Back to Life by Kristin Billerbeck


This is a gigantic load of crap. I wouldn't recommend this to an inmate who had nothing else to read....

Darkling by Yasmine Galenorn


This was alright. This author has an incredible imagination; if she could just improve her vocabulary and writing skills to match she would be in good shape.

The Girl Who Played with Fire by Steig Larsson


This one was a typical sophomore novel for me. I loved the first one and this one just felt like he tried too hard. I'm hoping for redemption in the 'third and final'.

The Final Detail by Harlan Coben


If Myron Bolitar were a real guy I would immediately drop everything, become Jewish, and marry him. As always, a good mystery sprinkled liberally with multiple laugh-out-loud moments.

Marley & Me: Love and Life with the World's Worst Dog by John Grogan


I really liked this book. You laugh, you cry, sometimes you even get a little irritated. If you are or ever have been a dog owner, this is a must read. It made me anxious to see the movie.

The Windup Girl by Paolo Bacigalupi



To think a work of fiction is published every 11 seconds in the United States and I picked this one to read... I clearly hate myself...
