(Great read!)
『I was pleasantly surprised by this book and am looking forward to reading more of Julie Klassen's books.

I really felt like this was a well researched historical novel. The characters are interesting and there were a few twists I wasn't expecting.

All in all, it's a well written book and I highly recommend this book to people who like historical fiction!

Kim G.』


(Beautiful and charming)
『A great story! This book flows so beautiful and the topic is point on. Do not hesitate if you like a wonderful read. Highly recomended!』

(Great Book)
『I was slightly skeptical initially, but a dowloaded the free book, and it was an outstanding book. Kept you on the hook for most of the book.』

(Awesome book!)
『The Apothecary's Daughter is a brilliant book because from the very beginning it just sucked me in. I could never put my kindle down while reading this and I never even read my other books! This book had a surprising turn of events because I was...*spoiler* sure that Lillian was going to end up with Dr. Graves. (Which I'm glad she didn't because I despised him for some reason.) Overall, I really enjoyed this book.』

(Couldn't put it down!)
『Not generally into this genre but this book was free and fabulous! I'll have to buy more from this author.

A nice, long, great read on the Kindle. It's snowing and blowing and this book kept me content from, pardon the antiquated expression, cover to cover!』

『Lillian Haswell, brilliant daughter of the local apothecary, yearns for more adventure and experience than life in her father's shop and their small village provides. She also longs to know the truth behind her mother's disappearance, which villagers whisper about but her father refuses to discuss. Opportunity comes when a distant aunt offers to educate her as a lady in London. Exposed to fashionable society and romance--as well as clues about her mother--Lilly is torn when she is summoned back to her ailing father's bedside. Women are forbidden to work as apothecaries, so to save the family legacy, Lilly will have to make it appear as if her father is still making all the diagnoses and decisions. But the suspicious eyes of a scholarly physician and a competing apothecary are upon her. As they vie for village prominence, three men also vie for Lilly's heart.』

(Light, fun read)
『I'm from a small town in Texas myself, and a lot of the characters in this book, while maybe being a bit stereotypical, were laugh out loud funny ad reminded me of people I knew throughout my childhood. This was a perfect book for me to sit down and read at the end of a long day, and just be able to relax and enjoy without a lot of thought.』

(Great entertainment)
『This charming and fun novel is about a high-powered Hollywood professional who comes to a small Texas town for her show, American Megastar, the hottest thing on television. She's the producer. The mystery sets in when she keeps crossing paths with a handsome cowboy who may not be the country boy he appears to be.

Everyone in town seems to already know all about the surprise reunion that Mandalay Florentino has come to arrange. What's she to do? The local star has disappeared. The gossip from the west coast is that she's gone off with a "bad boy" actor.

Well, everyone seems to be living bored lives in the little town until the glamorous newcomer shows up. Life suddenly comes alive with mystery and romance and action and the bored residents find themselves at the center of all the action. Bored lives no more!

One of my favorite parts is when Imagene Doll, an elderly woman, rides the roller coaster for the very first time.

A delightful read.

- Susanna K. Hutcheson』


(Great Read!!!)
『I really enjoyed the down home humor in this book! In such Hollywood obsessed times it is nice to step back and look at it from a small town view which is perfectly depicted in this story, a must read!!』

(Dee-lightful)
『This is a lovely,funny,poignant,story about a small town in Texas. The speech patterns make this an easy amble down main street.

This is the story of an American Idol type contest where Amber is a contestant. Amber is a very poor child with three brothers being raised by an alcoholic grandfather since their parents died. Mandalay is a TV producer in charge of secretly making arrangements for Amber's surprise concert after being named to the final 5 with an evil boss. Imagine is an elderly lady whose husband and love of her life died a year before.

Mandalay arrives in Daily, Texas to find that her job is in jeopardy if things don't go well and things don't appear to be going smoothly at all.

This book really surprised me. It is written from both Mandalay's and Imagine's point of view which is a bit off putting at first. No sooner do you become involved with a storyline then you turn the page and you have someone else talking. I almost stopped reading this after the first few chapters and I'm glad I didn't. I totally enjoyed this story, the characters became people I'd like to know, the town a place I'd like to live. It is well written and the author certainly understands small Texas towns and has the speech pattern down. I could actually hear the characters talking. Her use of Texas metaphors is outstanding and laugh out loud funny.

