Fantastic story brilliantly told 
None at all Fills a couple of hours Too many loose ends More excellent storytelling Slow to start, abrupt finish Well researched gritty, gripping novel. Not quite as good as her previous novels Exciting adventure, easy read, outstanding writing from James Patterson. As a series fan, it doesn't quite hold up to my expectations; a longer more complex book would have. colourful setting, fast paced storyline Nothing that is outstanding or different to any other crime novelHappy Baby Bunny and Friends
The books uses your childrens senses There isn't any.
The Penultimate Truth - Philip K. Dick
a worthy addition to the best sci-fi masterworks collection difficult to read and get into
300 - Frank Miller & Lynn Varley
Historical, stirring, moving stylistic piece of art Very heroic violent
Tigana - Guy Gavriel Kay
Balletic, complex plot and characters; beautiful prose; emotional depth Those after a quick-paced page-turner need not apply

Education - Davis, M.C.
Game Theory: A Very Short Introduction - Ken Binmore
Interesting insight Written in a very academic style
Something Good - Robert N. Munsch
Challenges stereotypes but is also as funny as mustard illustrations are quite canadian looking (note the lumberjack shirt on dad) which may not appeal
The Vanished Man - Jeffrey Deaver
A lot of brilliant technical knowledge for fans of Penn and Teller-style illusions Plot is lacking credibility and villian is bit 2-dimensional
Still Waters - Tami Hoag
An Easy Read, Well Written, Can Be Bought Very Cheap More Romance Than I Was Expecting
The Sphinx - Graham Masterton
A nice idea and certainly an original Egyptian myth that I had not encountered before Story is poorly executed and not a great deal occurs compared to his usual novels...
