Doing Harm
Doing Harm
by Kelly Parsons
Excellent Thriller (10/23/2013)
Doing Harm is a medical thriller. It is gripping from the start and never lets the reader rest. It's definitely one of the best thrillers that I have read in years. It is the story of Steve MItchell, a doctor at University Hospital, who meets and gets involved with a killer. …more

Amy Falls Down

Amy Falls Down (6/17/2013)
Amy Falls Down is the story of Amy Gallup, who falls down, hits her head on a birdbath and then comes awake just in time to give an interview while concussed. The interview is very peculiar and sets off a firestorm of interest in Amy and her writing, but mostly in Amy and …more
The World Without You
The World Without You: A Novel
by Joshua Henkin
A good book about family (1/4/2013)
I found The World Without You to be a very satisfying novel of a dysfunctional family. It is the story of a family coping with the loss of their son/brother a year previous in Iraq. The family is brought together by the anniversary of the death, but the story is really all …more
The Casual Vacancy
The Casual Vacancy
by J.K. (Joanne) Rowling
Dissapointing (11/29/2012)

A Thousand Pardons
A Thousand Pardons
by Jonathan Dee
An enjoyable read (10/13/2012)
This the first book by Jonathan Dee that I have read. I can't compare it to any of his other works. I can, however, compare it to the two most recent books I've read. Those books are the most recent releases by J. k. Rowling and R. L. Stine. The J. K. Rowling was …more
Sharp
Sharp: A Memoir
by David Fitzpatrick
Sharp is not an easy read, but is worth it (7/26/2012)
I was not sure how I felt about reading Sharp, it's not my usual reading subject of choice. I do however read a large variety of books and wanted to give it a try. I wound up enjoying Sharp very much. It is definitely a well written book and is told in a voice that I cared …more
The House of Velvet and Glass
The House of Velvet and Glass: A Novel
by Katherine Howe
Old Boston, Opium, Psychics and the Titanic (4/1/2012)
Over the course of the 1st 150 pages or so of this novel I was not sure that I was going to like it. The book seemed slow and I couldn't really figure out what was the point. The characters themselves were interesting from the beginning and the descriptions of the settings …more