Good book for an easy, fun read.』


(fun, easy read)
『I didn't have a lot of expectations for this book, but was pleasantly surprised. It was quirky, funny and romantic. The storytelling was a seamless switch off between two main characters. It dealt with a lot of issues in an uplifting way, but didn't get mired down with trying to be preachy. It was really just a lot of fun but provides room for introspection while you read. It was a pretty quick read, and I was sucked into the story. I liked the characters a lot. Not a classic, but definitely one I would recommend to my friends!』
『The show American Megastar is the hottest thing on television but its associate producer, Mandalay Florentino, is worried. She's just arrived in the tiny town of Daily, Texas, to arrange a surprise "reunion concert" for hometown finalist Amber Amberson. Only it turns out everyone in town seems to know the secret. And paparazzi are arriving. Word from Hollywood is that Amber has disappeared with a "bad boy" actor. Can anything go right in this tumbleweed town? Imagene Doll loves her town of Daily, Texas, but things are lonely without her beloved husband. Life seems dull. At least until that fancy-dressed woman pulls into town, looking terrified and glamorous all at once. Soon life's not the least bit boring as Imagene and the rest of Daily find themselves at the center of a media maelstrom--with a young girl's future on the line.』

(good, easy read)
『I wasn't expecting that much from this book. I loved the Notebook but I know that Sparks is an easy going writer and easy to digest. I read this quickly, snowed in from a blizzard and it was exactly what I wanted, easy romantic fluff. Nice beach read.』

(With the hype of the movie I thought I would review....)
『This book. Read it years ago and thought this was not up to the standard of lets see maybe the "The Notebook" !!! Terriable!!』

(Dear John, I've never been so pumped to see a movie before.)
『Dear John is an excellent book and well written. I've never read a book by Sparks, but I can safely say that I am a fan. It was a page turner and left you eager to find out what happens next between Savannah and John. I read 145 pages in one day. I'm so glad I read this book. I feel that it really demonstrates what true love is. I've never had the desire to see a movie so bad until I saw the trailer. I hope the movie does this book justice. This book was well worth my money. I hate buying a book and it be a total bore. Hope my review helps. :)』

(i couldn't stop reading until..............)
『i got to the mid part of the book first everithing is good summer goodlooking guy on the beach dating the summer they ' re in love bla bla but then the guy chooses the army over her and later on her huband is sick and he sells his father coins to save him no guy would do that ok no a very realistic story』

(slow middle)
『Very good beginning and good ending, although predictable. The middle was so slow, I almost could not finish the book. Bored me to tears. I struggled to make it through to the the ending』
『An angry rebel, John dropped out of school and enlisted in the Army, not knowing what else to do with his life--until he meets the girl of his dreams, Savannah. Their mutual attraction quickly grows into the kind of love that leaves Savannah waiting for John to finish his tour of duty, and John wanting to settle down with the woman who captured his heart. But 9/11 changes everything. John feels it is his duty to re-enlist. And sadly, the long separation finds Savannah falling in love with someone else. "Dear John," the letter read...and with those two words, a heart was broken and two lives were changed forever. Returning home, John must come to grips with the fact that Savannah, now married, is still his true love--and face the hardest decision of his life.』

(My favorite book...)
『Thank you Kathryn for such an enjoyable and meaningful book. I thoroughly enjoyed each of the characters and had fun alternating between laughter and tears.』

(Amazing)
『My book club read and everyone loved it. It will appeal to so many the author did an amazing job!』

(Best Read in a Long Time)
『I can't recall how much I enjoyed reading a book until coming upon "The Help." I grew up in Mississippi, in a small town called Shaw, about 250 miles from Jackson. I so much identified with the different characters in the book that I can close my eyes and hear the maid talking in the kitchen or watch them shop at the local Piggly Wiggly. This book reveals so much about the conflicting personalities of the white Southerner. One side says I'm your owner; the other, you -- our maid is family. This was a very touching book which I read until my good eye ached. Buy it. Read it. And feel the South.



(help - book review)

One of the best ideas I've heard in a long time - writing is kind of off, but the idea goes a LONG way. A little contrived. I love the idea. Great book for losing your thoughts. Enduldge yourself! This is one book you do not want to miss. Can't put it down.』


(loved it!)
『I loved this book and found it impossible to put down . Such real people with raw emotion . Sad to see it end. It really opened my eyes to a world I didnt know anything about.』
『Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step.

Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.

Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.

Minny, Aibileen’s best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody’s business, but she can’t mind her tongue, so she’s lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.

Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.

In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope,The Helpis a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don’t.』

(A breath of fresh air but not enough...)
『I have read a fair amount of Christian fiction and have become quite weary of it. The books are usually poorly written with mediocre story lines and always come off as preachy. "Daisy Chain" was a breath of fresh air to Christian fiction. The book was written very well. The author crafted her words carefully and her descriptions were vivid. Jedd was a very likable and endearing hero. The author had the guts to address a sensitive topic and I loved how all of her characters had their doubts and imperfections.

