Thorough, refreshing take on history

On Writing
Stephen King
Pocket

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 ...
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
Judi Barrett
Aladdin
, 1982
A book I read as a child and now my children adore!
As a young girl I read this book over and over, picturing myself as a citizen of Chew-and-Swallow, a town where it rains tomato soup and hot dogs, pancakes and eggs over easy, orange juice and spaghetti with meatballs. I loved the detailed illustrations and the humor. ...
The Host: A Novel
Stephenie Meyer
Little, Brown and Company
, 2008
Much different from her Twilight series, still wonderful
I had a difficult time putting this one down. It was strange to relate to the parasite, Wanda, that took over a human body, but how can you despise or be disgusted over a creature that was sooo good and sweet. One who abhord violence of any kind. And yet, the reader ...

Motley Crue dives into their dark and twisted souls to give the reader a warning about Sex Drugs and Rock N Roll
At least the title to this review sounds good. LOL Considering the book is over 400 pages long, I was surprised that I finished it in a day. It is a very interesting novel although sometimes NOT well written, but then again some of Crue's songs were NOT well ...

I just couldn't put it down
Mr. Martin has the ability to touch the reader's heart in a way that is rare. I found myslf laughing and crying at the same time. He explores the depth of love and challenges us to love at a deeper level. I only pray that I could love the way Doss did. I didn't ...

Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Star Wars)
Karen Traviss
Del Rey
, 2008
Clone Wars delivers an action-packed Anakin story
"The Clone Wars" tells a story about a day in the life of Anakin. This is no rehash of the Cartoon Network's "Animated Clone Wars." Even compared to episodes II & III, many of the prominently featured characters play a much smaller role. This is okay because this story ...

Christopher L. Bennett
Star Trek
, 2008
The best of the TNG relaunch so far!!!
Ok so lot of other reviews give this book bad to only ok and i can see why. Its the borg again but this is by far the best TNG Relaunch yet mainly because Mr. Bennett goes into more detail than the crisis of the (week)or month but we get a little about the personal ...
The Lions of Lucerne
Brad Thor
Pocket Star
, 2002
Excellent Thriller
I really enjoyed this book. I hesitate reading a lot of popular fiction because it gets rather obscene. A few of the bad guys swear in this, but, overall, not so bad. The story is really interesting. It weaves its way through so many paths that it is difficult to ...
