from Vintage Books
Price: $8.97
Customer Review:
Cormac McCarthy in the Writer's Alamanac for July 20, 2008 is quoted as saying, "There's no such thing as life without bloodshed. I think the notion that the species can be improved in some way, that everyone could live in harmony, is a really dangerous idea. Those who are afflicted with this notion... more info

from Simon & Schuster
Price: $15.57
Customer Review:
Having read every single one of JLB's books this most recent addition to his ever growing body of bestsellers is excellent. If you want to get away and find yourself seemingly embodied by interesting, albeit, shady characters, and smack dab in the middle of a locale you may have never visited, be it... more info

from Penguin (Non-Classics)
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
I surveyed my class and 80% gave it two thumbs up: 5 stars. That's 28 out of 35 students. The rest of the class gave it an OK: 3 or 4 stars. So my giving it 5 stars has been backed by research into the general public's taste. ;=)
Now, I'm not much for spending time on fiction. I don't need... more info

| | 5. |  | The Dangerous Days of Daniel X
from Little, Brown and Company
Price: $13.59
Customer Review:
it's a pretty weak premise overall; daniel x is a 15 year old boy who seeks revenge for his parents. at first, you think it's interesting because the antagonist is this creature that looks like a 6 foot praying mantis, named the "prayer". but then, it gets worse. daniel's powers don't make complete... more info

| | 6. |  | The First Commandment: A Thriller
from Pocket
Price: $7.99
Customer Review:
Unblievable storyline, over the top characters, and a writing style that is burdened with unecessary attention to extraneous detail, creating a sense of labored, overly structured writing. Even so it's readable and at times enjoyable if you can overlook the flaws. This Side of the Gate

| | 7. |  | Life of Pi
from Harvest Books
Price: $8.99
Customer Review:
The premise is interesting -- a man and a tiger aboard a small lifeboat. The novel, however, gets very tedious. And the end with the insurance adjusters (who come across as Laurel & Hardy) was unbelievable. The book was entertaining at times, but not worth finishing.

from Harcourt
Price: $9.20
Customer Review:
This is a truly beautifully written book and an amazing story. I love animals and this story provides such a wealth of fascinating insight into animal behaviour. I know it is not a new publication, but this made no difference to the tale, plus the illustrations are wonderful. What a great value also... more info

| | 9. |  | Devil May Care (James Bond)
from Doubleday
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
Faulks has the time frame down well - the smoking, the attitudes towards sex, the weapons, etc., but he lacks the finesse of Fleming.
He is dead on with his decription of Tehran - from the mountains to the "jubs" - but, somehow the plot never really seems to excite the reader the way the old... more info
