Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal

Christopher Moore

Harper Paperbacks, 2003

Makes You Think
Mr. Moore is a genius, and this book proves it. You have to applaud him for being so bold. It doesn't hurt that the book is funnier than it has the right to be. If you need a light laugh with a touching ending, buy this worthy novel. If only the Bible was this ...

Duma Key: A Novel

Stephen King

Scribner, 2008

Stephen King vacations at beach after visiting the Dark Tower, lucky for us!
Being one of King's "constant readers" I was happy to hear about Duma Key getting good reviews. My head is still ringing from the Dark Tower series. I assumed that when a writer begins to write himself into his novels there must be nothing left to write about. But ...

The Outlaw Demon Wails (Rachel Morgan, Book 6)

Kim Harrison

Eos, 2008

Her best yet
I can't believe that I waited to get this book from my local library rather than buying it, like I have all of the others. I had been disappointed in the last couple of books. I came away intending to reread the series from start to finish, and I'll definitely be ...

Personal Demon (Women of the Otherworld, Book 8)

Kelley Armstrong

Spectra, 2008

An excellent book in an excellent series
This book is about Hope (a chaos loving half demon), her off and on boy friend Karl (werewolf jewel thief). Their friends Page and Lucas (witch and sorcerer) also get involved when Lucas' father Benicio (head of a Cabal; think Mafia family for supernaturals disguised ...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight, Volume 1: The Long Way Home

Joss Whedon, Andy Owens

Dark Horse Comics, 2007

Graphic SF Reader
This is great. At least until the investigate the fate of one of Buffy's doubles issue, but Whedon totally nails this for the story arc part, and the art is pretty reasonable, too, if a little shakier on some of the minor characters like Andrew, etc. With ...

Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana (Christ the Lord)

Anne Rice

Knopf, 2008

Christ the Lord Road to Cana
After reading Ms Rice's Christ the Lord out of Egypt I had to read this book too. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommended it everyone I know. It tells the story of a part of Jesus' life we know little to nothing about and makes it so believable that it could ...

Single White Vampire (Argeneau Vampires, Book 3)

Lynsay Sands

Love Spell, 2003

great book, so worth the wait
of course, love lynsay sands, this book was very good. love the humor and romance.

Betrayed (House of Night, Book 2)

PC Cast, Kristin Cast

St. Martin's Griffin, 2007

As Excellent as the First!
In our second story, Zoey Redbird has become more than just "special" - she's been gifted with paranormal powers by the Vampyre's goddess, Nyx and has a unique mark that no other fledgling has (a fledgling is the stage before becoming a Vampyre. It is hard on all ...

All Together Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries, Book 7)

Charlaine Harris

Ace, 2008

All Together a Great Read
I found this installment of the Sookie series a little harder edged than previous novels. Sookie's life, while still hilarious at times, has become more complicated. She faces more moral "gray" areas and dilemmas than in previous books. Quinn is still delicious and I ...

Blood Noir (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter, Book 16)
Laurell K. Hamilton

Berkley Hardcover, 2008

Readers can’t get enough of the #1 New York Times bestselling author. A favor for Jason, vampire hunter Anita Blake’s werewolf lover, puts her in the center of a fullblown scandal that threatens master-vampire Jean- Claude’s reign—and makes her a pawn in an ancient vampire queen’s new rise to power.

Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt: A Novel

Anne Rice

Ballantine Books, 2008

great christian read
I was a little skeptical about the portraial of Christ by Anne Rice. She does have a history of writting dark books. I was very suprised and loved the way she wove the historical account of his life in with a real life account of the way it could of happened.

You've Been Warned

James Patterson, Howard Roughan

Little, Brown and Company, 2007

I guess I'm Crazy...
But I loved this book, LOL. It had a completely breakneck pace all the way through. I think someone described it as "one note..." Well, that one note for me was a giant crescendo from start to finish. I think the book does a good job of building tension page after ...

Day by Day Armageddon (A Zombie Novel)

J. L. Bourne

Permuted Press, 2007

Must buy!
If you are an apocalyptic world/Zombie fan this book is for you. Diary format is awesome and technical aspects are accurate (I am a military guy myself). Reading the first 70+ pages on-line hooked me and I had to buy the book. Can't wait for Part II, as the ending of ...

The Stand: Expanded Edition: For the First Time Complete and Uncut (Signet)

Stephen King

Signet, 1991

Introduced to Stephen King with this book
I picked this book up after enjoying the genre from Robert McCammon in Swan Song. I thought The Stand started off slow, but kept reading. Glad I did. Turned into my all time favorite book. I read the original version 6 times over the years. This version, I read 4 ...

Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: The First Death

Laurell K. Hamilton, Jonathon Green, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

This is a comic book people, read the fine print before you buy for Gods sake
Okay this was a great entertaining bit about Anita's past, that is all. It is a comic book, so if you don't like comics, don't buy it. It doesn't add anything really new, just gives you a comic idea of how it all kind of began, like it was explained in the first Anita ...
