Change of Heart: A Novel
Jodi Picoult

Atria, 2008

TWO THUMBS UP!!

+ Good, but not her best
+ From an Agnostic's Perspective

My review is short and sweet. A must read. If this book does not touch you and does not get you thinking, I advise you to check your pulse to make sure you're alive. TWO THUMBS UP!!! A very moving novel.

Step on a Crack
James Patterson, Michael Ledwidge

Little, Brown and Company, 2007

Loved it!

+ Not His Best ; However, Far From His Worst !

I did not read the book, but instead listened to the audio book version. I must say I loved it. The plot may be a little weak, but I fell hard for Mike Bennetts character. I hope there will be more books in the works with him as the lead. He is my kind of hero. Write on, Petra Lozano ...

Good Quality

I saw the series first and then decided to buy the book. The story showed in the series is not exactly the same than the original one in the book, which is very good, otherwise it wouldn't be any surprise. Regarding the book itself, the quality is what I expected, good, and the shipping was ...

Bad Luck and Trouble (Jack Reacher)
Lee Child

Delacorte Press, 2007

A Great Read!

+ The best Reacher yet
+ Lee Child is Superman!

Once again, Lee Child has produced an excellent Jack Reacher novel. I couldn't put it down, and I couldn't resist writing a few lines to give it the five stars it deserves. If you like thrillers with an edgy, intelligent, and rugged lead character, then Reacher is your man. Enjoy!
