The Devil Wears Prada: A Novel
Lauren Weisberger
Doubleday, 2003
Good book, maybe slightly over-blown
+ Uneven
This is a good book, but what fascinates me most is that it has the most even distribution of reviews on any book I've seen on Amazon. 1, star, 2 star, etc. all get about the same votes. Take a look. You don't see it so even like that very often.
This is a book that is really not for ...

Irish Girls Are Back in Town
Cecelia Ahern, Patricia Scanlan, ...
Downtown Press, 2005
solid but darker than the previous romps
The fourth edition of this annual anthology that raises money for charity is surprisingly different in tone than the previous "Girls in Town" collections as these contributions are much darker than the previous Irish, American and Scottish romps. The tales are for the most part well written though ...

PS, I Love You
Cecelia Ahern
HarperCollins Publishers Ltd, 2007
Maybe a different take on the book
I have read the book and have never seen the movie. I don't want to because the book holds a pretty special place in my heart and I fear the movie will ruin it. This book hit home from the moment I started for an entirely different reason then I have seen in the other reviews. My fiance is in ...

Killer Heels (Molly Forrester Novels)
Sheryl J. Anderson
St. Martin's Paperbacks, 2005
Great debut novel
+ Too much fun to fret over flaws
+ Killer Debut
This was a fun read. The story was interesting and all the characters were likable. I thought the way the scenes between Molly and the detective were written were awesome. You can feel the chemistry between them jump off the page. It started slow but picked up the pace soon thereafter. I will ...

The Second Assistant: A Tale from the Bottom of the Hollywood Ladder
Clare Naylor, Mimi Hare
Viking Adult, 2004
A book for the beach bag!
If you are looking for fun, entertaining chick-lit, then this is definitely the book for you. I liked this book and the ending much more than the Nanny Diaries, which is a good comparison. The main character Elizabeth Miller was a bit one dimensional, but the Hollywood characters she meets along ...

Trading Up
Candace Bushnell
Hyperion, 2003
Fun "fantasy" reading!
I loved it. I went in with no expectations and had a great time. I love to live the lives of other people through books, and what a life Janie has!! This is a fast paced roller coaster ride, and I love the allusions to all of the fashion brands. I also love all of the scandal! This is a ...

Blood Brothers (Sign of Seven Trilogy, Book 1)

Jove, 2007
Horror, Mystery, Romance, Humor!!!
+ Really Liked It
+ Blood Brothers
This book as it all, there are those moments when you heart stops because you think one of the main characters is in danger or where you are trying to figure out the mystery behind the Pagan Stone yourself or for them really. Then the romance in this book is so touching and care free that you are ...
