You will pick up this book in the store and wonder whether it might be a murder mystery, supernatural thriller, or other faithful genre of popular literature.
You will flip through it to sample dialog, perhaps an ordinary paragraph. You might do this when you pick up a book to get a taste, sort... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
It has been a week since I finished this book and now feel like I can write an objective review. The writing style of the book is average. The turn of word is not altogether mind blowing and seems forced. After listening to Mr. Becks show I somehow expected a better read. Instead we have a teenager... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 3. |  | The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel (Oprah Book Club #62)
from Ecco
Price: $14.27
Customer Review:
This book has the potential to become a modern classic; it was extremely well-written and drew me in like few books can. It reminds me of Cormac McCarthy's The Road. Especially good were the events and impressions from both Almondine's and Edgar's points of view.
The last pages of the book,... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
As Stephen King's novels have grown to be more and more bloated, I have stopped reading them. His short stories, however, don't cry out for an editor with a fast red pencil, so I still enjoy them. This latest collection is no exception. As wtih any short story collection, the entries are going to be... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
Okay...so this seems alittle different than your typical Alex Cross novel. He does seem alittle character in this novel, but dont we all change alittle throughout our lives. It is a different Alex Cross, but I can believe it. It is also a nice change from the run of the mill serial killer type story... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
All I needed to know before buying his book was that Nelson Demille wrote it. No one will be disaappointed. I haven't finished the novel, but the typically brilliant wit of Demille is certainly needed during the difficult times our country is experiencing. | 3.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I am surprised at how well-received this book is. I don't think it's five star worthy, but it's not a complete waste of time. I think this book would be universally appealing, however, because it's a classy, charming read, but it's nothing mind-blowing. It's written as a collection of correspondence... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
