Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Novels)
Lee Child
Delacorte Press, 2008
I read it, and I liked it
I am surprised at the number of negative reviews on the 12th Jack Reacher novel by Lee Child. I enjoyed the book and as most Reacher fans look forward to the next in the series.

Netherland: A Novel
Joseph O'Neill
Pantheon, 2008
A document of our time
+ Authentic expat experience
When this book was published in the spring of 2008, it received wonderful reviews, most notably in May on the front page of the New York Times Sunday Book Review Magazine. The usually difficult and persnickety Michiko Kakutani also gave it high marks in another review in the Times' daily edition. ...

Odd Hours
Dean Koontz
Bantam, 2008
Another Dean Koontz Oddity
+ Can not go wrong with Koontz...
+ Another Great One
As usual Dean does it again with Odd. As with all Dean Koontz stories you're captured right from the first page. Because it's an Odd series you already know you are hooked even before you opened the book. So for all of us Dean and Odd fans just sit back and read yourself into another great book. ...

Love the One You're With
Emily Giffin
St. Martin's Press, 2008
4.5 stars
+ light fun
+ Her best book...
I docked this book a half-star because I didn't like how they used a pseudonym for Bono (Drake is obviously supposed to be Bono). I feel like if you're going to use a real-life star as a model, might as well use the real person!
That said, it is a minor quibble in an otherwise highly ...

Wicked Pleasure (Bound Hearts)
Lora Leigh
St. Martin's Griffin, 2008
Yes! Yes! Yes! YES!!!!
+ Very entertaining!
I'm not always in the mood for a graphic novel... but Lord bless a graphic novel that can put you in the mood!!
I have a general tendency to skip over sex scenes in romance-type novel due to their "same-old, same-old" kind of scene... you know, "throbbing member" and "delicate flower." Boring ...

Fun read for adults and children
+ Funny story
This book was a very fun read for both adults and children. The story is a little silly, but definitely entertaining. Very predictable.

Fearless Fourteen (Stephanie Plum, No. 14)
Janet Evanovich
St. Martin's Press, 2008
LOVE PLUM-
+ Fearless Fourteen
This series is my absolute favorite "relax and read". Such great characters and always makes me laugh- perhaps after 14 there are just so many high expectations that fans get overly critical. Every person I recommend this just adores Stephanie Plum. Keep em coming Evanovich- but hey can you ...
