Sentinel: A Spycatcher Novel
by Matthew Dunn
Not enought character development (7/4/2012)
This is one of my favorite genre of book. This author has not created a main character that the reader care about or wants to know what is happening next. There is a lot of technical detail but very little of the human element.Perhaps the authors share too much in common …more

Mystery in a different time. (5/16/2012)

Character study of a place and time. (12/3/2011)
The USSR in the 1930's is the main character of this story of murder and political intrigue. Trying to solve a crime and keep the different entities from putting the detective in prison or the gulag. Very insightful into the suffering of the people in the name of a political system.

Gone Tomorrow
Gone Tomorrow: A Jack Reacher Novel #13
by Lee Child
Old fashion hero (10/11/2010)
Reacher always takes you with him every step of the way. From the openings words, you are caught up in a chain of events that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the last page is read. Always left wanting the next book to be available immediately.
The Queen's Lover
The Queen's Lover: A Novel
by Vanora Bennett
Bring History to Life (3/3/2010)

One Amazing Thing
One Amazing Thing
by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
Must Read (1/22/2010)
This book was too short. Just as you were getting to know the people the book was over. I felt like I was part of this group and wondered what my story would be. I would recommend to anyone who likes people of diversity.
