| 1. |  | The Shack from Windblown Media Price: $8.24 Customer Review:  At the risk of sounding sensationalistic, I would like to have returned to me the hours of my life I spent reading this book. I will give the author two stars for creativity. However, the rest of the book can best be described as . . . unusual. If you are a person with strong Christian beliefs you... |

| 2. |  | Sookie Stackhouse Boxed Set (Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood) from Ace Price: $30.76 Customer Review:  First off - if you are interested in the True Blood series on HBO - get these books and get this set. I was STRONGLY recommended to read these books after talking about the show by a friend who read them when they first came out. So I did...purchased one at a time. Boy do I wish I would have bought... |

| 3. |  | Cross Country (Alex Cross Novels) from Little, Brown and Company Price: $16.79 Customer Review:  I enjoyed this novel and I've read Alex Cross stories before. This was definitely different, but not in a bad way. We see a new, desperate, edgier Cross, confronted with forces he can hardly comprehend. He has to discard his lawful approach to justice and survive according to the laws of the... |

| 4. |  | The White Tiger: A Novel (Man Booker Prize) from Free Press Price: $8.40 Customer Review: The White Tiger just won the Man Booker prize. It is a well-deserved award. (I first heard about The White Tiger when it won a place on the Man Booker short list.) Many others will write long-winded reviews, so I'll spare you. Suffice it to say that this is a terrifically fun--although not... |

| 5. |  | Divine Justice from Grand Central Publishing Price: $16.79 Customer Review: I have enjoyed the "Camel Club" stories and must admit that this one was the most enjoyable because the "perils" never ceased until the very end. I think that the main characters have been given more fullness in this book than in his previous stories. This may be a maturity of writing that has been... |

| 6. |  | The Gate House from Grand Central Publishing Price: $16.79 Customer Review:  I've read most of N. DeMille's books over the years, and esp. loved the The Gold Coast. While it's sequel (?), The Gate House, has a fairly strong start (up to p.140 or so) and end (the final 30 pages), the overly long vast middle section (500 pages or so) could have profitably been edited down to... |

| 7. |  | The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo from Knopf Price: $14.97 Customer Review: Lots of interesting characters and plot developments and twists with a roller coaster ride end that while quite satisfying also leaves the reader thirsty for more. Tragically for him and his readers the author has passed away before seeing his work published. Fortunately for us readers... |

| 8. |  | The Private Patient (Adam Dalgliesh Mysteries) from Knopf Price: $15.57 Customer Review: Don't get me wrong; P. D. James has written characters specific to some of her books that linger in my memory to this day, years after having read about them in one of her earlier stories. Even the most minor of her characters practically walks off the page in front of you while you're reading one... |

| 9. |  | Extreme Measures: A Thriller from Atria Books Price: $16.77 Customer Review: Flynn's previous novel was a disappointment and I thought he had lost that hard core edge that made me a major fan. I was wrong! Extreme Measures was Flynn at his best. And it certainly looks like Mike Nash will be his partner in the fight against terrorists. That is until Flynn decides that Nash... |

| 10. |  | The Brass Verdict: A Novel from Little, Brown and Company Price: $16.19 Customer Review: Michael Connelly has effectively combined characters from two of his books to make an extraordinarily pleasurable book. From The Lincoln Lawyer he uses the main character, attorney Michael Haller. From the Bosch series (17 books) he takes the irascible Harry Bosch, premier detective on the LAPD... |

| 11. |  | Dead Until Dark (Southern Vampire Mysteries, No. 1) from Ace Price: $7.99 Customer Review: ... so this is the perspective my review comes from. I'd recommend that anyone who likes True Blood to read the story. It's pretty simply written, and the story is actually somewhat sweet. If you're expecting the detail of the series, you'll be disappointed. True Blood is pretty faithful to DBD, but... |

| 12. |  | From Dead to Worse from Recorded Books Price: $23.09 Customer Review: I'd not been impressed with the first book in this series; thought it was too derivative of the very early Anita Blake setup back when those books were good (which was the first two volumes). But I needed a book on CD for a longish road trip I was taking alone, and this seemed a passable... |

| 14. |  | The Appeal from Doubleday Price: $18.45 Customer Review:  I read all of Grisham's books and usually like them, but this is way below standard. The characters are too stereotypical, they are either perfectly good or perfectly bad; the story is predictable, and there is too much politics. Spoiler: All republicans are bad, all democrats are... |

| 15. |  | Salvation in Death (In Death) from Putnam Adult Price: $17.13 Customer Review: This was a great addition to this series. It just keeps getting better with every book. I can't wait for the next one. |

| 16. |  | Duma Key: A Novel from Pocket Price: $9.99 Customer Review: Awesome, awesome book! Well done,Steve! One of his absolute best. Very cool characters and scary. I loved this book! Wireman was my favorite character. I could not put this down! I always had to know what was going to happen next. It was sad that Ilse got killed. I didn't like Wireman dying at the... |

| 17. |  | Dashing Through the Snow from Simon & Schuster Price: $15.64 Customer Review: In Branscombe, New Hampshire, the townsfolk are excited and volunteering as the village prepares for its first ever Festival of Joy with plans to hold annual galas. Visitors are expected from the rest of New England and especially New York. In fact novelist Nora Regan Reilly and her daughter private... |

| 18. |  | The Given Day CD from HarperAudio Price: $47.25 Customer Review: I am a fan of Dennis Lehane and thought Mystic River an unforgettable book. The Given Day is extremely long but remains informative with much education regarding Boston at the end of the First World War. Lehane is excellent at drawing the reader into his story and developing almost touchable... |

| 20. |  | All Together Dead (Southern Vampire Mysteries) from Recorded Books Price: $23.09 Customer Review: Love these books, devoured all of them . . . witty and interesting! The stories never get boring and the characters are always interesting; she blends the main characters with new and exciting ones each time. I'll be sad to get through the final book; I'll really miss my Sookie Stackhouse fix! |
