The Killing Dance (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Book 6)
Laurell K. Hamilton
Jove, 2002
Great story in a great series
This one went a different way for me than the last few have, which I think was the author's intention. In the last few books, the best part has been the character development and the memorably written scenes -- usually of gore and horror. This one had both, but the ...

Batman: The Killing Joke
Alan Moore, Brian Bolland
DC Comics, 2008
It's a killer joke!
This is one of the most intriguing origins that have been created for the Clown Prince of Crime. This, along with the Jack Napier origin, is definitely a strong one. The artwork is nicely done, and the dialogue is smart and witty. The dark nature of this graphic novel ...

Killing Sacred Cows: Overcoming the Financial Myths That Are Destroying Your Prosperity
Garrett B. Gunderson
Greenleaf Book Group LLC, 2008
Killing Sacred Cows is New, Refreshing, and Counter Intuitive
I can summarize the reasons to buy this book:
(1) Financial Institutions, the media, family, friends, and financial advisors hype myths for their own benefit.
(2) You can't recognize a myth (a Sacred Cow) when you are in it until it's too late.
(3) The book covers ...

Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets
David Simon
Holt Paperbacks, 2006
Well written and very accessible, highly recommended
I read this book after watching - several times over - David Simon's most recent work, The Wire. I have always been interested in detectives and was drawn by this book because it is non-fiction. As well as being a highly enjoyable read, I would say there were three ...

I liked the book. I aspired to be come a marine back in the early 80's after finishing college. I talked with some former viet-nam vets who convinced me that graduate school was a better option. I followed their advice based on the stories they told me...this book is a ...

Killing Floor (Jack Reacher)
Lee Child
Jove, 2006
Jack Reacher Is A Believable Super Hero
This is my second Jack Reacher read. I think the author does a great job creating page turning excitement. Even though many of Reacher's exploits may seem over the top. They are achieved in a plausible way. Reacher's brother was a top level treasury department boss ...

Killing Fear (Prison Break, Book 1)
Allison Brennan
Ballantine Books, 2008
One that will keep you up at night, can't put it down
I have read several books by her and never been disappointed. This book has a good plot, the characters are real, and as usual the author keeps you on the edge of your seat and has a suprise twist at the end. In my opinion, I think it's the best of hers so far.

Killing Rommel: A Novel
Steven Pressfield
Doubleday, 2008
A truly extraordinary piece of military historical writing
I'm an admirer of the author's five previous books dealing with war and military life in the ancient world -- but that's where my own academic background is and I understand what's happening perhaps better than most readers. I wasn't sure about this one, though, which ...
