The Lemur: A Novel
Benjamin Black

Picador, 2008

Originally serialized novella lacks depth

Originally serialized in The New York Times Magazine, this novella doesn't meet the standards of Black's Quirke novels. Irish journalist John Glass has given up reporting on foreign wars and accepted a commission from his wealthy and powerful American father-in-law, "Big Bill," to write the old ...
  
  











  



  
Nothing to Lose (Jack Reacher Novels)
Lee Child

Delacorte Press, 2008

Reacher Book - Nothing to Lose

+ I read it, and I liked it

This book wasn't quite as good as most of them. I think the political leanings of Lee Child got in the way of Jack Reachers character. I'll keep reading but hope Child gets back to the Reacher of previous books.

One Good Turn: A Novel
Kate Atkinson

Back Bay Books, 2007

"Boxes within boxes, dolls within dolls, worlds within worlds..."

+ A perfect piece of literature!

In the second of her Jackson Brodie series (after Case Histories: A Novel and before When Will There Be Good News?: A Novel), Kate Atkinson creates a series of bizarre characters, all involved with murder--either planning it, committing it, or trying to avoid it. Many seemingly unrelated ...

Okay so I'm a dog lover but Koontz writes the best atmospheric suspense hands down and captures the persona of golden retrievers, making them into the heroes of the story. Amy's adventure is highlighted by the marvelous scenes with her pack of rescued goldens. And Niki is reminiscent of Einstein ...

Grotesque (Vintage International)
Natsuo Kirino

Vintage, 2008

Spoiled by last section

A long book, written in several autobiographical sections narrating the action from contradictory points of view. It's an innovative and engaging structure. For me, this novel had three distinct parts. (1) commentary on Japanese treatment of women as students and professionals, with a focus ...
