from W. W. Norton
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
Other reviewers have hit the nail on the head with their reviews, so I will just add that this is a beautifully written novel that I found hard to put down. 2 weeks after finishing it, I find myself still thinking about this thriller.....It is a great thought-provoking read . Highly recommended !!

| | 2. |  | Due Preparations for the Plague: A Novel
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.86
Customer Review:
I realize that this is an Amazon Editors pick for 2003, but I'm not sure exactly what they saw in this novel. I found it to be tedious, dry and uninspiring. The author's writing style is confusing and overtly manipulative, so I couldn't buy into the story that she was trying to sell me. By the end I... more info

| | 4. |  | The Last Magician: A Novel
from W. W. Norton & Company
Price: $11.86
Customer Review:
I bought this book as a mass market paperback - I am not even sure why it was in the bookstore, since I'd never heard of the author before - and have read it at least a dozen times. A few other reviewers said it was confusing, but I found it fascinating. The author presents the story in pieces and... more info

The people on the far side of the world in Outer Maroo, a small opal mining town in Australia, comfort themselves with a mantra: "if rain had come, things might have turned out differently".

| | 6. | [no image] | Borderline
from Bantam
Customer Review:
While not very long, this is a pretty ambitious book. It deals with political morality and individual responsibility. It speaks in the voice of several characters, and uses such literary devices as a narrator who stops to talk to the reader, acknowledges bias, and speculates on the truth of his... more info

from University of Queensland Pr (Australia)
Customer Review:
Sometimes if I read a writer's books out of the order in which they were written, I think that had I read the first one first, I might not have read any further. This certainly would not have been the case with this fine, beautifullly written first novel by Janette Turner Hospital. It certainly is... more info

| | 10. |  | The Tiger in the Tiger Pit

Customer Review:
This may be the best Hospital I've read. The title is from a line by T. S. Eliot and describes the patriarch of a family, Edward Carpenter, a retired school principal. The novel is set in a small town in Massachusetts around 1990 (though written in 1983)when Edward's wife is planning their fiftieth... more info
