Book

The Christmas Wedding (2011)

I knew this would be a book without a lot of depth, but hey it's Christmas and a little fluff reading was what I was wanting. It wasn't even worthy of a good fluff rating. What did I expect when it's about a woman with grown children who decides to get remarried on Christmas Day?-----only she's n...

I, Michael Bennett (2012)

Ok. Disappointed with the end, but I have the next book so no wait for me. I find it hard To believe that he would keep the kids at the lake house even after he knew they had been targeted. To top it off, the whole MC leaving. She needs to get over it. She is the nanny. His wife didn't die al...

Maximum Ride Five-Book Set (2009)

I'm a science fiction fan and it has been a year ago since I first ran across this series in the library. I was surprised that I had not heard much about it in the hallways because usually when great books come out you usually hear everyone talking about it which is usually how I decide to read ...

NYPD Red: À Margem da Lei (2014)

I like James Patterson, but was not a fan of this book. I like mysteries and being able to try to figure out who the culprit is. In this book you know almost from the beginning who the bad guys are. James Patterson has been one of my favorite writers but I have to admit that his recent novels c...

I Funny: A Middle School Story (2012)

I loved this book, and I'm rooting for Jamie Grimm to win regionals in book two! Jamie isn't your normal protagonist. For one thing, he can deliver a punch line like someone many years his senior. For another, his comedic abilities are catapulting him into the limelight of comedy stardom, and he'...

Hope to Die (2014)

"It was ok" sums up my feelings towards this book fairly well. I borrowed it from a friend who bought in the airport on our way to New Zealand and couldn't fit it in his bag on the trip home.

Battle for Shadowland (2010)

Nice little side-episode to the adventures of Whit and Wisty as they fight the One Who Is The One. It bears to mention that you have to be at least familiar with what happens in the first book to fully understand all that happens and is mentioned. There are a couple of panels that try to give som...

Alex Cross, Run (2013)

Most books do not hold my attention. This is not the case with most of James Patterson's books. "Alex Cross, Run" is certainly no exception.

Merry Christmas, Alex Cross (2012)

I was shocked with the position Alex was put in, and I really felt bad for him for once. Most of what he encounters is by his own choice because he just can't seem to say no. This time he could not say no and I really felt bad for the position he was in.It is strange that I started reading the ...

The 8th Confession

Her hair was a shimmering shoulder-length cut in four shades of blond. Her finger- and toenails had been lacquered recently, oxblood red, no chips.
