The Innocent
Harlan Coben
Signet
, 2006
Simple Plot with Complex Twists
Harlan Coben has yet to disappoint me. The Innocent is really not an overly complex plot, yet at the same time it offered depth that really kept me interested. The characters have complex personalities and the plot twists, as with all of Coben's books that I've read, ...
The Innocent Mage (Kingmaker, Kingbreaker)
Karen Miller
Orbit
, 2007
Too close to the archetype, but fun anyway.
So, this is supposed to be an epic fantasy. It almost goes without saying, then, that the story will follow the "hero's journey" archetype -- essentially all epic fantasy does. The trouble is, the story is just too thin. There isn't enough dressing on the ...
The Innocent Man: Murder and Injustice in a Small Town
John Grisham
Doubleday
, 2006
Eye Opener
I honestly didn't know that I was reading non fiction until I was about 30 pages into this book. It kept me interested from cover to cover and it really made me think. It is so terrifying that innocent men and women can go to jail on such little evidence...I will not ...
The Deluxe Transitive Vampire: A Handbook of Grammar for the Innocent, the Eager and the Doomed
Karen Elizabeth Gordon
Pantheon
, 1993
I think everyone should own a copy!
This is my very favorite grammar reference book of all time. With Karen Gordon at the chalkboard, learning grammar does not have to be boring.
Innocent Traitor: A Novel of Lady Jane Grey
Alison Weir
Ballantine Books
, 2007
Delightful read!
Not too long of a book, but you probably won't want to put it down. It brings a story to life from English history that we don't hear that much about, and yet, it seems like it is a story that needs to be told. You will enjoy this book if you like historical fiction of ...
Until Proven Innocent: Political Correctness and the Shameful Injustices of the Duke Lacrosse Rape Case
Stuart Taylor
,
KC Johnson
Thomas Dunne Books
, 2007
The devastating results of totalitarian 'liberalism'
Perhaps the clearest picture of the insidious forces of illiberalism that tried their best to deprive these young men of their freedom is obtained by drawing analogies with the McCarthyism of the 50s, as the authors do. It is frighteningly easy the way some people can ...
Three Complete Novels: "G" Is for Gumshoe, "H" Is for Homicide, and "I" Is for Innocent
Sue Grafton
Wings
, 2002
Three books in one-COOL!
It was so easy to read three in a row. I think I had the whole three books finished in three days! It's nice to have many books into one because then you don't have to buy the next one or wait to go to the library when it opens next, or even to see if the library has ...
The Innocent Man
John Grisham
Dell
, 2007
Great Book!
This is the very first book that I have read by John Grisham and since then I bought all of his books.
Innocent In Death
J.D. Robb
Berkley
, 2007
HER USUAL EXCELLENT READ
"The Death Series" just goes on & on with no let up in quality and no drop in one's pleasure in reading the book. She transports you to another New york City that's so much the same as today And so different but plausible that it could really be New York in 2059. But ...
Innocent as Sin: A Novel
Elizabeth Lowell
William Morrow
, 2007
Lackluster
I generally enjoy Lowell's books but this one was formulaic and lacked punch. The heroine and hero, Kayla and Rand, are all but stock characters, and their relationship is totally uninspiring. Luckily then for a great villain, Bertone, and his beauty queen wife, ...
Five Years of My Life: An Innocent Man in Guantanamo
Murat Kurnaz
Palgrave Macmillan
, 2008
American disgrace
In this book, translated from German, Murat Kurnaz, a German Turk, tells his tragic story. When only nineteen and an apprentice shipbuilder, while taking time off in Pakistan for religious study, he was hauled off a bus and imprisoned for a short time before being ...
I is for Innocent (Kinsey Millhone Mysteries)
Sue Grafton
Ballantine Books
, 2008
...
Kinsey is not enjoying her present state of unemployment, but she gets an opportunity when she pretty much inherits an older case of a man convicted of murdering his wife over money. Grafton cleverly battles the lifestyles of the rich and famous as well as intrigue ...
The New Well-Tempered Sentence: A Punctuation Handbook for the Innocent, the Eager, and the Doomed
Karen Elizabeth Gordon
Mariner Books
, 2003
Great Review
This is what needs to be taught in schools. I taught in high schools for several years and the punctuation was very bad. Any teacher can keep it handy for their own review or for lesson ideas.
On Job: God-Talk and the Suffering of the Innocent
Gustavo Gutierrez
Orbis Books
, 1987
"A Preferential Option for the Poor"
I am reading G. Gutierrez's book "ON JOB:God-talk and the suffering of the innocent" for the second time this summer (2000). I find it as refreshing and guiding as the first time that I read it several years ago. Not being a theologian, nor a biblical scholar, it ...
Innocent When You Dream: The Tom Waits Reader
Thunder's Mouth Press
, 2005
Multiple perspectives on Waits
In the absence of an autobiography, this collection of 38 interviews and profiles is essential for the Tom Waits fan. It opens with a foreword by Frank Black and an introduction by Mac Montandon. Part One: Early Years, contains the following amongst many others: The ...
