The Executor: A Novel
by Jesse Kellerman

Excellent! (4/29/2010)

My first book by Jesse Kellerman and cannot wait to read his previous ones! I loved everything about it: the plot, the well-defined characters as well as the depiction of the darkness of the human soul that permeates the entire story. I ended up caring deeply for Joseph …more

House Rules: A Novel
by Jodi Picoult

Wow! (4/12/2010)

Wonderful book! The reader literally falls in love with Jacob and his family and whishes he/she could protect them from harm. It is a book that will stay with you long after turning the last page. Words are not enough to describe the feelings of warmth and compassion this …more

Hell Gate: A Novel
by Linda Fairstein

Good story (4/11/2010)

Caught
by Harlan Coben

Great book (4/5/2010)

Another wonderful story by Harlan Coben. I loved the way the characters were depicted. The plot is captivating and doesn't let go until the astonishing end. This book will leave you completely satisfied but eager for Mr. Coben's next one! =)

The Wild Zone: A Novel
by Joy Fielding

Oookaaayy.... (3/24/2010)

I cannot believe Joy Fielding could write such a low level entertainment story where the reader guesses right from the very first pages 'till the unsurprising end. I read and liked all of her previous books but this one. Found myself yawning more than once throughout the …more