I only gave this book three stars for a couple of reasons. First off, I am a very avid reader. I usually devour a book within a few days. This book was hard for me to get into. It took me about a week to read it and I was bored at times. I'm not even sure if I will read the second one... The storyline plodded methodically along and I found it confusing when the book would randomly jump to 30 year old Jedd. I would have appreciated some kind of warning or transition that the book was going to a different time period. I loved Jedd and Sissy but I had a hard time with the adults in this book. ALL of them were completely dysfunctional and over-the-top. By the middle of the book I just wanted to scream, "Can we have one normal adult please?" I found it hard to connect with them.

Overall, this book was very thought-provoking and well written albeit boring at times.』


(Stephen King, take note: here's writing to aspire to.)
『Stephen King, take note: here's writing to aspire to.

The richest, most effective prose takes you on a journey you'll not soon forget in this wonderful novel. Not a purple word in the bunch, not a meretricious line to be found, nary a letter out of place. Mary E. DeMuth is the Rembrandt of novelists.

Characters and story so profound you'll wonder why the store bookshelves today are so filled with pulp.

(And by the way, I'm not Christian or Catholic. I'm not another prattling zealot. Just an average reader.)』


(Book Review of Daisy Chain by Mary E. DeMuth)
『"Bright, engaging, often sad and heartbreaking - all woven together with the elements of Christian life. Don't miss out on this one!"

Perhaps I loved this book because I live in the south. Perhaps I loved it because it provoked my memory to my early Christian walk. Perhaps I loved it because it just read like home to me. Whatever the reason, Mary E. DeMuth's `Daisy Chain` is forever etched into my memory as one of my favorite books.

In the summer of his fourteenth year, Jed Pepper's best friend, Daisy Marie Chance, has gone missing. Her last words to him, `You'll regret it', haunt him as he realizes that he is more afraid of father's retribution than of his friend's safety.

Jed is about to break free from childhood cares and be cast harshly into the real world where danger does exist and bad things do happen.

In the small town of Defiance and in the events that follow the day Daisy went missing, most (if not all) of the challenges Christians face are written into the various characters, making them come alive with the struggles we, as readers, face each day.

Struggles like Jed's feelings of failure for not protecting Daisy which prompt questions to and about God's providence. His view of God has been shaped by his father, who has allowed the rules of the Bible to choke out the grace he once knew in the beginning.

Jed asks himself question after question as he struggles to make sense of why a loving God would allow such a sadness. His memories of his best friend are almost too painful at times.

Meanwhile, as God surely does in our own lives at times, new friends enter his life revealing that yes - God has rules, and yes - God doesn't make sense sometimes, and yes - God will do as God pleases, but there is still joy to be known in friendship with an old black man named Hixon, there is still wonder to be known in an old bald women named Muriel, there is still messages of encouragement from his mother each morning.

This is a marvelous read. I can hardly wait to read the next book in the series named `Slow Burn.'

(Gripping...haunting...real)
『I can't forget Daisy. Her spunk, her creativity, her ability to see the best in others--she grabbed my heart from the beginning. But everything's not as it seems in Defiance, TX. Kids don't always come home, parents don't always have their child's best interest at heart, and love is often found in unlikely places. Gripping, haunting, uncomfortably real. I couldn't put it down.』

(Daisy Chain)
『If this book had not been written by a Christian author I would have quit with it early on. I do not like secular books about preachers, and christians that are shown in negative light.

(Okay for a mature reader, great for the younger set.)
『I was expecting something great but was disappointed. After just finishing two other classics, Steinbeck's East of Eden and Lewis' Main Street, I thought I would continue in the classics mode. I am sure it was a great book in its time but if you are used to something like what I mentioned above, then it is not for you. If you are a young reader than I would highly recommend it. The stories are short and the language is not too difficult. The endings are somewhat predictable but maybe not for a younger reader.』

(A great introduction to the world of Sherlock Holmes)
『I originally downloaded this collection of short stories in preparation for the Sherlock Holmes major motion picture that was coming out in 2009. As someone who had never read any of Sherlock Holmes' tales, this was a perfect introduction into the kind of stories Sir Arthur Conan Doyle penned for the legendary Holmes and Dr. Watson.

