Freeheads by Kerry Nietz

SuperFreakonomics by Steven D. Levitt
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a quick read, partially because of the subject matter, and partially because it is just over 200 pages long. I think what is especially cool about “Super Freakonomics” is that you never quite know what you’re goi...more

The Games by Ted Kosmatka
The Games
by Ted Kosmatka
read in February, 2012
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
For a first novel, “The Games” is wonderfully executed. From start to finish it is a page-turner, with enough hard science and speculative goodness to please fans of Michael Crichton or Preston & Child. The characters are well-drawn and distinctive—a...more

Micro

read in January, 2012
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I have to admit, I was concerned. The reviews of “Micro” seemed so lackluster that I was almost afraid to read it. I wondered if it would taint the memory of an author I really admire. Sure, I knew the reigns were handed off to Richard Preston—a nota...more

My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I haven’t touched a John Grisham novel since the summer of 2008. After a good stint where I read and enjoyed over a half dozen of his works, “The Appeal” stopped me cold. That book was so incredibly anti-corporation and its characters were so unbelie...more

by Sharon Hinck

My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I really enjoyed this book, mostly because it surprised me. The description hypes the fact that the heroine is a soccer mom pulled into another world. Since I have never been either a mom, or a big fan of soccer, I wasn’t sure if the story would conn...more

One Step Away by Eric Wilson
One Step Away
by Eric Wilson (Goodreads Author)
read in December, 2011
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
The latest novel by Eric Wilson defies the standard classifications. It is one part mystery, one part romance, one part action and a dash of supernatural thriller.

The narrative is strong, with just enough tension to keep the pages turning. The chara...more
