From a Distance (Timber Ridge Reflections, Book 1)
Bethany House Publishers, 2008
Photography Fanatic loved it!
I loved this book. I am an avid amateur photographer and loved the way Tamera worked in the details about photography in its earlier years. The characters were rich with well thought out back stories. Even though we pick up in the middle of the characters lives, by ...

Mockingjay (The Final Book of The Hunger Games)
Scholastic Press, 2010
Amazing
Every so often, a book comes along that changes you. The Hunger Games, with this book as its conclusion, did just that. I know I'll spend weeks thinking about it and sorting through all of the questions and emotions "Mockingjay" stirred up. Yes, there are twists and ...

The Girl Who Played with Fire
Vintage, 2009
Satisfying reading.
All three books in this series make exceptionally fine reading. It is a unique work in that the main character, Lisbeth Salander, upon which the book(s)is written, is unique: a brilliant/genius young woman who is a seriously flawed person. She is one who gets into ...

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Vintage, 2008
The Girl With the Dragon Tatoo
I almost gave up on the book because of the excess of characters that I could not remember. But about half way through, the story finally grab me. I liked the main characters. I am somewhat disturbed by the author writing so many gruesome happenings in the book and ...

A Little Death In Dixie
Bell Bridge Books, 2010
A Little Death in Dixie
A LITTLE DEATH IN DIXIE has the authentic feel of a "who done it?" written by a homicide detective. It's right on, and full of passionate, colorful characters. I loved it, and hope Ms. Turner pens another mystery for Detective Able to solve.

Treasure Island
Public Domain Books, 2006
[insert pirate joke here]
Wonderful. This book is a must read. This was the first classic I downloaded (for free nonetheless) for my Kindle and could not be more impressed with the quality of the novel. I expected a sort of lame adventure-Disney pirate hybrid but instead found myself looking ...

Hour of the Hunter: With Bonus Material: A Novel of Suspense
Harper Collins, Inc., 2010
unique J. A. Jance book
Hour of the Hunter was a very unusual book--very different from any other J. A. Jance book I've read. It took me a while to get into it; all the flashbacks for virtually all of the main characters plus the Indian lore made it very hard to follow at first. I liked that ...

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
Knopf, 2010
Worth The Wait. Better than First Book of this Triology
I could not put this book down. In fact I was sorry to finish it. This second book of the Trilogy kept me in so much suspense. I have not enjoyed a literary journey such as this in many years. I am looking forward to the final installment.

John Hood

Hard to believe it took me this long to get with Carl Hiaasen. Granted, the cat's busy--I mean, most of us don't write a dozen bestsellers and a weekly column. ...

Billy Boyle: A World War II Mystery
Soho Press, 2006
Like history mysteries? Read this novel!
This would have been worth purchasing. As it is, if you like historical mystery novels, you definitely need to give Lt. Boyle a try. I'm more into SF/F, but for free I thought this would be worth my time to check it out. And it most certainly was. Lt. Boyle is a flawed ...

Dracula

Should have read years ago!
As a bibliophile I should have read this a looooong time ago! As it was a free book I downloaded it for Kindle. Once I started I couldn't put it down! Good stuff!

Gulliver's Travels
Public Domain Books, 1997
Not what I remembered.
All I remembered about Gulliver's Travels was the Golden Book or other children's versions of the story that I read when I was still a wee young thing. The real story is much more thought provoking, and the style is quite interesting. Swift writes about his travels ...

The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
Public Domain Books, 1994
Suggested to all young men to enter the world
I came across this book without prior intent to find it. Having read it, I believe it beneficial to recommend any young man at the end of his schooling, about to embark on life in the "real world," To read this publication.
