1984 | 10/10 - | 1 review |
| |  Author: George Orwell Genre: Science Fiction/FantasyThis was an incredible book. Orwell wrote this story as a vision of the future and it is a frightening thrill that makes you think about the state of the world today. This was very intelligently written. You witness the rise and fall of an individuals mind. The end is quite depressing but written to perfection. Reader: MO BookWoRm Rated: 10/10 Review submitted on: February 26 2010

1st To Die | 7/10 - | 1 review |
| |  Author: James Patterson Genre: Mystery and SuspenseThis is the first book in the Women's Murder Club series. It is about a homicide detective Lindsay Boxer on the trail of a serial killer who is killing newlyweds. During the book she has to deal with many things: a life-threatening blood disease, a new partner, and a love interest. She enlists the aid of her friend Claire who is a Medical Examiner, a young reporter and an assistant DA. It was a good book. I will probably read the others in the series.

2012 Kin Bin Tin Nah | 8/10 - | 1 review |
| |  Author: John Arthur \\ Miller Genre: Action / Adventure2012 Kin Bin Tin Nah, never did remembering the name of this book cross my mind. That quickly changed two pages in. Psychics, people in trances turning blue, and that’s as much as I’ll say about that. I’ve been following the short stories of Mr. Miller for about nine months, finding them, well written, provocative, and enticing. They’re new to someone who’s not into reading much dark fiction. However, they’ve become must reads, so it was wonderful to have this delivered to my door.
It’s fast paced, well researched and developed; a good read.
The characters are appealing, at least, “the good guys”, and the antagonists are pure evil. Alvin was the most colorful and likable, making me laugh; he’s not your hero “type”. The back and forth between the lead character, Cal and his love interest Linda, adds just enough romance to take your mind off, “the end of the world” type scenes. There was literally little time to breathe, the action keeps you going. The only disappointment is the length; some of the characters are worth knowing better.
If you’re interested in Mayan culture, those facts are fascinating. It’s not what I expected, all gore, but it is what I’d hoped for; well written. When his next book comes out, I’ll be there to read it. This writer keeps getting better and better.
If you love dark fiction and even if you don’t, it’s worth the price of admission. I'm finding it hard to give a specific genre, it's dark fiction.
This was originally an e book which has just come out in print. Reader: Suethebookworm57 Rated: 8/10 Review submitted on: October 04 2009

28 Days Later | 8/10 - | 2 reviews |
| |  Author: Alex Garland Genre: Poetry, Plays & ScreenplaysThis book was wonderfully written and is fantastic for male teen readers who are into blood and gore. Reader: Alan Hannigan Rated: 9/10 Review submitted on: July 06 2010
This is a quick read that displays Alex Garland?s talent as an author, but doesn?t have the same punch as the movie.
If you liked the movie, then you will like the screenplay, but I would suggest seeing the movie before reading the screenplay. The actors add much dimension to the written word and the action plays out much better on screen than on paper. Reader: Allison Rated: 7/10 Review submitted on: August 09 2006

2nd Chance | 9/10 - | 1 review |
| |  Author: James Patterson Genre: Mystery and SuspenseOh My Gosh! This book was so good. It's the second of the Women's Murder Club series. Homicide Lt. Lindsey Boxer is on the case of some murders that appear to be racially motivated hate crimes. She gets her "club" together to solve the crime, Jill the asst. DA, Cindy the newspaper reporter and Claire the ME. The story is riveting and the excitement abounds. This book kept me entertained from start to finish. Great book - I definitely recommend it.

300 | 5/10 - | 1 review |
| |  Author: Frank Miller, Lynn Varley Genre: Historical FictionI just re-watched this movie last night, and it reiterated how much I enjoyed the movie more than the book.
300 is the story of 300 Spartan soldiers against thousands of Persian soldiers, trying to protect the freedom and democracy of the Greeks.
The story itself is quite interesting, but I found the way it was told in the book to be confusing and the visuals (it's a graphic novel) were dark and difficult to understand.
I'd watch the movie over reading this book. Reader: Allison Rated: 5/10 Review submitted on: February 25 2008

One of the teenagers is killed the other is left paralyzed. Lindsay finds herself in the center of a trial that could end her career. While awaiting trial and recovering physically and mentally, she stays at her sister's house in Half Moon Bay where there are a string of murders that could be tied to a cold case Lindsay worked on. Lindsay is on the case which make her a target for the killer. Riveting all the way through. Another good one from Patterson. I definitely recommend it.

7th Heaven | 6/10 - | 1 review |
| |  Author: James Patterson Genre: Mystery and SuspenseThis is one of the Women's Murder Club. I didn't like this one as much as previous ones. In this one, there's an arson case that Conklin and Boxer are working on and an old murder that Yuki prosecutes. Lindsay moves in with Joe but is still very attracted to Conklin. Claire has her baby and Yuki is being stalked. I didn't like this one as much as the previous books. It was just okay. Reader: Jackie Lo Rated: 6/10 Review submitted on: February 16 2009

84, Charing Cross Road | 8/10 - | 1 review |
| |  Author: Helene Hanff Genre: Biography and MemoirsI never would have thought that I would enjoy a book of letters so much. This book follows the 20 year correspondence between an American writer and a British antique book store and its employees.
What starts out as a request for a book, turns into wonderful friendships spaning the years. The people come to life as thier relationships grow. This is a quick and enjoyable read. Reader: Allison Rated: 8/10 Review submitted on: September 30 2006

A Bend in the Road | 7/10 - | 1 review |
| |  Author: Nicholas Sparks Genre: General FictionI thought this was pretty good classic Sparks. I enjoyed it, but found the plot a little predictable. That being said, because there were two narratives going on at once, and there was only a limited number of characters, Missy's killer wasn't terribly difficult to guess.
