Most people have no idea who she is, our bookstore doesn't even carry her books most of the time, but I think she's utterly brilliant, and she deserves to be better ...             Rashi Maurice Liber Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2006 Buy the Dybbuk Press Version Ok I have published Rashi and Merely Mary Ann at the same time, because I'll be publishing Michael Boatman's horror anthology and The Big Bow Mystery later this year and I want to devote as much time as possible to promotion of those books. In writing a review, I know that I have essentially ...             Simple Genius David Baldacci Warner Books, 2007 Baldacci can do better. I loved the "King and Maxwell" series Baldacci has been writing, but I think this book is probably the weakest in the trilogy. The story developed for this book had great potential, but the characters in it were underdeveloped and uninspiring, and the details of the story were often unclear. ...             Free Fall Robert Crais Crimeline, 1994 My Favorite of the Elvis Cole Novels So Far + Robert Crais' "Free Fall" + Another winner for Robert Crais FREE FALL is the fourth entry in Robert Crais's "Elvis Cole" series about a private eye in Los Angeles. I'm currently reading this series in order, and this novel is the best of the four I've read. I truly admire Crais's sharp prose style, which is remarkably clever and funny. All of his books ...             The Photographer's Eye John Szarkowski The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2007 A good overview of B&W photography I like collections of photos by many different artists, and this book has a good number of diverse pre-1970 photos to browse. There is a minimum of text and that is fine with me. The book's main contribution is that it suggests a means of systematizing photography, by frame, subject, time, details ...             The Inheritance of Loss Kiran Desai Grove Press, 2006 Life Is That Which Drifts Away + A perfectly written blend of fact and fiction One of the most beautifully authentic books I've ever read, Desai's THE INHERITANCE OF LOSS is also one of the grimmest. It reminds me very much of a luscious nightmare, one which you awake from remembering not stories or events, but a strange, unshakable tone or hue. You couldn't say, upon ...             BADASS HORROR Gerard Brennan, Garry Kilworth, ... Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2006 Delicious Horror + Awesome!!! + Badass Horror + Another solid anthology from Dybbuk Press             Trampoline: An Anthology Small Beer Press, 2003 SLIPSTREAM AT ITS MOST COMPELLING + Boing! Boing! Trampoline is a fascinating and rewarding book. Among the twenty stories are a dozen that I found to be first rate. Another reader might disagree on the ranking of individual stories but not, I think, on the remarkable overall quality. A nice mixture of fine work by veterans (Carol Emshwiller, ...             Friedlander Peter Galassi The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 2005 Framing the world through the viewfinder + Superb monograph + THIS IS A STUNNING BOOK + a major figure + top printing, comprehensive big bad boy             Teddy Bear Cannibal Massacre Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2005 I edited it. + A BIZARRE BUT THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE ANTHOLOGY + Stories of the strange and unusual + No cannibalism, but lots of great stories + An Admirable Effort from the New Master of the Grotesque             Invisible Prey (Lucas Davenport Mysteries) John Sandford Putnam Adult, 2007 Creepy couple + Very very good A demented married couple is going around the upper midwest in order to murder old people for their antiques. This twist on what constitutes the "usual" serial killer in mystery novels, made this book stand out, for more reasons than just the excellent writing. Davenport has quickly become ...             The Road Cormac McCarthy Knopf, 2006 5 stars versus ANYTHING (except maybe the Bible) This is a literary work of art by one of the greatest living authors. The subject matter can be dark, but for those giving it anything less than 5 stars... I guess those folks really need to do some homework. Why am I reviewing it? This book is the single GREATEST Father's Day gift for a man ...             The Good Husband of Zebra Drive (No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency 8) Alexander Mccall Smith Pantheon, 2007 The series + Coincidence? + The Good Husband of Zebra Drive + great service, great books             Merely Mary Ann Israel Zangwill Dybbuk Press, LLC, 2006 Why I published this book This is a Dybbuk Press book and I published it, so obviously this isn't an unbiased review. But what review ever is? Anyhow, this is a Victorian novella by Israel Zangwill more known for his zionist activities than his literary output these days. His most famous books are Children of the Ghetto ...          products you might be interested in        toavi.com    web we recommend 5 stars versus ANYTHING (except maybe the Bible) randomly chosen DVD: Stolen Kisses
