| | 1. |  | All Souls' Rising
from Vintage
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
I remember the first time I read a work of serious historical fiction. The book was OLIVER WISWELL by Kenneth Roberts, and it was electrifying. I must have been about 13 at the time, and that tale of the American Revolution, told from the Loyalist point of view rocked my world. It not only put a... more info

| | 3. |  | Master of the Crossroads
from Vintage
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
I'm in the middle of the trilogy here, so I don't want to waste too much time writing about the unfinished work, but after 750 pages, let me note that I'm still spellbound by Bell's work. I love the way the title informs the whole work: at each crossroads (and there are many) I marvel at Toussaint's... more info

| | 4. |  | Stone that the Builder Refused
from Vintage
Price: $12.71
Customer Review:
I had read the first 2 books of this trilogy and looked forward to the third with a great deal of anticipation. After a hundred pages, however, I felt a sinking sensation as I realized that this story could not possibly have a happy ending. Bell had done such an excellent job realizing his... more info

| | 6. |  | God's Country
from Beacon Press
Price: $11.90
Customer Review:
Percival Everett's "God's Country" is at once the funniest and dryly bitterest novel about race I've read. Not to mention highly entertaining dialog -- all around, one terrific book. Everett just keeps getting better and better for me. Up next, as soon as it arrives (hurry up Amazon), is Grand... more info

| | 7. |  | Straight Cut (Hard Case Crime)
from Hard Case Crime
Price: $6.99
Customer Review:
Yes, maybe I was expecting something different from Hard Case. I devoured the previous books in the series and enjoyed most of them. But this one stopped me dead in my tracks. It was well-written, no doubt about that. The author has a way with words. But as far as plot goes.. Cliche after cliche.... more info

| | 10. |  | Anything Goes: A novel
from Pantheon
Customer Review:
This book is my first exposure to Madison Smartt Bell, and I'm impressed. The book begins with a debauched scene that, frankly, was too much for me, but I persevered. And as I persevered, so did the main character, a 20-year-old who's playing bass guitar with a cover band. That character (Jesse)... more info
