I have never before reviewed a book without reading it, but I dislike vampire novels more than I can say. I don't have any idea why Amazon would recommend this for me. Please do not ever include any vampire, living dead or similar books to me.

I have been home sick and was looking for a good book to read. My Mom had ordered this book and passed it on to me. Quite honestly, I don't think I'll ever read another Nicholas Sparks novel. Although, I have enjoyed some of his earlier works, The Notebook and Message in a Bottle, this book seemed to have little more substance than a Harlequin novel. Call me jaded, but that's the way I felt.

After reading this book, I read thru some of the less flattering reviews out of curiosity. I think it boils down to what mood you are in. I find that my mood affects my enjoyment of certain types of books - maybe that true for some who didn't care for this. I enjoyed it, and found myself telling my husband about parts of it that I found interesting - the historical aspects of the area, etc. It's an enjoyable read. The format of the letters makes a nice change - though it wasn't very realistic that all of the letters' authors would have such similar styles of writing. It's difficult to emulate different writing styles - so that was a risk, I thought. But I did enjoy the story, and I guess I was just in the mood for a warm story about a special place, and people who found their families ... Read More

The White Tiger just won the Man Booker prize. It is a well-deserved award. (I first heard about The White Tiger when it won a place on the Man Booker short list.)

Many others will write long-winded reviews, so I'll spare you. Suffice it to say that this is a terrifically fun--although not intentionally funny--book. The author does such a fine job of character and place development that you see the people and events in your mind's eye. (That's another way of saying that you're really disappointed when you turn the last page, come to the end, and have to leave. You want to hang around and learn more, but there is no more. Sad......) The language is crisp and breezy. The author remains focused on his tale and doesn't meander all over the countryside with needless detail and side stories.

"A Mercy" is one of Toni Morrison's most accessible novels of late. In general, when an author is compared to Faulkner I run the other direction, but Morrison is the exception. The "Faulkner-essence" in "A Mercy" is mercifully minimal. Be not afraid.

In this novella, Morrison explores not just slavery, but also the experiences of Native Americans, indentured servants, and the ambivalence of early settlers who were not so keen on slavery...yet benefited from it nonetheless. It is also easy to read a strong anti-religion thread through this story. Neither Protestants nor Catholics escape condemnation, although Lina's made up Native American spirituality seems acceptable.

"A Mercy" was an enjoyable read, though it seemed truncated; I would have been happy to read much more about these characters. ... Read More

a friend let me borrow this volume.
said it would fit in nicely with my 'philosophy'.
not that I believed everything I read here or anywhere else.
but the general idea is correct.
I can look at what is deducted from my paycheck everytime I am paid to know that I am getting the excrement end of the stick, so to speak.
and having a couple of relatives who are actual representatives and congressmen, proves beyond a shadow of a doubt there is some shady stuff.
all governments are like this.
but thats the point.
in the microcosm that is the usa, no one is fit to lead because from birth to adulthood many if not all of us learn how to deceive and to succeed at the expense of others. not all act on these all the time, but the more 'power' one holds , the more damaging these actions are.

30.The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by: Stieg Larsson

Books : The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Lots of interesting characters and plot developments and twists with a roller coaster ride end that while quite satisfying also leaves the reader thirsty for more.

Tragically for him and his readers the author has passed away before seeing his work published.

Fortunately for us readers there are still two more books to come in this trilogy.
