On Writing
Stephen King
Pocket, 2002
An excellent book on how to write narrative fiction
With nearly 600 reviews of this book there is very little need for any new reviews. I mainly want to record my five-star vote for the excellence of this book. I have to confess that I'm not a huge fan of Stephen King. I read very little horror fiction and as a ...

Never Romance a Rake
Liz Carlyle
Pocket, 2008
Great Rake Great Romance
The story line is already described elsewhere in reviews. I did find it credible, unlike a couple of other reviewers. The author has already developed the character of our Rake, Kieran in other stories, but does a thorough job of reintroducing us to him and giving us ...

Stalin's Ghost: An Arkady Renko Novel
Martin Cruz Smith
Pocket, 2008
Arkady Is Back!
And so is Martin Cruz Smith! A common criticism of his previous novel "Wolves Eat Dogs" was that it was as much a travelogue of the Chernobyl area as it was a mystery novel. There was some truth in this. "Wolves Eat Dogs" was a bit slow, and, when it came down to ...

Kresley Cole
Pocket Star, 2006
The book that started it all!
Ahhh, this book is what started my current obsession with PNR novels. I was bored at work and so I looked up new things to read on Amazon. Read the chapter 1 teaser and was hooked.

Angels & Demons
Dan Brown
Pocket, 2006
Excellent, Plot-twisting Thriller
An incredibly entertaining read. Thought provoking, fast-paced action. I had read The Davinci Code first, and was not sure that it would be as good as that book, but it definitely surpassed my expectations. I think this was even more enjoyable than The Davinci Code. ...