The Kindle formatting could have used a little work; a currency sign that was apparently being used in the public domain version the Kindle version was "ported" from and instead of a currency sign being shown, miscellaneous characters were. But, all in all, a slight blip and nothing truly enjoyment-breaking.』


(A timeless hero)
『Spending so much of my day plugged into the internet, peering at my iPhone, staring at Excel spreadsheets, it has been an absolute pleasure reading The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes(on my Kindle, I must admit). I am reminded, in adventure after adventure, that there is no substitute for a sharp mind and astute observation. As I watch the master investigator calmly solve the most "singular" of mysteries through the eyes of Dr. James Watson, I almost want to myself be transported back to 19th century London.

If you haven't read any of Conan Doyle's stories, they are worth perusing. I only read a dozen of Holmes' adventures. But in those stories, I grew intimately close with both the detective and his trusty sidekick and doctor-cum-biographer, Watson. I came to admire Holmes' heroic stoicism, encyclopedic memory, and sharp wit.

Each of the adventures follows a somewhat similar plot structure. The adventure opens with a shot into Watson's or Holmes' personal life. You might hear briefly about Watson's life as a doctor, or get a glimpse of Holmes' tobacco, alcohol, or cocaine habits (yes, the rumors are true--Holmes does cocaine). At some point, Watson ends up at Holmes' pad on Baker Street. Both men are then found lounging, Holmes in his "dressing gown," both men likely smoking, drinking, and enjoying a fine meal, usually arms' length from a cozy fire.

Watson, the narrator, will then tell us how, in all of his time with Holmes, the case he is about to elucidate is the most "singular" one yet. Then one of them will see or hear someone approaching their home base; inevitably, the bell will ring and in will enter yet another all-but-hopeless client. We'll get a detailed description of the client's physical appearance, from the clothes on his or her back to the flushness of the face. We'll also always get an idea of what class the client falls into; most regularly, the clients are from higher classes. The client will give us a detailed account of his or her problems as Holmes and Watson listen intently. It is here that the reader is supposed to do the detective work to piece together clues to solve the case. Of course, most of what the client tells us seems unrelated and inane; Holmes will remind us that the simplest cases are the hardest ones, and the smallest of details often the most important.

In most cases, the client has a suspicion that the police's conclusions on the case were flawed. In almost every case, the police were consulted and ended up being wrong indeed. Holmes generally requires a trip to the crime scene, sometimes in costume, and the readers have the privilege to join him with Watson. But most trips are simply chances for Holmes to confirm what he already suspected. Guns may be drawn, extreme danger is almost always encountered, and Holmes emerges the hero. Holmes has a penchant for withholding his conclusions from us until the very end of the story, however, so as the reader follows Holmes' movements at the crime scenes, the reader must do some sleuthing as well.

Holmes will finally tell us what actually happened, and the seemingly innocuous clues from earlier in the chapter prove to be essential to the weaving of the truth. Holmes prefers to strike a deal with the crimes' perpetrators rather than offering them to the police. The clients offer to give Holmes unlimited reward for a job well done, and Holmes calmly requests only that which will defer the cost of his work. He gets enough pleasure out of a job professionally well-done.

Because of the similarities between stories, I recommend taking Holmes in limited doses. But his is a very powerful medicine, one that rejuvenates the mind and strengthens the character. As an example of someone who betters the world by doing what he loves, Sherlock Holmes is a timeless hero.』


(Timeless classic, priceless entertainment)
『I picked up the Sherlock Holmes Complete Collection because my mom had already downloaded it and I was mildly curious. Holmes was the best book I've read in a while, definately my favorite in the Mystery genre.

I love the characters. Doyle whips up such fantastically real people out of no where with the most outrageous situations and stories. The main characters are priceless. Holmes has a very deep compassion for humanity buried among his quirks and strange habits. Watson is such a genuine, sympathetic companion and narrator that it feels like a friend telling a story over coffee.

Let me put it this way, I'm bitterly upset that I finished the series. Bitterly. I wish with all my heart that I could just have a fresh Sherlock Holmes mystery every day. Definately a book I'll pick up again and recommend to everyone I know. My brother read them when he was a preteen/teenager, and I loved them at 24 y/o. I'm sure that a more mature audience would appreciate Holmes, also.』


