Shadow Prey
John Sandford
Berkley, 2006
Underrated entry in a great series
+ Shadow Prey
+ Shadow Prey
Joh Sandford himself has said that Shadow Prey is one of the least popular books in the series, but it's one of my favorites. Its premise is similar to that of Sudden Prey in that you have a group of villains whose motives are at least understandable, if not laudable, and that ambiguity nicely ...

The Hanged Man's Song (Kidd)
John Sandford
Berkley, 2004
Another Kidd Novel!!
+ Probably the Best of the Kidd Series!!!
+ A good book
Even though it may be the last Kidd Novel for John Sanford, it did make me pick up all the others and read them once again. with this story it doesn't paint much of the hero/criminal of Kidd. you do get the idea that he's a righteous criminal with an overwhelming conscience to make him do good. and ...

The Fool's Run (Kidd)
John Sandford
Berkley, 1996
a great beginning to the Kidd series
+ KIDD BOOKS

The Devil's Code (Kidd)
John Sandford
Berkley, 2001
I don't usually like books, but
+ Kidd novel is a fun adventure
+ The Devil's Code
It started when I was housitting at my buddy's condo and the power went out during the superbowl. WTF? I had nothing to do and all I could find was one flashlight. On his coffee table I saw a copy of Devil's Code and once I picked it up I could not put it down. This book is far from what you ...

Prey
Michael Crichton
Avon, 2003
A bit of smartly done, high-tech adventure
+ Writing For Intelligent Readers
Michael Crichton is re-visiting some old stomping grounds in this one. The 1970s sci-fi movie classic Westworld was written and directed by Crichton and it features technology run amok and set loose on a killing spree. Jurassic Park features the dangers of tampering with the gene pool with an ...

Night Prey
John Sandford
Berkley, 1995
One of the Best of the Prey Series...
+ Good read!
+ Most Disturbing Prey Yet

The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time
Douglas Adams
Harmony, 2002
A look into life in his galaxy
+ If you loved this Douglas Adams you are gonna love this !
+ A river of tears awaits any real Douglas Adams fan
For even a part time Adams fan, this book is golden. Assembled after his death, this book compiles many years or writings and musings, and throws them in with some unfinished works Adams left when he left this galaxy of ours. The book does take some getting used to, as many of the parts are ...
