Slash
Slash, Anthony Bozza

HarperEntertainment, 2007

Great Read!

+ my $.02 review

A Drink Before the War
Dennis Lehane

Harvest Books, 2003

Dennis Lehane is a great storyteller!!!

+ Great read

I thoroughly enjoyed A Drink Before the War. The characters and storyline were so well-developed that it's hard to believe this is a first novel. Highly recommended reading.
  
  











  



  
Odd Hours
Dean Koontz

Bantam, 2008

Has Dean Jumped the Shark?

Before anyone throws stones in my direction, I am one of those rabid fans who has read everything Dean has written. He is the one author who's books I purchase new automatically, the hardback version, the one where I have to plunk down some real bucks because I can't wait to enter Dean's world. ...

Twilight

This is one of the best books I have ever read. It it a story of first love set in the most impossible of places with the world's most unavailable guy. The banter between the characters and the power of new love make this book great. I would recommend it to anyone.

The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter (Oprah's Book Club)
Carson McCullers

Mariner, 2004

A Favorite Over 45+ Years

+ Good

I first read this book as a teenager and have read it again several times over the years. There is something so deeply revealing about the human condition in the book that it is as meaningful to me in my sixties and it was in my teens - I think that something is perhaps a window into the angst of ...
