While I enjoy reading Tom's recount of his adventures, I couldn't understand all the unexplained events that just happen. When Tom goes to a new teacher, he gets a lesson in alcoholism and tough love, although I felt the alcoholism was glossed over as a "demon." I look forward to reading the next novel and seeing where Alice ends up ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79014886 to: Death Match (Mass Market Paperback) by Lincoln Child
A troubled investigator searches to find out why perfectly matched couples are committing suicide. About halfway through the book, I already figured out the "bad guy" and didn't find it as exciting. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79014794 to: Vanished (Hardcover) by Joseph Finder
Thrilling story of one brother searching for his estranged brother. I like the story is set in DC, but too many parts were just too predictable ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79014710 to: The Oracle Betrayed: Book One of The Oracle Prophecies (Paperback) by Catherine Fisher
Interesting story of a meek timid girl who must overcome her fears to face betrayal and dangers. Captivating. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77915581 to: Shoe Addicts Anonymous (Hardcover) by Beth Harbison
cute story about a group of shoe addicts who use their addiction to shoes as a bonding moment. Some of the characters seem fake and completely unrealistic ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76768912 to: Sword of the Rightful King: A Novel of King Arthur (Paperback) by Jane Yolen
A delightful story of King Arthur, told from alternate points of view. I like the twist on the popular names - Cadbury instead of Camelot, and Merlinnus instead of Merlin. Morgause is so wicked, she's the obvious villain, while her children are an interesting bunch. In the early sections, the mysterious Gawen and his history kept me wanting to read more. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76307142 to: Natural Born Charmer (Chicago Stars, #7) by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Blue & Dean have an interesting love/hate dynamic that plays out well, but I felt Dean's parents are a bit to crazy to be anywhere near believable. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75730427 to: Deep In The Valley (Grace Valley Trilogy, #1) by Robyn Carr
much too sappy. Harps on and on about the small town life, June's lack of love, the wandering preacher, and the medical emergencies. I also felt there was no real plot until about 3/4 of the way through the book. I definitely skimmed through this one. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75721877 to: Foundation (Valdemar: Collegium Chronicles, #1) by Mercedes Lackey
Great story of rags to riches for Mags. A great job describing his empathy and aloofness. The feelings of joy from joining with their companions is getting a tired - it seems like all the joinings are quite similar from book to book. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75169579 to: Neverwhere: A Novel (Paperback) by Neil Gaiman
Wow, dark, intriguing and interesting. I spent quite a bit longer reading this than usual so that I would not miss any details. I liked the depiction of the underworld, the creepiness and the craziness of it all, like a bad or wild dream ]]>
