David Wroblewski

Possibly the best book I've ever read...
I recently took this book on vacation with me after hearing it was an Oprah's pick. I don't get to read a lot but when I do, I expect the book to be excellent. This one exceeded my expectations. I absolutely devoured this book in just a few days, and was begging for ...

Get Over It

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)

Stephenie Meyer

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2006

From A Man Who Has Read 'Twilight'
For many reasons I banned reading this book. Working in retail with teenie girls barraging the bookstands demanding for the next Stephanie Meyer book was just annoying and made me believe these books were meant for the intelligently-deficient. A friend online said I ...

Brisingr (Inheritance, Book 3)

Christopher Paolini

Knopf Books for Young Readers, 2008

MUCH better than 'Eldest', MUCH more like 'Eragon'!!!
'Brisingr" is MUCH better written than 'Eldest'. Although I still feel that 'Eldest' was a good read, I felt 'Eldest' was written more by the editors, than by Paolini, so therefore, less of Paolini's "soul" came through. I was almost tempted to not buy 'Brisingr', ...

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Stieg Larsson

Knopf, 2008

Excellent
While it took close to one hundred pages to get into this book, I am so very glad that I stuck with it. Yes, translations can be clunky, yes, the cast of characters was huge, yes, it was long. It was worth every one of those minor faults and more. It took all those ...
