| 1. |  | The Shack: Where Tragedy Confronts Eternity
from Oasis Audio
Price: $18.47
Customer Review:
Up until the time Mack returned to the shack, I was fairly interested in the story. But Young's attempt to humanize the religious figures made them laughable. The writing turned amateurish, with lines of dialogue followed by he chuckled, he yawned, she sighed. One cannot chuckle, yawn, or sigh a... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 2. |  | A Mercy
from Knopf Canada
Customer Review:
A friend and I were talking a few months back about Madame Nobel Laureate, Toni, and why we both shake our heads at the dismissal of a truly brave artist such as Alice Walker. So what am I doing on this page other than I couldn't help but give this new, slender novel a read?(--which is exactly what... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 5. |  | The White Tiger: A Novel (Man Booker Prize)
from Free Press
Price: $8.40
Customer Review:
This book is hilarious. It is witty, with the narrator using contemporay language to make fun of rich people, politics, urban life and even Muslims (who I hope will take no offense). The book is a quick read because it is easier to understand than other Booker award-winning books. The book has no... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 6. |  | 2666: A Novel
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $18.00
Customer Review:
This work, by one of a handful of brilliant writers, spans the whole of the imagination. Clearly without equal, the late Robeto Bolano, has made concrete dreams and razor edged light seem commonplace. Pervasive, funny and savage all at the same instant | 4.5 / 5.0

| 7. |  | Just After Sunset: Stories
from Simon & Schuster Audio
Price: $31.49
Customer Review:
This book is a collection of short stories by the "Master of Short Stories." Most of these are very good and I wished they were longer. I found only a couple that I didn't get into; hence 4 instead of 5 stars. Must read for all King fans!

Customer Review:
Attention! Attention! Everybody out of the pool. Wally Lamb has jumped the shark!
And boy did he ever.
His characters encounter Columbine, 9/11, Hurricane Katrina an the regular gambit of an author who has obviously at this time run out of ideas.
And the book is long. Long and... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

from Hachette Audio
Price: $15.63
Customer Review:
Every time Nicolas Sparks has a new book releasing around Christmas time, I always put in on my wish list. It always provides a fun, easy read and The Lucky One is no different.
