I loved the Lincoln Lawyer n many other Connely charachters. For me the foreword by Stephen King ruined the experience of reading the book. My expectations soared as the novel lagged behind trying to catch up. The plot of murders of homicide cops was good. The way the clues unfolded was well thought. The characters were beautifully sketched. What lacked…

Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Takes long time to start n too emotionally stagnant. But as the book progresses the story seems to take off and fly. I personally loved the way emotions of all the protagonist are not limited to whether or not she loves Gale or Peeta, though that got old in the first book itself. The caring and support system that develops…
Lovers and Players by Jackie Collins
A typical Jackie Collins’ book. If you’ve read one, you pretty much know what to expect in the next. That is a relief for some and a downer for others. In my case, I knew just want I felt like reading when I picked this one up. Except you still cannot guess when the next expected twist is about to…
Shopaholic & Sister

On the other hand, the writing is always so humorous and the story always takes a wonderful turn that makes for wonderful story telling. Here we have the Luke and Becky…
The Undomestic Goddess

There is no great murder mystery, and you even know who the culprit is quarter way into the book. Yet, yet – the author’s colorful scenes and funny twists have you wondering what could possibly happen…
The Quickie
I have been disillusioned of Patterson’s writing in a while now. I’ve been sick of the series’ books he’s been putting out there. They make reading work somehow, where one has to dredge through the pages. Yet I picked this one up on a whim just to see how Patterson is doing these days. And I have to admit I…
Twilight
I saw the movie last year beginning and found it so so. Read the book and found it relatively the same, yet there is something that has you turning the pages and seeing next scene. Stephenie meyer brings nothing impressive to the actual writing. Yet her conceptualization of a vamipire and their supposed world is interesting enough to hold your…
