Loved this book
This is truly a book that is difficult to put down. I was constantly pulled back in by the twists and turns. I hope to see these characters again and again and to someday learn the answers to my questions.

Duma Key: A Novel
Stephen King
Scribner, 2008
Truly mind blowing
+ Best of the recent Stephen King novels
I am a huge fan of Stephen King. Some of his stories truly scare me. A couple of months ago I picked up Duma Key. This book is so great. I'm an author myself and I learn so much from Stephen King every time I pick up one his books.
In Duma Key Edgar Freemantle encounters a terrible construction ...

O.K., I absolutely LOVED the first three books in the Odd Thomas Series & I was so excited to discover there was a fourth...however, before I decided to actually purchase this book, I noticed the review section and noticed A LOT of poor reviews.

Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Novels)
Lee Child
Delacorte Press, 2008
Best Reacher Book Yet
+ LOVED this book...
This is Child's best Reacher book. Although the pace is a little slower than many of the other books in the Reacher series, the slower pace, combined with the intriguing mysteries to be solved, make it very worthwhile. I highly recommend it!

Spectacular Book from Start to Finish
+ a fun dark ride
+ Brilliant
This is easily the best book I've read this year, and I read thrillers, horror, classics, biographies, and just about anything else that grabs my interest. Cold Streak starts off with a bang and keeps a fast pace all the way to the last line. It's very well written with lots of vivid descriptions ...

Killing Floor (Jack Reacher)
Lee Child
Jove, 2006
Reacher at his best
+ An over-the-top mystery
+ Great introduction of Jack Reacher.
Lee Child`s creation is brilliant for a series of books, the transient Jack Reacher finds himself in tiny Margrave, Georgia, and is almost immediately arrested, if briefly, as a murder suspect. Imagine his surprise when he discovers that one of the victims is his brother, a brilliant U.S. Treasury ...
