You've Been Warned
James Patterson, Howard Roughan
Little, Brown and Company, 2007
Where Is the REAL James Patterson?
Why did James Patterson decide he needed to resort to such bizarre, out-there topics?? First the flying children, then the imaginary playmate, now this nightmare of a book. I loved his Women's Murder Club series, Sam's Letters to Jennifer, Suzanne's Diary For Nicholas, and of course,

Dexter in the Dark: A Novel
Jeff Lindsay
Doubleday, 2007
Not as good as the first two but still enjoyable.
As most have said, this wasn't quite as good as the first two Dexter novels. I didn't dislike it as much as many though. Most people's biggest problem was the supernatural aspect to it. This part didn't bother me too much since it wasn't specific to any belief system that I am aware of. I think ...

Blood Trail (Joe Pickett Novels)
C. J. Box
Putnam Adult, 2008
For anyone who likes mysteries
+ Best one yet
+ Best Idea for a Joe Picket Plot Yet!
It's a good year indeed when we are blessed with two books by C. J. Box. The stand-alone work BLUE HEAVEN was published early in 2008 and garnered a hint of the commercial success that Box has deserved since he first began setting pen to paper with OPEN SEASON. The newly released BLOOD TRAIL, his ...

Touchstone
Laurie R. King
Bantam, 2007
wow, you king readers are tough
+ Well-written but not her best
+ Solidly good storytelling, with a dollop of romance and history
ok, maybe this is not great and eternal literature, but it was a fun and exhilarhating ride. i mean, at this point you have given it the same score as dianna raybourn, which is ridiculous. i am a long time king fan and i think this is one of her best.

The Wheel of Darkness (Special Agent Pendergast)
Douglas Preston, Lincoln Child
Grand Central Publishing, 2007
`Fraid the boogie man might git 'cha?
+ They've done better
`Fraid the boogie man might git 'cha?
Then don't read this book.
It might open up Pandora's Box, bust the edges of your world as you know it and it just might wake you up.
There are more realities than we acknowledge. This book delves into other realms; pushes the edges and it sure made me ...

Blasphemy
Douglas Preston
Forge Books, 2008
If a book ever deserved 5 stars its this one!
Seriously I recommend you do whatever you can to get a hold of specifically the AUDIO BOOK version. The narrator was fantastic in the varous voices he created ranging from Navaho Indians, to a southern televangelist and even a Borne Agan Biker. His voice for Gregory North Hezalious was particularly ...
