One Minus One: Nancy Pearl's Book Lust Rediscoveries
by Ruth Doan MacDougall
A for character development; D- for enjoyment (3/31/2013)
I'm a fan of Nancy Pearl (author of the Book Lust series) and wanted to read this book because she recommended it. Nancy mentions she read it years ago and still thinks about the main character. The book does deliver on character development and an excellent description of …more
Original Sin
Original Sin: A Sally Sin Adventure
by Beth Mcmullen
Slightly out of focus (2/22/2011)
Yes, I would recommend this book. I'm sending my copy to my sister. What was good: interesting plot, dialog, and characters. What needed more work: Sally's son was the only character that I could "picture" in my brain. For me, novels like this should be like watching an …more

As a recent refugee from the corporate world, I admire Vail for being a guy who …more

The Outlander
by Gil Adamson
Satisfying (11/30/2009)
I've always been intrigued by stories of women who pick up and run away from their everyday lives, often bringing nothing with them from their old lives but the clothes they are wearing. Anne Tyler's "Ladder of Years" is a favorite. Running away and starting a new life -- …more
Greasing the Piñata
Greasing the Piñata
by Tim Maleeny
Disappointed (10/13/2008)
Maleeny's writing style is bright and fresh, pulling the reader into the story from page 1. It reminded me of Lee Child's thrillers. Things quickly take a downturn as murders and torture are described in sickening detail. One eye-gouging sequence keeps returning to my mind, …more
