Customer Review: Although I am not really a mystery fan, if a book is well written, I am more than happy to dig in. With all the hype surrounding this series and friends who loved this book I was really hoping to enjoy this book. I thought it would be somehow different. From the very beginning I found it to be quite... more info
Customer Review: Have to agree with all the two- and three-star reviews of this, the third act in the Millenium (Blomkvist-Salander) Trilogy. The first hundred pages or so are okay, as are the last 100 or so... but my goodness, the middle (bulk) of this story is tedious and mind-numbing for the most part, with tons... more info
Customer Review: Allow me to preface this by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed Hunger Games, and that I thought Catching Fire was downright fantastic. Mockingjay, on the other hand, was a farce. It was almost as if Collins became bored with the world she had created, and decided to focus on the contrived love... more info
Customer Review: A great suspense story with characters who are so very interesting. How this author's mind must have worked to craft this story....It's a shame we'll only get the trilogy. I can't wait to read number three in the series.
Customer Review: I wanted to like this book. Everyone I knew loved it and said I had to read this book. I didn't make it past Italy. I was disappointed that she was paid to take this trip (book advance) and wondered how much of it was manufactured for the book. Also, to me, her tone seemed haughty and... more info
Customer Review: I have a literary hard-on for James Joyce. Not so much the author - he wore an eye patch, and (for the millionth time) I'm not into dudes - but his characters, his prose. Ulysses, the sprawling tome of a text he was best known for, gave more than a little to David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest,... more info
Customer Review: This novel was thoroughly enjoyable and easy, light reading. The mystery is woven thoroughout sub plots that focus on family life and specifically the relationships between mothers and daughters, and to some extent the relationships between neighbors as well. The novel reads like much of... more info
Customer Review: I'm a big fan of "Survivor" so I hardly had to read any of the back flap of THE HUNGER GAMES before I was hooked. 24 kids in a fight to the death on live TV sounds gruesome, and it was, but it was also intriguing. I was in Katniss Everdeen's head from the beginning; I felt her desperation and I... more info
Customer Review: Older man. Young reporter with a lesbian ex-girlfriend. Set in Europe - most of it in Sweden. On the track of bad guys. Sound familiar?? I was half way through when the similarities hit me. I like some Patterson series (Women's Murder Club) but won't read anything else with Liza Marklund as the... more info
Customer Review: I initially got this book because it was free, and thinking it was free I expected it to be short and sweet and a quick read. However after the first few chapters I was totally hooked and I found it hard to put this book down. I love historical romances and this had everything. I have never been to... more info
