Dan Brown is a horrible writer who rips off bogus theories, hides behind the label "fiction" (though claims he believes the majority of material in his conspiracies), employs immature/cliched...
This is the first Dan Brown novel I have read and it is incredible. Definately the best thing I have read in a while. The characters were well written and the plot keeps you turning pages.
I both very much like and dislike this book. I found it both engrosing and hard to put down but I also found it to too often delved into the improbable and the impossible. My first alarm was with...
I had just finished slogging through the last 4 Cornwell books and had decided that I was through with Kay Scarpetta unless there is some drastic change in Cornwell's writing when I read a review...
This is my first Kathy Reichs novel. I have a problem with 1st person narratives. One has to love the narrator to put up with her for hundreds of pages. Tempe is fine but not for hundreds of...
Humor is not Kathy Reichs's strong point. Try as hard as she might (and she REALLY tried!), Sue Grafton or Janet Evanovich, she is not. The sarcastic sniping she sprinkled into "Break No...
I enjoyed this book very much and in many situations it hit home with me. It was funny, sad and a learning experience. It will make you laugh, cry and think about what you have gone through and...
I am beginning in a book club for the first time and this is the book they choose to read. I am basically a non-fiction reader, mostly financial books but I felt this book club would be a good way...
It's a good book, interesting story, well written. It's a fast read. We read it for our book club. Most of us liked it. A couple people were dissappointed and felt it could have been better....
My wife and I typically don't read Connelly, we listen to him on tape. Black Echo is typical of his Harry Bosch books and is a great listen. You will not be disappointed.
The latest crisply efficient entry from the increasingly infuriating Daniel Silva that spins another tale of the Mossad's moral superiority. The action's good here and the book's more enjoyable...
The premise is intriguing; a terrorist plot perpetrated at locations around London causes death, destruction and a diversion to the kidnapping of the daughter of the ambassador from the United...
I read a lot of mystery-thrillers and generally feel that most five-star ratings on this site suffer from grade inflation. David Hosp is the real deal, however. His main characters - Finn, Koz and...
Vincente Salazar, a doctor from San Salvador, also an illegal immigrant, has been wasting the last fifteen years away in prison, allegedly for the brutal attack on a female cop left paralyzed. He,...
For a break from all of the holiday cheer I picked up PALINDROME by an old favorite author Stuart Woods. The 300 pages flew by as he pulls the reader deep into the sands and time of Cumberland...
I found the dialogue laughable when Mr. Woods didn't intend it to be. The climax lasted about two pages. I figured out the "secret" of the twins before I was halfway through the book. There was so...

Eight years ago, someone tried to kill New York Attorney General Liz Shaler while she was vacationing at her second home in Sun Valley, Idaho. Rookie cop Walt Fleming happened to notice something...
But it was given to me. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it was fast paced and well written. I had a hard time putting it down. I hope this is the start of a great series.

ok Iles isnt much different than James Patterson but unlike Patterson, Iles actually takes soem time to descibe a scene in more detail....and give us a mental picture of the things going on in the...
An overly long series of sadly missed opportunities!
EROS is a high end, very expensive, intensely private and ultra-kinky erotic on-line chat room service. When several normally high frequency users of the service drop off line but continue to allow...
I really enjoy Greg Iles work. As I have said in other reviews, he is simply the best in the mystery thriller area. But this is not his best. It is too long, too lurid in some respects. And his...
I'm glad I didn't read this book as my first Greg Iles' book. He's one of my favorite authors and you can definitely tell this is his debut novel. This book needed an editor. It was way too long...
I have only recently discovered Greg Iles' books. On a recent trip to Reno, NV, I finished the book I had, and went to the gift shop to purchase another book. Being a fan of Ann Rule, Grisham,...
Having previously read Greg Iles's "Dead Sleep" which I thoroughly enjoyed and found to be both creepy and exciting, I approached this one with a lot of eagerness and interest.
This book is classic Lindsey, it's fast paced and a taunt thriller. I am a huge fan of his work and even though, I would not say this is his best work, it is still better than the best work of...
Now that I am finished with this novel and have moved on to my next read, I am having a hard time remembering much about David Lindsey's "An Absence of Light". Being a big fan of concise writing...
"It all came down to a business transaction...Twenty million for a life."
With Saudi businessmen of almost unimaginable wealth supporting and financing Al Quaeda terrorists, anything can be bought, including lives. In what is arguably Silva's strongest novel, the...
I just read about half of the Daniel Silva book The Messenger. In the past I have devoured lots of standard thrillers like Ludlum before strarting more "serious" literature or non fiction....
When I close a book after two pages..that tells me something. Shame on you for your animal abuse and giving an idea to all the crazy nuts in the world. I am so glad I got this book from the...
Mary Jane Clark works in broadcasting, so she knows the world from inside the media. This experience brings realism to her novels that might not exist if an author is merely doing the research.
Loved the characters and the plot was fun, exciting, engaging, compelling and suspenseful. This is a great thriller and it makes me want to read all Perry's stuff.
Vengeance is mine, sayeth the Lord. If you saw the movie, Mongul, there is a lesson to observe about how the Mongolian fighters used any means to destroy their enemies. There are entities on...
A solid 4 1/2 stars. This book is so good. Tami Hoag creates a heroine and hero with such complexity and depth that the story immediately draws you in. I really loved it. Hoag is such a wonderful...
I thought she should have spent more time in South Louisiana reserching for this book. First of all resturants around here do not sell Rhubarb pie. At the very least she could have used real...
Cry Wolf involves the unlikely relationship between two characters because of their "baggage." This wasn't my favorite Hoag book because I found the lead characters hard to really like. Now there...
