Novelization of Angel episode 'City of Angel'.

thriller

Synopsis: Thriller.

Review: Sandra Brown is one of my favorite suspense writers. I enjoyed some of her other works such as ` ENVY' and `THE CRUSH' and `HELLO DARKENESS' ranks right up there with some of my favorites. It is a race against time when radio personality Paris Gibbson receives a terrifying phone call from a regular listener who goes by the name of Valentino. Valentino claims that upon Paris' advise his girlfriend is going to break up with him, so he has kidnapped her and plans to kill her in 72 hours leaving the girls death on Paris' conscio...

 

Book 3 of 6 in the Earth: Final Coflict tie-ins series.

Review: Requiem for Boone is an incredible look at the life of William Boone, from his service in the SI war to his work in the Denver PD. It also provides brilliant insight into Kate Boone, in the form of correspondence. Every other chapter is written as one of Kate's e-mails. Though this is a somewhat unorthodox method of story-telling, it is very effective in letting the reader understand her, while still advancing the plot. This is a must-read for any fans of the series, especially given that it shows the first meeting between Boone and Augur. One...

 

historical novel

Review: I liked this book, a simple life story of a poor serf and his dreams, sort of rags to riches with a heavy dose of righteousness.

Quite a page turner, a nice story really...


Review: This book is amazing. I couldn't put it down and read it in two days!
The story is pacy. exciting and heartbreaking in places. Close your eyes and you can see the images unfold as the descriptions are so vivid.
A few times since reading it I have though to myself.. poor Hugh, how much more could he have taken?. Would make a fan...

 

Legal thriller

Review: Would have made a good short story. Or a great novel, had it been written by Dickens.

Review: The first half of this novel is great - just what you would expect from Grisham. The scene is set for a spectatular fall from grace by a young lawyer who lets greed take over his morals. Sadly, once the scene is set absolutely nothing happens. There is no traditional Grisham-twist, in fact there isn't even a story. Once you've read the first few chapters you will be able to predict what will happen in the rest of the book which makes me think Gr...

 

Legal thriller set in 1970, Ford County.

Review: How anyone can give this book less than 4 stars is beyond me.

Every character is brilliantly thought out, the story is deep and involving. It asks questions of the reader and will no doubt stay with you for a long time after you finish.

Buy Grishams earlier work like this and you won't be disappointed

Review: Another very enjoyable Grisham novel. Very good character portrayals and conveying of a community in the deep south. Not quite as action packed as the plot precis on the sleeve ...

 

Legal thriller

Review: The same old Grisham. The master of the yarn, but this time a little different. He's not in the courtroom this time - no. There is a lawyer involved, or rather an ex lawyer, but this time he's on the run. He flees from country to country and the people chasing him catch.... well that would be telling wouldn't it. Suffice to say the book is classic Grisham, at his best spinning a yarn without an awful lot going on. It's gripping and the ending well.... that would be telling too.

Review: This book really started out well..with a bang. And i...