(clasic sherlock)
『there is nothing like clasic sherlock holmes! the movie doesn't do it justice. I love this book! whoever said the cases were easy to solve must be a ton smarter than I am.』
『The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of the first twelve short stories based on the famous detective, including the cases of The Red-Headed League, The Speckled Band, and A Scandal in Bohemia. Holmes will need to use his various skills, including an aptitude for acting and disguise, tracking footprints, hand to hand combat, deciphering different types of tobacco ash, and knowledge of psychology to solve cases of blackmail, treachery and murder. Sherlock Holmes is famous for his intellectual prowess and is renowned for his skilful use of deductive reasoning, astute observation,and forensic skills to solve difficult cases. Deductive reasoning allows Holmes to impressively reveal a stranger's occupation. Similarly, by studying inanimate objects, he is able to make astonishingly detailed deductions about their owners. This mindset was a major innovation in the field of crime fiction, inspiring authors like Robert J. Sawyer, Neil Gaiman and Stephen King.』

(Good Reminders for Healthier Living)
『What Michael Pollan has discovered through research for his previous books he boils down to 64 simple eating rules that will improve your health. If you can trust that he's done his homework and knows what he's talking about and/or you don't want to be bothered with the science behind the healhty living guidelines, then this book is worth the money. Yes, you probably know all 64 rules, but how many of them are following? They are phrased in catchy ways "Eat plants, not food that comes from a plant" and such, making them easy mantras to repeat as you're reaching for a box of donuts in the bakery aisle. It's the type of book you flip through in one or two sittings, then keep on the kitchen counter or nightstand to remind yourself. If you are the type that needs a regimented diet plan to reach your goals this is not the book for you. But if you are serious about improving the quality of your life and health through your dietary intake and have the willpower to make small changes over time that will add up big, this book is for you.』

(Rules to eat by)
『Although nothing in here is particularly novel, the format is very accessible and should be read within an hour....if that. Michael Pollan keeps his thesis simple: eat food, mostly plants, but not too much. The philosophy behind this is simple: 1) being healthly in the absense of artificial food-substances, which can lead to diesease and 2) sustainable food production vs. eating mass processed foods that deplete our energy resources. His thesis is divided into 64 "rules", sometimes as short as a sentence and others as long as a paragraph. What's wonderful about the rules is that they can be understood by anyone with a primary school education, and the explanations allude to studies or stories supporting his ideas. Many seem fairly self explanatory: Rule #18 states that one should eat foods from plants, not food made in plants. The best thing about the book is that this is a way of life and not a temporary quick-fix; applying these rules should leave the reader satisfied, instead of bouncing from diet to diet. Recommended for everyone!』

(This book RULES (haha))
『...but seriously.

This books is a nice concise version of a much more drawn out book on dietary dealings. More than anything else it's helped me as a food shopper. Just take the rules to heart and they will guide you to MUCH healthier food purchases. This is not really a diet book or a weightloss proposition, it's a plea for healthier eating in general. Much akin to the SlowFood movement, the author is asking eaters to put a higher value on the food they eat in order to enjoy it in moderation. Eating the suggested foods always leaves me feeling better.』


(Easy Read)
『A wonderfully short and concise guide to food and eating for someone like me who has many interests and does not want to get bogged down in some wordy dissatation about nutrition that interferes in my main pursuit of writing run-on sentences.』

(This is the one you should read)
『This was really good, I liked it very much. To me it is the synthesis of his bigger book and proves my point that most books are much too long and the vital information can be synthesized down to one chapter. This is the one I will turn to for ongoing reminders and inspiration.』
A pocket compendium of food wisdom-from the author ofThe Omnivore's DilemmaandIn Defense of Food

Michael Pollan, our nation's most trusted resource for food-related issues, offers this indispensible guide for anyone concerned about health and food. Simple, sensible, and easy to use,Food Rulesis a set of memorable rules for eating wisely, many drawn from a variety of ethnic or cultural traditions. Whether at the supermarket or an all-you-can-eat-buffet, this handy, pocket-size resource is the perfect guide for anyone who would like to become more mindful of the food we eat.

(LindaJane)
『This was a page turner... Very hard to get started, but around page 30 things start to get easier to understand. There are many Vanger family members to keep straight at first, but then it's narrowed down to the main characters. Loved the characters, especially loved the intelligence of the girl and loved what she does to her abuser. This will make an excellent movie. So sorry that this author will no longer be writing, as this book is so well written. I'm also involved in a book club of nine women and everyone enjoyed this book.』

(Brilliant Page Turner)
『Mystery, suspense, great dialog, and intriguing analysis of personal relationships are just some of reasons why you will find yourself immersed in Stieg Larson's first novel.

This fast paced exciting novel centers around an investigation being conducted by Mikael Blomkvist, a somewhat burnt out journalist, who is on self imposed exile from his editorial duties at Millenium magazine due to an ongoing trumped up libel suit. Blomkvist is hired by an elderly, emotionally plagued, rich industrialist, to use his investigative skillset in trying to solve the 35 year old mystery of his missing 16 year old niece.

