The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
Stieg Larsson

Knopf, 2010

Hornet's Nest and Trilogy
Have been reading since age 4 (am now 68) and mostly fiction for the past 50 years. A novel a week. This trilogy is, in my opinion, the finest series I have ever read and Hornet's Nest may be the very best piece of fiction I have ever read. I found myself purposely ...

For use in a special Ed classroom.
My students are hooked on this book series. They have gone from non readers to reading without it being assigned. Thank you.

The Last Olympian (Percy Jackson & the Olympians, Book 5)
Rick Riordan

Disney Hyperion Books for Children, 2009

Great Book
purchased this one after reading the 1st in the series, very good book, it is fairly easy with it being for kids/teens. I actually bought the entire series and finished all 5 in less then a week. If you read the Harry Potter series you will love this series just as ...
  
  











  



  
The Catcher in the Rye
J. D. Salinger

Back Bay Books, 2001

Oldie but goodie
I had to read this book in high school. Oh my, it was so scandalous back then. I wanted a copy after the author passed away and reread the book 40 years after the first time. How our morals have changed. Still an awesome book. R.I.P. J.D.
  
  











  



  
Let the Great World Spin: A Novel

One of the best books I have read in a long time!
An excellent novel...engrossing, vividly written, lyrical, and ambitious...captures the experience of living in New York from the perspectives of several characters who turn out to have unseen connections to one another. The characters are unique and interesting, and ...
  
  











  



  
The Help
Kathryn Stockett

Amy Einhorn Books/Putnam, 2009

The Help
Amazing Book. I read this while on vacation and was able to finish it in only 4 days. The different stories were so interesting and it felt like I knew them and could feel their emotions. Well written for the time.
  
  











  



  
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Paperback Boxed Set (Books 1-3)
Rick Riordan

Hyperion Book CH, 2008

I know it when I read it, and this IT, is it. A good time in your hands.
A page turner because of the imaginative scope. I like imaginative and this one takes the cake for coming up with non-standard action that sucks you in, and there is crack up (humor) from every sector. Set in our world while reading except through Percy's eyes. And ...
  
  











  



  
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Vintage)
Stieg Larsson

Vintage, 2009

Wow..
Stylish and engaging neo-noir novel. English is my second language, but I find this book is really to follow, yet complex enough to think about. The writer had a unique style that I can't get enough. Love it.

Dear John
Nicholas Sparks

Grand Central Publishing, 2009

Love this book
I just loved this book. What an enjoyable read. The ending was not what I would have preferred, but it was done so well, that I was okay with it, and even in agreement. I enjoyed it and will read it again.
  
  











  



  
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Random House Reader's Circle)
Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows

Dial Press Trade Paperback, 2009

Fun Slice of History
If you love historical fiction, you'll love this book! I wasn't even aware of the extent of the British Isle occupation during WWII. This book gave a glimpse of the daily life and hardships during the war, but was also a tribute to the human spirit.
  
  











  



  
Cutting for Stone (Vintage)
Abraham Verghese

Vintage, 2010

Deeply moving
This epic book had all the workings of a masterpiece. You knew, really knew the characters (although my only gripe is that it took a LONG TIME to get to know the background of characters, and that seemed to interfere with the plot from progressing at first). That being ...
  
  











  



  
Worst Case
James Patterson, Michael Ledwidge

Little, Brown and Company, 2010

One of the better Patterson releases
Patterson and his co-authors release 8 or 9 annually. This is one of the best of the recent releases, if not the best.
