The Time Traveler's Wife
Audrey Niffenegger
Harvest Books, 2004
Best Book I've read in a LONG time
+ Loved it!
I absolutely loved this book. I abandoned all of my responsibilities for two days so that I could read The Time Traveler's wife without stopping. I have now recommended it to everyone I know. It's a little confusing in the beginning, but a good confusing, because the author makes you want to ...

Guilt (Abe Glitsky)
John Lescroart
Island Books, 1998
Keeps you reading
+ Good first read
+ Good but not his best
GUILT is one of those books that keeps pushing you to read "just one more chapter."
If you read the back cover, it is about a murder, but we don't get THAT murder until page 300. The set up is worth the read. Lescroart populates his novels with plenty of interesting characters and motives.

She's Come Undone (Oprah's Book Club)
Wally Lamb
Pocket, 1998
Read aloud & loved by all on a rainy camping trip
+ Very good book. Not happy, but good.
+ A quick read despite the 465 pages
We went on a camping trip with a bunch of teenagers 16 & above and all it did was rain, so to pass the time, we took turns reading aloud, and just could not put this book down. You will not easily forget Delores, because she lives in many of us. You will not be disappointed with this book, we all ...

I Know This Much Is True (Oprah's Book Club) (Oprah's Book Club)
Wally Lamb
Harper Perennial, 1999
It's hard to get into..
+ One of my favorites!!
+ Great Book
But it's worth it.
It took me over 2 years to read this book. I struggled with not just with the length of the book - but also with the narration. I admit I didn't admire Dominick - I even disliked his character, and couldn't even bring myself to read more than a few paragraphs at times. But ...

The Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown
Doubleday, 2003
Calm down people!
+ Women beyond belief
I haven't read this book in a long time, but I feel obligated to write a review due to the vast amount of controversy over it.
First, let me just tell you my impressions of the book. I found it riveting to read. It is definitely a page-turner which keeps you hooked until the very end. The ...

Darkly Dreaming Dexter: A Novel
Jeff Lindsay
Doubleday, 2004
My favorite serial killer!
+ A heartless killer with heart
+ Read it then watch it
What can I say about Dexter - he's a wonderful character! Its amazing that a monster can be so likeable and so sympathetic. I listened to the audio version and I really loved it. The story is great and Dexter is so amazingly well developed, that you really feel like you know him. One tiny ...