Larsen's description of his characters are vivid. It appears each member of the secluded Vanger clan sports some type of phobia, depression, or anxiety disorder. Wait to you meet Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood, tattooed, computer geek who assists Blomkvist in the investigation.

This nearly 600 page fiction is a quick read due to the literary prowness of Larsen. You will not be disappointed. 5 stars』


(Swedish murder mystery)
『I'm in the process of reading this fascinating book. Did you know there is a statue of limitations on murder in Sweden? There is no such limitation in the U.S. on murder. Makes me think about which is the better approach. I highly recommend this book because it's a great mystery and it also gives the reader a peek into a different culture.』

(You will not be able to put it down!)
『This book did not seem too interesting to me in the beginning but once I was past chapter 1, I was totally into it. The author started describing the lives of two different characters and I couldn't wait to see what can possibly bring them together.』

(Good, even if you don't like crime thrillers)
『Synopsis: Mikael Blomkvist is a financial journalist who has recently been convicted of aggravated libel of industrialist Hans Wennerstrom. Henrik Vanger is the head of the powerful Vanger Corporation, haunted by the disappearance of his niece, Harriet Vanger, decades ago. Henrik employs Mikael to review the evidence of the disappearance, convinced he will be able to help solve the mystery. Lisbeth Salander is an enigmatic security specialist originally hired by Vanger to provide information on Mikael, but who becomes further involved and assists Mikael in the investigation. The Vanger family history is more complicated than Mikael and Lisbeth could have imagined and the truth is more disturbing and dangerous than they are prepared for.

As a general rule, I really don't enjoy crime thrillers, they are just not my cup of tea. While I don't generally have a problem with violence in books, I'm not really into stories where violent acts and murder (usually against women) are the crux of the tale. I had thought I wouldn't read this book because of the genre, but I had heard such good things about it from reviews and friends who have read it I decided to put it on my TBR list, although it sat waaaaayyy down the bottom. Then the other day I got a voucher to purchase it for half price so I thought what the hey, I'll give it a read. Strangely, I really enjoyed this book, even though it reconfirmed for me that crime thrillers are not my thing. The depth of detail Larsson uses to create his characters gives the reader a visual sense of their life and the world they live in. I really love Salander as a character, Larsson has done a brilliant job of describing the world of a person with Asperger's syndrome from their own point of view. A small part of me groans at the stereotypical-ness of the fact that she is a genius, yet she really is a great and unique woman and one you SERIOUSLY don't want to mess with. The scene of her revenge against her abuser alone is worth reading the book for.

The large host of characters and many plot lines are what makes this book better than alot of other crime thrillers, Larsson keeps them clear and easy to follow and completes every part of the story, nothing is left unresolved. If you are a fan of crime thrillers you will undoubtedly love this book, if you are like me and they aren't your favourite genre I would still recommend stepping outside your genre square and give it a try. I have put the other two books on my TBR list and am looking forward to finding out more about Salander and Blomkvist.』

National Bestseller

An international publishing sensation, Stieg Larsson'sGirl with the Dragon Tattoocombines murder mystery, family saga, love story, and financial intrigue into one satisfyingly complex and entertainingly atmospheric novel.

Harriet Vanger, a scion of one of Sweden's wealthiest families disappeared over forty years ago. All these years later, her aged uncle continues to seek the truth. He hires Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist recently trapped by a libel conviction, to investigate. He is aided by the pieced and tattooed punk prodigy Lisbeth Salander. Together they tap into a vein of unfathomable iniquity and astonishing corruption.』

Amazon Best of the Month, September 2008: Once you startThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, there's no turning back. This debut thriller--the first in a trilogy from the late Stieg Larsson--is a serious page-turner rivaling the best of Charlie Huston and Michael Connelly. Mikael Blomkvist, a once-respected financial journalist, watches his professional life rapidly crumble around him. Prospects appear bleak until an unexpected (and unsettling) offer to resurrect his name is extended by an old-school titan of Swedish industry. The catch--and there's always a catch--is that Blomkvist must first spend a year researching a mysterious disappearance that has remained unsolved for nearly four decades. With few other options, he accepts and enlists the help of investigator Lisbeth Salander, a misunderstood genius with a cache of authority issues. Little is as it seems in Larsson's novel, but there is at least one constant: you reallydon'twant to mess with the girl with the dragon tattoo. --Dave Callanan

(Felt like I was in church)
『I was interested in the story line at first, but it just took forever to get to the end. I actually skipped alot of the parts and still didn't feel that I missed anything. Glad that I got it when it was free for Kindle because I would've really been upset if I paid for it. To much of a sermon for me.』

