Price: $8.24
Customer Review:
As a work of fiction and a theological narrative The Shack scores below average on both fronts. For book so highly touted by well-respected critics, this book was a huge disappointment.

| 4. |  | The White Tiger: A Novel (Man Booker Prize)
from Free Press
Price: $8.40
Customer Review:
It's a good book. I don't know whether all the hype is justified though. I like how it's structured as a series of letters to the Chinese Premier. It's a novel way to write a... novel. The main character is an interesting guy/sociopath with a penchant for learning from his "masters" and he learns... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Price: $16.79
Customer Review:
In his fourth book featuring the characters introduced in the Camel Club, Baldacci presents an entertaining, if somewhat contrived, tale as Oliver Stone (aka John Carr) attempts to run for freedom following the assassination of two, high-level government officials in the third book. At the same... more info | 3.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
doesn't even deserve one star... found myself wishing the mob would whack the ex wife ... characters are unbelievably wooden, stiff language, shallow - only enjoyable thing about the book (besides that it FINALLY ends) is the brief flashes of sarcastic humor from the main character I have enjoyed in... more info | 2.5 / 5.0

from Knopf
Price: $14.97
Customer Review:
I see laments on these pages that "I wish the next one was coming out sooner." Well, I was so fired up by the enthralling "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" that I went to Amazon UK and ordered The Girl Who Played with Fire there. That way, I don't have to wait six months. It's out mid-January 2009.... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 8. |  | The Private Patient (Adam Dalgliesh Mysteries)
from Knopf
Price: $15.57
Customer Review:
All I have to say about this book is that I read every word. It's wonderfully written. The only author whose every word I read is James Lee Burke. Usually these British books aren't as good to me as the TV series, but this one was wonderful, great atmosphere and characterization. | 4.5 / 5.0

| 9. |  | World Without End
from Penguin Audio
Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
WORLD WITHOUT END: Another great read by Ken Follett! A little longer than PILLARS OF THE EARTH, but it, too, left me wanting more. Two hundred years after Prior Philip in Kingsbridge, the characters and conflicts Follett has created rival those in the prequel. | 4.0 / 5.0

from Penguin Audio
Price: $26.37
Customer Review:
I got as far as page 106 and couldn't waste any more time on this book. Too many random words in Spanish-just enough to wonder what the author is talking about. There were also a lot of footnotes-tiny footnotes-that made this feel like a boring school book. I tried, but couldn't finish this book. We... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
