The Price of Paradise (Doctor Who)
Colin Brake
Random House UK, 2008
Kind of a classic...
The story is a mystery set on an alien planet. There is action, adventure, monsters, but not a lot of gore or violence. The Tenth Doctor is at his best when trying to solve the mystery, pulling all the clues together in one big pile and working on them till he gets ...

Sinner: A Paradise Novel (The Books of History Chronicles)
Ted Dekker
Thomas Nelson, 2008
A likely presentation of what persecution will be like
There's no doubt that Christianity is getting persecuted for simply stating what all they believe in, but Dekker has pushed the limit in this new book, presenting a future not too far from now where proclaiming Christ would be considered "hateful" and how one man is ...

Stranger in Paradise (Jesse Stone Novels)
Robert B. Parker
Putnam Adult, 2008
Love Jesse...Hate Jenn
I love this Jesse Sone novel. If you like Jesse you will like this book. It is more of the "same".
That being said...
I am sick of Jenn. Enough of her already! Get over her!
Enough drinking for Jesse. That is getting old.
I enjoy reading all of the Jesse Stone ...

Showdown (Paradise Series, Book 1) (The Books of History Chronicles)
Ted Dekker
Thomas Nelson, 2007
There's More Than Good Story in Showdown
Showdown. You'll come to know it better as Project Showdown, as Ted Dekker kicks off this series with a premise big enough to reach into the Circle Trilogy and a host of his other works.
Showdown shines in that the story is great AND the allegory is even better. By ...

Strangers In Paradise Pocket Book 1 (Strangers in Paradise (Graphic Novels)) (Bk. 1)
Terry Moore
Abstract Studio, 2004
The start of something great
If you try to read this series in the individual comic issues, you won't get nearly half of what you get in these pocket book series. With individual issues, you have to look for the correct volume as well as issue numbers. Here, the story is perfectly laid out. We get ...

Paradise of the Blind: A Novel
Duong Thu Huong, Nina McPherson
Harper Perennial, 2002
An Uncomprising Critique of "Revolutionary" Vietnam
A short response to any book by Duong Thu Huong is a good deal like a short response to the Bible--it will be lacking. This is especially the case with Huong's 1988 work Paradise of the Blind, the story of a young Hanoi woman, Hang, forced to give up her university ...

Robert B. Parker
G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1998
Flamingo Blood Rains Thin in Paradise
TROUBLE IN PARADISE, # 2 in Parker's Jesse Stone series, is a quietly seething thriller with explosives to boom. In this type of deep plot action, here's how one chapter should end and the next one begin:
Chapter ending:

Strangers In Paradise Pocket Book 6 (Strangers in Paradise (Graphic Novels)) (Bk. 6)

Satisfying end to a really good graphic novel!
I've been reading Strangers in Paradise in pocket book form. (These are compilations of material that originally appeared in single issue comic book format.) This book is the last in the series, as the story comes to a close.
At its heart, Strangers in Paradise is a ...

Great Crime/Suspense Novel!
If you're looking for a crime/suspense novel to sink your teeth into, search no more! This book was suggested to me by a friend and I am SO glad that I gave it a shot. Wow, what a great novel! I was turning the pages late into the night to find out what was going to ...

Strangers In Paradise Pocket Book 5 (Strangers in Paradise (Graphic Novels)) (Bk. 5)
Terry Moore
Abstract Studio, 2005
SIP is great!
I can't say I'd consider myself a hardcore SIP fan since I don't buy every color issue that comes out, but I do own all 5 pocket books. I usually finish them in a couple hours because they're just that good.
To those who have never read SIP, I highly recommend ...

Dead Paradise (Stone Barrington Novels)
Stuart Woods
NAL Trade, 2006
Slick packaging
Be careful when buying this book. It is really a repackaging of two of his earlier best sellers in one cover. The title is so similar that it appears to be a new offering but it is really LA Dead and Cold Paradise in one cover. I was fooled. I'm not very happy by ...
