Page turner....
Just another great book by Jodi Picoult. Not just another boring romance novel...her books cover subjects no one else does.

How long have I been asleep?
On the cover page the following sentence caught my eye: "Written nearly one hundred years ago, THE AWAKENING is the compelling story of an extraordinary modern woman struggling against the constraints of marriage and motherhood, and slowly discovering the power of her ...

Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, Book 1)
Jeaniene Frost
Avon, 2007
Cat n Bones
I never watched Buffy or charmed or any of those shows on TV so I wasn't too concerned after reading the bad reviews.
I enjoyed Cat and Bones characters very much. I laughed myself to tears and found the characters to be very funny, charming and steamy. The ...

Jerold J. Kreisman, Hal Straus
Avon, 1991
I hate you - don't leave me: what a sense of relief
Our family has come in contact with this disorder and nobody had a clue what was going on. The title alone drew me in because it related so closely to what I have been witnessing. Within the first three chapters, I almost wore out my highlighter. So much was similar ...

After the Kiss: The Notorious Gentlemen
Suzanne Enoch
Avon, 2008
An Exercise in Character Development!
Like another reviewer, I too had been disappointed with Ms. Enoch's recent historicals (see my reviews on Sins of a Duke and Something Sinful). However, being an equestrienne with a love of Regency romances, the basic premise certainly piqued my interest.
I thought ...

Amazing!!! Everything I thought it would be and so much more!
First off the hero...Gabriel's character is amazingly well developed. He is convincingly dangerous unlike many of the pseudo sinister rakes and reprobates that authors throw our way. He is noble and honorable too which makes him all the more enticing. This is a ...

Cryptonomicon
Neal Stephenson
Avon, 2002
Long and glorious.
Neal Stephenson is a fantastic writer, and his skills truly shine in Cryptonomicon. Yes, it's a long book, but I suggest to all those who find fault with Stephenson's long-windedness that brevity is not somehow 'better' than verbosity, it's just different. Stephenson ...
