Devil May Care (James Bond)
Sebastian Faulks
Doubleday, 2008
Close, but no cigar
Faulks has the time frame down well - the smoking, the attitudes towards sex, the weapons, etc., but he lacks the finesse of Fleming.
He is dead on with his decription of Tehran - from the mountains to the "jubs" - but, somehow the plot never really seems to excite the reader the way the old ...

Lover Enshrined (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 6)
J.R. Ward
Signet, 2008
One of the top three of the series

+ Interesting Book But......Please stop with the ....
I don't understand why so many people were disappointed with this amazing story.

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!
