First Rider's Call (Green Rider, Book 2)
Kristen Britain
DAW Hardcover, 2003
Continued enjoyment
+ A solid middle book
+ Strong fantasty, bittersweet
I liked First Rider's Call as much as I liked Green Rider. There is adventure, magic, intrigue and wit all written wonderfully into this story. I think that Britain is very talented to be able to use typical magic, but weave it into a book that isn't like anything else you have ever read. ...

Wolves of the Calla (The Dark Tower, Book 5)
Stephen King
Donald M. Grant/Scribner, 2003
The Wolves of Calla...an excellent addition to the Dark Tower series
+ Defending A City In Gunslinger Tradition
+ Keeps getting better!
This is my favorite book of the Dark Tower series.
I've never been a huge fan of horror (Stephen King's or anyone's else) but the fantasy aspect of this particular series has really caught my attention. And in truth this is much more fantasy than your typical Stephen King horror.
In their ...

On Secret Service
John Jakes
Signet, 2001
Secret Lives in the Civil War
+ Civil War Historical Fiction
+ Really good story-call it James Michener for Dummies
I am a big fan of John Jakes. ON SECRET SERVICE is as good as all his other books; the difference is that it stands alone and is not part of a series. The books tells the story of how the modern-day government Secret Service agency began during the Civil War. It's really interesting to read how it ...

The Silken Web
Sandra Brown
Warner Books, 1992
Hot and Steamy!
+ Poignant and almost perfect
SILKEN WEB has to be one of the most romantic, sexually graphic and tantalizing books that I've read by Sandra Brown. This is the story of Kathleen who marries Seth, a rich man who can give her everything, except what she needs in bed (figures, huh?). Then Erik comes into the picture - Erik, who ...

Angels & Demons
Dan Brown
Atria, 2003
Wild Ride
+ A good read
+ Angels and Demons Book Review
Dan Brown is a master of puzzles, and it shows in Angels and Demons.
Some people may balk at the unlikelihood of some of the situations in this novel, but I thought they were really interesting quagmires of danger with very clever solutions.
Even if there are inaccuracies in Angels and Demons, ...

The King of Torts
John Grisham
Dell, 2003
Great story with an intriguing insight to the world of class action law suits
+ It's About Time
+ I now consider this fantastic after a 2nd read
This was a great, classic Grisham novel. But what I liked most is the insight into the class action law suits that now seem to be so prevelant in today's society, whether its the tobacco suits or the suits against drug companies. Grisham does a fantasic job of getting you into the mind of the ...

Earl Swagger Hunts Again!

I fell in love with Stephen Hunter's Earl Swagger novels this year. Luckily I discovered the first one at the beginning and listened to them on audiobook in order. There are three of them so far. HOT SPRINGS, PALE HORSE COMING, and HAVANA.
The Swagger name may sound familiar to people. Mark ...

Leading with Soul: An Uncommon Journey of Spirit, New & Revised
Lee G. Bolman, Terrence E. Deal
Jossey-Bass, 2001
Easy Read Business Book
+ leading with soul
+ Leading with Soul book
Leading with Soul is an easy read. But it has so much to give to the reader. It interweaves a story line of an executive in crisis with business advice rather than just telling war stories. It could be one of those business books that you read once a year. It is a living book that would ...
