Feast for Crows - George R. R. Martin
Twisting multiple plotlines over a massive world of engaging characters.
Not one you can pick up without reading at least the third novel.
Strangers - Taichi Yamada
Very emotional and original storyline. Ghostly ending.
Slow to start and not much incentive to read on.
When I grow Up - Lennie Goodings
lovely picture book with heart warming story
none
Dreaming of Strangers - Matt Thorne
Reference to films
Too short, no character development, characters not likeable
Sins of the Fathers - Lawrence Block
Matt Scudder, well written
Linear story, too obvious

Graphic Novels / Comics - Moore, Alan