(Good vs evil Well written)
『WE must have these come across some of these folks in real life. Verv well written. Enjoy』

(Anyone who is not heavy into religion should skip it)
『Yikes, this one could have been far better without the multi page rants on finding God. Give us a break if we wanted to be in church we wouldn't be reading a murder mystery!』

(Not Just Christian Literature)
『I purchased this book as a Kindle freebie. If I was actually paying for it I probably would have first read the tags a little closer. I wasn't initially aware that it is Christian literature. That being said, I found the story and characters to be quite interesting and the Christian element to be a lesser part of the story line. All in all, I did enjoy reading this book.』

(Love this series!)

(Hugely disappointing)
『Having been bombarded by lots of juicy tidbits, I did something that I rarely do: I purchased a book the day it came out. I didn't wait for a sale. I didn't wait for the paperback. I bought it now because I had to have it now. I knew already that the Clintons have a dysfunctional marriage. That McCain chose Sarah Palin as a running mate in an attempt to steal the spotlight from Obama. I wanted the dirt on Obama.

Don't get me wrong. I supported him throughout the campaign, voted for him on election day and now rant about the shenanigans in the House and Senate that are preventing him from doing the job he was elected to do. It's just that he's so perfect. No one can possibly be that perfect.

This book was a HUGE disappointment. It all but deifies Barack and Michelle Obama. I include Michelle because the other candidates' spouses were thoroughly trashed. Except Todd Palin who got off rather easy.

The first two-thirds of the book were riveting. Every bit of dirty laundry belonging to Hill&Bill was hung out to dry. Every detail of every misstep of her ill-fated campaign was endlessly analyzed. John Edwards was portrayed as hopelessly out of touch, his wife less saintly than her reputation. The implication is that she drove him into Rielle Hunter's arms.

Barack Obama could do no wrong and his campaign was perfect.

The last third of the book covering the election, had much less substance. It felt thrown together. What should have been the most exciting period in the run-up to the election with all of the material being provided by Sarah Palin's mangling of the English language and attempts at gravitas instead managed to be almost boring. There were a few behind the scenes anecdotes that did much less harm to her reputation than the skewering she received from SNL and other late night comics. The big revelation that Cindy McCain has a boyfriend falls flat. All of the tired criticisms of McCain are trotted out.

And Barack Obama could do no wrong and his campaign was perfect.

The authors promise much more than they deliver. They have an obvious bias towards Obama. I feel cheated. I was promised "The Race of a Lifetime" but got "Barack and Michelle Obama are saints and everyone else are sinners" instead.


(Nonfiction that reads like a novel)
『This book is excellent. If you read one book this year about anything it needs to be this book. This book makes you think Theodore White has come back from the dead. He is the guy that wrote the famous "Making of the President" books of the 60s and 70s that sold so many copies. I can't imagine any book writing about the 08 election any better. It seems they covered every angle possible.

For sure the book will be consumed over night by all political junkies. However I think everyone will enjoy this book. The book is very well written. As you read it you will feel that you are there in the strategy sessions with the candidates debating the issues and stands. You will probably get the butterflies in your stomach as you read about the various primary nights and big decisions.

This book also pictures the key players like nobody else. The view of the key people isn't what you saw during the election, now in the news, or in any other book. I think you see the real person, not the PR image the campaign put out or the other side. This image isn't quite as complementary as you would think. You see the wrinkles and the flaws in all of the candidates. I do think they were equally harsh or open on both sides.

The book helps the reader really analysis the election. You for yourself can see where mistakes were made and advantages gained from events and/or decisions. Few other books do that. Most have an ax to grind or grind against someone else, or the author wanted to put their candidate/President in for Sainthood. The big picture of who, what and where is lost. This book is almost like a ball game account of hits, strikes, runs and outs.

I think if they wrote their news pieces during the election like they wrote this book we would have had a different result. The book does punch a whole in the reporter's creed as being holier than thou because of their sacred mission. This book proves the truth. They are out to make a buck. Here they figured they could make a buck writing the book and not upholding their pious pledge.

