I'll admit the reason I got started on the Midnight Breed series is b/c of the similarities with the BDB series. And it really delivers in that sense without being too similar, not to say this series cannot stand alone! Adrian writes intriguing...

I have one criticism for this whole series of books by Lara Adrian. She does not allow her characters to reach their full potential. Or maybe I should say they aren't allowed to release their inner caveman. The story overall is good and I...

I was not sure what to expect of this book. Mostly when I buy fiction I want to be entertained, and this book started out doing that pretty well. I have a hard time with books that stretch the boundaries of believability and this one approaches...

Like Bob's review I read to be entertained, but I like the story to at least stay within the real world boundaries for a story taking place in the real world. This book in several instances goes well beyond those boundaries. It is well written,...

This is the volume where everything turns around. Be ready for some serious drama and angst and some very bad news for the entire gang. Acid Tokyo is easily my favorite story arc of the entire series-- you won't be disappointed.

This is the story of three friends (and a new one on the way!) embarking on the lovely journey of motherhood. Or at least SURVIVING the journey! There were very funny parts of this book, but I have to say that I really did not like one of the...

Within the first couple of pages I had to put this book down FOR GOOD! The language was horrible and TOTALLY unnecessary to the story. I will not get another book by this author because I was so disapointed!

First, the good points--I enjoyed the story. It was a light read with a happy ending. The women's friendship was enjoyable. I was rooting for the happy endings. I loved two of the four main characters. The other two redeemed themselves at the...

I know that Churchill has been voted the man of century (20th century) and the savior of western civilization. All this may be true but it is also true-and this book confirms it-that he was a racist and an imperialist of the first order. He did...

This book is a mediocrity at best. An interesting idea that never comes to fruition. The author's understanding of Gandhi is embarrassingly limited. Although, those interested in either men will find stories perhaps untold in existing history...

This book changed my image of both men. I belive it removed the polish and made them human. Their strength was in the fact that both men could fall so far down and climb back to the top over and over again.

I love to escape into a good romance novel. I look for a novel that has believable characters, the kind of characters you want to cheer for and get to know better. I enjoy visiting other parts of the country and world through the vivid...

I have to agree with the review by J. Botton on the lack of substance in this book. Was very disappointed as have always loved anything by Luanne Rice. I guess if you knew French it would have helped a lot since she used a lot of French terms that...

This was my 13th Rice book as I've loved most of the others, but if this had been my first, it would have been my last. As my title shows, I found the characters boring and the whole story too predictable. Hard to believe Marie would have left...

Louis Lamour is a great storyteller. They often have an ending one cannot envision and they are of the old school in that they almost always turn out OK in the end even though sometimes there are suprize endings. I have all 5 books of his short...

I didn't read this book. But my husband just said last night someone else besides Louis L'Amour has written part or all of this book!! The wording used in this collection is very different than all the books he's read for years. He said the...

For someone like me who was around for Eric Clapton's early career with the Yardbirds, Bluesbreakers and Cream - this book is fantastic. The history, the bald honesty and the insights into the greatest blues guitarist in the world make this book a...

I love Eric Clapton, but this book is so boring I couldn't even finish it. There are way too many "english" terms in it and you can only read so much about his druggie days.
On the other hand, I really liked Patti Boyd's book-Wonderful Tonight.

Many Clapton fans were really disappointed in this book because they (me, included) discovered their hero was not the good guy they assumed he was. It is shocking, indeed, to read page-after-page of Clapton describing his shallowness, selfishness...

I don't remember how I found out about Bill Strickland's book but I think it was a recommendation by one of my favorite bloggers.

Well, let me tell you - this guy truly turned the tables around and gave new meaning to achieving the...
