Hubby gives it an "4" -- says it's well-researched (typical Michener) and kept him turning pages.

Reading a Nero Wolfe story is like a visit with old friends. Wolfe's irascibility and Archie's sense of humor keep you smiling throughout the murder and mayhem.

Back cover: ...literally a mini-encyclopedia about Apples: Apple history and folklore; health and nutrition notes; description of apple varieties; buying and handling apples; many illustrations in color

Tolkien meets Erica Jong by way of Isaac Asimov in this fanciful re-working of human evolution. A really good story but seriously marred (to my mind anyway) by Cullen's adolescent preoccupation with bodily functions and fluids and overly large male genitalia.

A fascinating history of diseases and their development and mutations.

A chilling portrait of a man seemingly without a conscience, written by the grand-nephew who ended up perhaps wishing he'd never discovered this particular skeleton in the family closet.

A page-turner, filled with suspense and intrigue and just the right amount of romance to keep things interesting.

I had some trouble getting into this one but once I got about a quarter of the way it was a page-turner. The end was fairly predictable but the many twists and turns along the way kept it interesting. I could have done with less of the fight scenes.

Like it's predessor, The Bourne Identity, a real page turner. Fast paced, suspenseful, and peopled with three dimensional characters.

I can't claim to have been able to follow all the political understories in this trilogy, but all three were great stories with characters that made you want to know how they were going to make out in the end.

Another winner from Cook. Packed with suspense and medical detail.

One of the best Serge Storms books yet - gives us some good background via lots of flashbacks to his grandfather Sergio's life when "Little Serge" was but a wee little terror!
Review Date: 1/15/2007
Four widely diverse essays all written in 1977. Sage, sad wisdom from Kay Boyle in "lock up"; a frenetic and somewhat confusing account of events at Wounded Knee in 1973 from Thomas Sanchez; a fairly pointless and insipid (IMHO) piece by a young Erica Jong; and a grand curmudgeonly rant on America by an irascible 85-year-old Henry Miller.

The final collection of Sherlock Holmes stories.

The Philadelphia Inquirer said of this book, "All but impossible to put down until the final page." I can vouch for that as I read it in one sitting, right through the night!

I tried a couple of times to read this but just couldn't get past the first few chapters. :-/

Some amusing bits but nothing that really struck me as laugh-out-loud humor.

This engaging and ocasionally profound chronicle of Miller's odessey through Greece at the start of WWII will hold a well-worn place in my permanent collection as I've no doubt I'll return to it again and again.

Loaded with great recipes and highly entertaining stories of the author's eccentric southern family. A very fun read!

A typical Cook page-turner. Much of the story line is fairly predictable but there are a few surprises. A fun read.
