Reacher at his best

1st to Die: A Novel (Thorndike Press Large Print Basic Series)
James Patterson, 2001
James Patterson 1st to Die
+ Ist to Die
+ Good Read
I love murder mysteries, When I first saw this series on television I had to read the books. The only problem I had is that linday has dark hair on t.v. and the books have her as a blonde. Putting that aside the story introduces all the characters, and they work well together and support each other ...

The Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown
Anchor, 2006
Elitist Criticism Aside, It's Genius
+ Dan Brown
+ Hard to put down.
Loathed by elitist literary critics, wannabe highbrows and religious conservatives, The Da Vinci Code is by any measure a work of genius. To dismiss it as pop drivel is to overlook the fact that countless writers are striving to produce catchy pulp fiction that will propel them to stardom and ...

The Princess Bride: S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure
William Goldman
Harcourt, 2007
Real Fantasy
+ Great story, questionable reading.
+ True Love and High Adventure Indeed!
I was afraid to read this book and avoided it for many years. I so dearly love the movie and I just didn't want to be disappointed either way. If the book was better, as is usually the case, then my movie experience would be tarnished. If the movie was better then I'd be wasting my time with the ...

Another Winner
+ Balanced
James Patterson has done it again. This sequel is fast paced easy to read and I could not put the book down. I love the Women's Murder Club and the characters to me are believable.