This book is well worth the time to read no matter your interest. If you like Nonfiction you will love it. If you like fiction you will love it due to how it is written.』


(Great Behind the Scenes Look at the Candidates)
『I'm shocked to see all the bad reviews for this book. I enjoyed the entire book from start to finish! It might be the fact that I'm a liberal, but I'm not sure thats entirely the case. I think the book tries to be fair, but leans PrObama, because he won, obviously they will show why he did, so it tends to read as a "why Obama skooled the rest," but I don't mind that. I think the Edwards Chapter was by far the best, until I read the McCain and Palin chapters, lol. All in all, like a previous reviewer said, a great gossipy read. I don't think it changed my opinions on any of them, after all they're human beings like the rest of us!』

(I can't put this book down!)
『This is an amazing inside story of the election and I am enjoying it, although only halfway through. I might read it over again- It is that entertaining. All the pieces and sound bits I remember from the election are put into context within the larger campaign. The authors had incredible access to even the minutest details and numerous closed conversations. It covers many angles including the strategies, milestones, tit-for-tat actions, many personal recollections, alterior motives and the humorous parts sounding like an Agatha Christie novel. It opens your eyes to the reality behind the perception we as voters see from the media, and it was very different. It is also a bit concerning- The mindframe of some of our "leaders" and their actions without regard for the long term health of our democracy.』

(Suddenly Dated)
『Sarah Palin is depicted as a hysterical boob on the verge of a breakdown. John McCain is described as being like your crazy old uncle lost in his own house. John Edwards is described as a moral imbecile. Hillary Clinton is described as well meaning but not quite top shelf - kind of indecisive. Gee, I wonder who they admired?

This is a fairly sly and subtle piece of Obama propaganda. Obama is consistently portrayed as noble and wise. Perhaps occasionally he can be worried and he is also arrogant once and a while too. But the authors suggest that Obama's arrogance is surely forgivable when he is so manifestly superior to his opponents.

However this morning the news again is running stories about how Obama's popularity is tanking. He seems to have managed to blow his own popularity and has Democrats running away from him lest he destroy their own electoral hopes the way he has for the Democrats in Vinginia, New Jersey and Massachusetts. Yes indeedy, Obama has brought about Game Change. Last year all the pundits were writing off the Republican Party. One short year of Obama and they are now writing off the Democratic Party.

Why has Obama been unpopular? First of all he has appointed a number of very extreme cabinet ministers. Eric Holder decided to try terrorists in civilian courts. This action is deeply unpopular but not unpredicted. All the signs were there during the campaign that Obama was going to be soft on terrorists. But this issue was dismissed in this book.

There was a lot of concern during the campaign about Obama's radical friends and advisers. Few actually thought that he would appoint so many communists like Van Jones. But Heilemann and Halperin ignore the Communists, Weathermen, and Black Muslims who surrounded him. His pastor Jeremiah Wright was revealed for the white hater he was and is, but the authors treat this episode as another demonstration of Obama's ability to manage a crisis.

A lot of observers during the campaign began to sense that Obama didn't care very much for white people. When he got in power he demonstrated a good deal of racial prejudice in the Cambridge police incident. He immediately presumed that the black guy involved was in the right and the white cop was just a stupid white cracker. Obama's behavior didn't surprise people who had studied his background, but these authors don't give a hint that he might harbor such notions. One has to wonder just how close they actually got to the real Obama.

Another Obama action that has been deeply unpopular but not unexpected is his focusing on health care issues. The nation is in one of the deepest downturns in our history and millions are out of work. Yet Obama has focused on certain health care issues that are important to Democratic Party interests but much less so to the people these days. This disconnect too was predictable during the campaign but not remarked upon in this book.

The same is true about Cap and Trade. A real investigative reporter wight have considered that the Cap and Trade legislation makes a lot of Democratic Party supporters very rich while is hurts the nation's economy as a whole. But Heilemann and Halperin never question Obama's motives the way they question those of Edwards, Palin and McCain.

At the end of a year of Obama just about everyone now realizes that Obama's promises are worth nothing. He promised, for example, transparency, bi-partisanship, and an end to racial bickering. At a joint session of Congress his address was recently interrupted by a Republican screaming, "You lie". Justice Alito seems to think he lies also. But our inside investigative reporters Heilmann and Halperin never spotted any of this coming.

No other President has ignited such a reaction as the Tea Party Movement. No other President has boosted gun sales so much. But this "inside baseball" look at Obama and his opponents saw none of this as a even a possibility.


InGame Change, John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, two of the country’s leading political reporters, use their unrivaled access to pull back the curtain on the Obama, Clinton, McCain, and Palin campaigns.

Based on hundreds of interviews with the people who lived the story,Game Changeis a reportorial tour de force that reads like a fast-paced novel. Character-driven and dialogue-rich, replete with extravagantly detailed scenes, it’s an intimate portrait of some of the most powerful and fascinating figures in American life—the occasionally shocking, often hilarious, ultimately definitive account of the campaign of a lifetime.
