The Other Queen: A Novel

Philippa Gregory

Touchstone, 2008

Not her best foray
This is by no means Gregory's best foray into Tudor-era historical fiction (that honor is still reserved for The Other Boleyn Girl), nevertheless, I would recommend this book to fans of her other works. It gives a decent fictional insight into the lives of two other ...

Sail

James Patterson, Howard Roughan

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

The Patterson name must be a stamp.
James Patterson has written some memorable thrillers but Sail seems to be written by a ghost writer who is new (or tired) of the genre and pushed to this book on the masses using the Patterson label. Don't get me wrong, this is a quick and easy read, but the characters ...

World Without End

Ken Follett

Dutton Adult, 2007

Why did it have to end? Great book!
Having read "The Pillars of the Earth" earlier this year, I didn't wait long to pick up this volume. The first three hundred pages were very reminiscent of the first book, but then it came into its own. Contrary to the few reviewers on this site who panned the book ...

Jim Cramer's Real Money: Sane Investing in an Insane World

James J. Cramer

Simon & Schuster, 2005

Believe it or not, Cramer can make you a better investor.
Having read several investment books, this book is a much needed shot in the arm in that it opens the doors to the type of independent thinking that the mutual fund industry doesn't want individual investors to engage in. Cramer's book encourages readers to move beyond ...

7th Heaven (The Women's Murder Club)

Little, Brown and Company, 2008

Loved 5th, missed 6th, loved 7th
