of my head while I read this book. Still, it was fun to read.
 | The Hidden Messages in Water Author: Subject: Religion & Spirituality Book Type: Paperback |
This book was an eye-opener. I belive that you will never look at life the same if you take it to heart. In the health and wellness field, this information has become invaluable for my clients (and myself). This is a must-read for all intereted in natural healing.
 | Burglars Can't Be Choosers Author: Subject: Mystery & Thrillers Book Type: Paperback |
A neat little book. Very interesting with quite a twist. You find yourself rooting for Bernie, even if he is a burglar.
 | Highland Spirits Author: Book Type: Paperback |
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I found myself drawn into the story and I enjoyed the characters.
 | Beautiful Lies Author: Subject: Mystery & Thrillers Book Type: Paperback |
This was my first Lisa Unger book and I enjoyed it. Very well written and easy to grasp onto the characters. The characters and plot are well developed and just when you think you've figured it out, it isn't quite what you think.
 | Can't Get There from Here Author: Subject: Children's Books, Teens Book Type: Paperback |
A very good book that gives a brief view into the life of street kids. An easy read that gives adults an idea of where some kids heads are at and gives teens a window into what life would be like on the streets. I enjoyed the book and would suggest it to anyone with teens.
 | Now and Then Author: Subject: Mystery & Thrillers Book Type: Hardcover |
As usual, a great Spenser novel but it seems Parker is getting tired. This one had a lot of choppy dialogue and not a lot of his usual substance.
 | Flashman: From the Flashman Papers, 1839-1842 Author: Subject: Literature & Fiction Book Type: Paperback |
OK, what did I like?
Well, the voice of Flashman was good. Admittedly self serving and cynical, but also observant and reconciled with his own nature. The book did make me snicker at points, and for some odd reason I thought of two other characters, one historic one SF: Sir Richard Burton and James Kirk. Damned if I know why.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series and hopefully re-reading Flashman someday.
| The Biltmore: Beacon for Miami Author: Subject: History Book Type: Paperback |
The Biltmore Hotel is a Historic landmark located in the heart of Coral Gables. It was built in 1926 and has had many interesting guest and events held there which are outlined in this book.
 | The Manolo Matrix (Play.Survive.Win, Bk 2) Author: Subject: Mystery & Thrillers Book Type: Paperback |
Good story!
Melissa P. from DECATUR, AL wrote on 5/12/2008...
My baby slept better after the first night of using these techniques!! Amazing results if you follow this plan.
 | Gaia's Toys Author: Subject: Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Type: Hardcover |
Didn't finish -- just too dark and disjointed.
 | Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates Author: Subject: Literature & Fiction Book Type: Paperback |
Robbins is the finest stylist working today, as this madcap tale aptly demonstrates.
| The Day the Televisions Stopped Author: Subject: Literature & Fiction, Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Type: Hardcover |
Charming fantasy about a world suddenly deprived of television broadcasts, told from the viewpoints of many people who attempted to find out why.
 | Danielle Steel/the Glamour the Myth the Woman Author: Subject: Biographies & Memoirs, Literature & Fiction Book Type: Paperback |
If you enjoy Steel's novels, you'll like this breathlessly sycophantic "unauthorized" biography. If, on the other hand, you think of Steel as the writer of banal, pulpy potboilers, you'll yawn your way through this disorganized compendium that skims over disastrous marriages to felons but lavishly describes who wore what jewels to which fabulous party.
 | The Bonesetter's Daughter Author: Subject: Literature & Fiction Book Type: Mass Market Paperback |
Tan once again explores the prickly, dificult love between a China-born mother and her American-born daughter, complete with secrets buried decades past. I was halfway through this book when I realized I'd already read it. Is that a good sign or bad? ;-)
 | Eye of the Beholder Author: Subject: Literature & Fiction, Mystery & Thrillers Book Type: Hardcover |
David Ellis has proven that he truly has what it takes to be on the top. "Eye of the Beholder" is even better than his first novel.
 | The Bone People Author: Subject: Literature & Fiction Book Type: Paperback |
Powerful and disturbing book. An abused and traumatized child, a man whose dreams have died one by one, and a woman who has shut herself off from life come together in a mixture of violence and love that threatens to destroy all of them.
 | Dave Barry Slept Here: A Sort of History of the United States Author: Subject: History, Entertainment Book Type: Paperback |
Dave Barry proves once again that his strong suit is short columns. When he tries to string a book-length feature (this time a cockeyed take on the history of the United States), the result is lukewarm and only mildly humorous.
 | Goodnight Nobody Author: Subject: Mystery & Thrillers Book Type: Paperback |
A disappointment. The world does not need another bored-suburban-housewife-investigates-murder tale, even when the bored-suburban-housewife is one of Weiner's fully realized, quirky, bright women. The secondary plot involving the Guy That Got Away is good, but feels like it belongs in another book of its own.
 | Hot Flashes Author: Subject: Literature & Fiction Book Type: Mass Market Paperback |
“A generation must tacitly agree to remember certain things in certain ways and refuse to be dissuaded from its chosen version of the past. Otherwise, the past won't stay put. If we're not vigilant about preserving our own history, someone will always come along and try to correct our memories. And then how will we know who we were or who we are now?”
So Barbara Raskin begins “Hot Flashes”, a book by turns funny, vulgar, perceptive , outrageous " and brutally honest in every line. The novel tells of group of women who came to adulthood after WWII " the “Depression Era Babies” -- and lived through the challenging decades of the conformist fifties and strife-ridden sixties, coming together in 1985 when one of their friends dies unexpectedly. As they face their own mortality, look back over their lives, and come to terms with the future, they learn as much about themselves as they do about their friend's life.
It's not often a book literally brings me to tears, but the final scene of this one did just that.
 | Timeline Author: Subject: Mystery & Thrillers, Science Fiction & Fantasy Book Type: Hardcover |
Breakneck pacing marks this time-travel fantasy based on cutting edge quantum physics, as the heroes try to return a comrade to their own time while staying alive in the shifting and bloody politics of the Hundred Years War.
