| 11. |  | Murder Game (GhostWalkers, Book 7)
from Jove
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
The his-hand-fisted-in-her-hair scenario...definite turn off, especially after the fifth or sixth occurrence (and this is before page 278 of 446).
On Page 278, the heroine asks, "What if I do get pregnant," after having sex numerous times. This doesn't occur to her before now?
She's a... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 13. |  | Anathem
from William Morrow
Price: $14.98
Customer Review:
"Anathem" represents yet another excellent novel by Neal Stephenson. In this book, Stephenson essentially invents a world for the reader. This is not an easy read...but I found the book well worth the investment of time and effort involved in completing the novel.
While the style of "Anathem"... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 14. |  | Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, No. 1)
from Ace
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
"Summer Read" in my mind means overdone sex, campy mystery, and humor.
From prior reviews I expected a mix of Evanavich's Stephanie Plum character and Meyer's Bella character but that's not what I got.
I bought the whole series but will probably not read them. | 4.0 / 5.0

from Little, Brown Young Readers
Price: $12.23
Customer Review:
I have been reading this at the local library. Though I have only read about 35 pages, it has been very entertaining. and although, one would sometimes be discouraged by the size of the book, it is a quick read. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 16. |  | Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (Harper Fiction)
from Harper
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
Having just finished Wicked, I find consolation in the 1-star reviews. The author, with all his noble intentions, fails - like the poor Elphaba -in all of them. So much promise, and such an annoying and depressing result. | 3.5 / 5.0

from Three Rivers Press
Price: $10.17
Customer Review:
***No spoilers***
Being an avid reader and huge post-apocalyptic zombie fan I thought I would really enjoy this book. I think this book suffers in two ways. One is that it tries to be to realistic and instead comes off sounding fake. I never felt scared or hopeless for a character and some of... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Tor Books
Price: $17.13
Customer Review:
My wife got me this book for Christmas. And while I was reading it she kept asking how it was. I kept describing it as "It's OK". After finishing it, that's still how I feel. It was OK. Nothing I'd recommend to anybody else.
One thing I did like was that Ender was "Ender" - the magically gifted... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from William Morrow
Price: $17.79
Customer Review:
Granted it has been some time since I read the first two books in this trilogy; however, the third book seemed to be entirely unrelated to the first two, both in plot and writing style. I forced myself to finish it because I am my father's child and hated the idea of having wasted money. I thought... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 20. |  | His Dark Materials Omnibus
from Knopf Books for Young Readers
Customer Review:
I had watched the Blu-ray version of The Golden Compass and liked it a lot. That prompted me to buy the original books, especially since the second and third books were not going to be made into movies. I certainly wasn't disappointed! As I said in the title, I had a hard time putting it down even... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
