Jill the Reckless (The Collector's Wodehouse)
P. G. Wodehouse
Overlook Hardcover, 2005
Wodehouse and New York
+ an amusing Wodehouse with a good look at 1930s Broadway
For Wodehouse fans, one of the less well-known novels, which they would enjoy reading anyway... a lot of the usual Wodehouse humour based on how people think and react to situations. There are other Wodehouse novels where the charm of New York comes across. This one is as good as any of them in ...

Trial Run
Dick Francis
Berkley, 2004
Interesting relic of the cold war
+ One of the most unassuming fiction heroes that I've found.
I do like Dick Francis novels, and I do admit, as many other reviewers have said, that there is a certain predictability to the plots of many of them. What I find myself looking for, in mancy cases, is the philosophy beyond the plot. In this case, the plot is about an attempt to sabotage the ...

A semi-deserted family estate in the middle of a region rich in smuggler lore, that also boasts of having it's own fair share of ghosts and secret passages, stories of missing treasure, and that is currently home to a family of poor relations -- these are just some of the ingredients that Carola ...

Jack really does a great job grabbing your attention. He makes you want to know what's going to happen next. Part of his success is character development. You believe in these characters.

Rhett Butler's People
Donald McCaig
St. Martin's Press, 2007
The BEST novel I've read in 25 years!
+ An Amazing Read!
McCaig is a virtuoso of the written word. I have no idea how any true fan of the original GWTW can give it less than 5 stars. McCaig has taken our favorite scoundrel, lover and hero and made him BETTER! He's still all that he ever was, but you are allowed to see the thoughts behind the action. ...

Border Princes (Torchwood)
Dan Abnett
Random House UK, 2007
A fun read with a cool twist!
+ Misdirection at its finest...
I might be partial to the Torchwood books because I really enjoy the Show, but I really enjoyed this book. At times the story seemed to be all over the place, but I felt that was needed to better explain the twist of the story and better demonstrate what Torchwood does and experiences. I will also ...
