Sail
James Patterson, Howard Roughan
Little, Brown and Company, 2008
The Patterson name must be a stamp.
James Patterson has written some memorable thrillers but Sail seems to be written by a ghost writer who is new (or tired) of the genre and pushed to this book on the masses using the Patterson label. Don't get me wrong, this is a quick and easy read, but the characters never seem to grasp the ...

The Spies of Warsaw: A Novel
Alan Furst
Random House, 2008
Furst is First
+ A Great Read
Furst is the best writer of thrillers in the business and The Spies of Warsaw is first-rate Furst. All of his novels are historically accurate, not only in the major events that actually occurred but in the ambiance of the setting and the psychological outlook of his fictional characters.

Odd Hours (Odd Thomas, Book 4)
Dean Koontz
Brilliance Audio, 2008
Another Dean Koontz Oddity
+ 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. ...

Devil May Care
Sebastian Faulks
Doubleday, 2008
Bond...Stirred Not Shaken
+ Bond. James Bond.
Devil May Care was a good read all things considered. It could never be confused with a "real" Ian Fleming book, but I enjoyed it. I say "stirred not shaken" because Faulks tries to stick to Fleming's style, but falls short (there's an absurd tennis match for example). I am glad I found the book at ...

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.

Plague Ship (Oregon Files)
Clive Cussler
Putnam Adult, 2008
One of Cussler's best novels
+ Another nice one
+ Plague ship
I have read many of Clive Cussler's novels, and I consider this to be one of his best. Since other reviewers have discussed the plot, I will comment on other aspects of the story.
The characters or larger than life, but not ridiculously so. The same is true of the Chairman's ship. What I liked ...

The Shack
William P. Young
Windblown Media, 2008
Transforming story
+ One of the Best Books I've Ever Read!
+ The Shack is very Powerful. It's not the scripture but an incredible conversation with God
+ So this is NOT "THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO WILLIE"
+ The Shack

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 ...
