Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Novels)
Lee Child
Delacorte Press, 2008
The least-thrilling Jack Reacher novel so far . . . fails to meet high standards
Lee Child's creation, Jack Reacher, has earned his legions of fans the hard way - through kicking butt and taking names. He's a surprising combination of loner, warrior, and detective and gifted with a surprising talent for finding trouble.
Thanks to Child's twisted imagination, Reacher has met ...

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 ...

Odd Hours
Dean Koontz
Bantam, 2008
Absolutely EXQUISITE!
+ Another Great One
I cannot begin to say how long I have waited for this FOURTH book (having read the others!) and it was WELL WORTH THE WAIT!
The writing flows, and is darn near poetic! Picturesque and wonderful as a story continues and unfolds pages after page.
I read it in 4 days. As usual Koontz never ...

The Pillars of the Earth
Ken Follett
NAL Trade, 2002
Wow, Oprah got this right, it's worth your time and that is saying something.
+ Great tale, sweeping history but over-long
+ Fascinating but flawed
I picked this up at the library and read the first page out loud to my hubby and kids. I thought it was soooooo impressive that I was sure I'd love it. If you read the first page (you can do this online) and you love it, I promise, it's worth your time. If you don't love the first page, you may ...
