Book Reviews from 'Get Your Paws on a Good Book'
The Cell by Stephen King: Extraordinary, realistic, great detail!
Coming Out by Danielle Steel: Ho-hum! Not one of her best-quite lame. A quick read that moved laboriously s l o w!
Surrender to a wicked spy by Celeste Bradley: What a fun read! Had a hard time putting it down.
Glorious Appearing by Tim LaHaye: Wonderful, so gripping.
Vineyard Prey by Philip Craig: Ok, rather slow in beginning, but got more exciting.
Teacher Man by Frank McCourt: My entire family, of all ages, was really keen on Mr. McCourt's first book, 'Angela's Ashes'. Now, he is recalling his 30-year teaching career. I'm a retired English teacher, and so-much enjoyed reading about his sixty semesters of teaching.
Payback is a Mutha by Wahida Clark: Wahida Clark is back with a banger! This book is full of deceit, treachery, sex, murder, and mayhem and is sure to place Ms. Clark back on the Essence Best Seller's List where she belongs.
Armageddon by Tim LaHaye: Seems like they wandered off with this book. Not sticking to story.
My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult: I liked some of her other books better. This one was a little hard to get into, but once I did, I couldn't stop. Very emotional!
Desecration by Tim LaHaye: inspirational, great read.
44 Scotland Street by Alexander McCall Smith: What's not to like about yet another great read from the man who wrote 'The Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency'? He now lives in Scotland and is 'spot-on' re places and things in the UK. His plot is brilliant, and I especially liked the incidental drawings which turn up in unexpected chapter locations. Its 325 paperback pages, and an un-put-downable book.
Soon by Jerry Jenkins: A different take on the end of times than the Left Behind books. Religion and Christianity are illegal now, after WW III. Paul Stepola is an agent after the religious zealots, but after being injured and finding out what is really going on, becomes a double agent for God.
Remnant by Tim LaHaye: gripping, fast read.
Devil Wears Prada by Laura Weisberger: This was a great book. I expected more from the ending. I would like to see the movie to see how they transformed the book to the big screen.
The Last Days of Dogtown by Anita Diamant: Great characters in original, interesting life circumstances, gives a glimpse of life we might not ever imagine--seems authentic, believable, well-written.
