This storyline had just the right amount of speed and twists.  I was definitely drawn into the lives of the characters and loved connecting the dots along the way!  It's a great ride!

Rob "Diesel" Kroese can make anything funny. If you read his blog, Mattress Police, then you already know this. For those unfamiliar with his past and first experiencing him through Mercury Falls, then you are seeing a man at the top of his writing game.

There's a reason that people are ranting, raving, and leaving 5 star reviews for this book all over the web: It's so entertaining that you can't put it down, and once you finish the final chapter, you head right to Google to find out when the movie is slated for release.
As of right now, there is no movie, but Hollywood should take note of this great work of fiction and realize it's potential as a hit.

Being a longtime reader of Kroese's blog, I was a little put off when the cover image was released and I found myself faced with a classic angel painting. Knowing that the book focused on the Apocalypse I worried that due to my lack of religious knowledge that I might be missing out on key ingredients vital to the story. I'm happy to report that this is not the case! Rob foresaw this problem so he filled in the biblical verses for the readers where they were necessary.

The character development was great in Mercury Falls and you grow to know and feel for the main characters. Mercury himself is a character worthy of many books to come. I spent a lot of time wondering Karl was based on anyone Robert knows.

Overall, the book kept me entertained, kept me laughing, and there were days when I couldn't wait to get home to read it. I look forward to more novels from Kroese whether or not the characters remain the same. Above all, the message of this book was a great one, and rang through loud and clear: Don't follow blindly, make your own decisions in life, and don't hesitate to question everything.

I wish Rob all the success in the world.

I had given up on reading any more of Grisham's books but I picked this one up while on vacation last year.  And I loved it.  He is back on his game and he has done a very fine job with The Litigators.  It's clever, funny, touching and ironic. And it is SO visual.  If they make a movie I hope they don't screw it up.  Read it!  You won't be sorry.

As usual John Grisham delivers yet another riveting novel full of twists and turns.  I just love the Deep South themes and the way he delves into the old traditions and creates a story that has the reader so involved that they forget everything and everyone and feel transported to the place and time that the story revolves around.  This is just another in a long list of great reads by Mr. Grisham.  I forsee a really great movie soon and I for one will be there with my bucket of popcorn!

This film is an instant classic!  Superb acting, engaging dialogue, and superfluous action scenes combine to make this one my favorite of all his films.  Despite access to streaming and premium cable channels I had to have this in my permanent collection!  If you order the Blu-ray it's like watching the movie for the first time, as you will be able to fully appreciate the meticulousness that went into the film's production.

I am so excited to have found an amazing author like Adams! He's right up there with the best of the best and this novel will not disappoint! I am an avid Dean Koontz fan and I find Taylor's writing expertise to be very similar in that he gets one liking (or hating) the characters, drops bomb shells all over the place and keeps one guessing until the very end. I am ADDICTED and can't wait to read his latest...Eyeshot.

I was anxiously awaiting this B Company installment after reading Gettysburg, and it did not disappoint! It is once again filled with action and colorful characters that move the story forward at a rapid pace. A real page-turner if ever there was one. Just two books in, and I feel like I've known these characters forever. This speaks volumes about the talent of this writer. I've wasted my share of money trying out indie authors on Amazon, only to be disappointed; it's refreshing to occasionally come across one that I enjoy, and even more refreshing to find one like this that leaves me wanting more. Kudos, Mr. Pourteau. You've obviously found your calling. I highly recommend this book (and the first one in the series--Gettysburg) to anyone who enjoys action, suspense, great characterization, and even some well-timed humor thrown in.

This is a must see film!  Story, cinematography, acting, directing and music are timeless!  Hope the Blu Ray comes out soon.

Can't say enough about David Biship and his books!  Each one just gets better!  Seems that Matt Kile has found himself back in action and what action it turns out to be!  Calandra is trying to find her sister, Frances Hopkins and bring her back home as their Dad is worried sick that she has fallen into the wrong hands and is headed for trouble and just how right he is.  Frances is a beautiful woman who loves adventure, fast action, the wrong men and Hollywood.  Think of the days of bootleg booze, illegal gambling, speak easys, the good guys, those not so good and of course the police who are always there some of them too the good guys and then those not.  There is mystery, intrigue, fast action, love and all those good things David always seems to put into his books that keeps you reading and wanting more.  I totally enjoyed this book and hope you will too!

Adam Young is genius!  Not since Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails have I seen a one man outfit produce something of such high quality!  Adam, or Owl City, is spectacular in both songwriting, performance, and production.  The mixing and engineering on this record are the highest standard out there.  Try and find a band that does a better job!  And his songs make you happy, yet make you think at the same time.  He kind of sounds like Ben Gibbard in a way, but without the crying and sobbing that you'll hear on Death Cab for Cutie or The Postal Service.  There are the feel good songs, like "Cave In" and "Fireflies".  There are beautiful tracks, like "Meteor Shower" and "Vanilla Twilight".  And there are just great dance tracks too, like "Umbrella Beach" and my favorite track on the album, "Tip of the Iceberg".  That song is so experimental and the beats so fun that it's just an experience each time you hear it!  I'd say the only bummer or dud would be "Dental Care".  He could lose that song and I don't think I'd be upset.  I am really diggin' this here stuff, and for those like to explore new stuff, try Owl City.
Peace and love,
Jake

Quite some time ago now I enjoyed a movie named "Black Hawk Down". The movie was powerful and very well done, so I made it a point to notice the screenwriter's name as I slipped the video tape back into its sleeve.

It's not surprising to me that I've since seen the name Ken Nolan pop up a number of times, either having written the television show I happened to be watching or being interviewed in an article I happened to be reading. He seems to always be where the action is, and I've always enjoyed his work.

I was recently browsing through Amazon.com and was lucky enough to happen across at a book titled "The Spawn". I liked the title and wanted to see if I recognized the author's name. I was blown away when I saw that it had been written by Ken Nolan! I couldn't get a copy of it into my shopping cart fast enough.

I started reading it immediately upon delivery and was unable to put it down. The plot was very well thought out with just the right amount of intricacy, sensuality and humor. Ken's command of the written word allowed the action to flow perfectly from beginning to end. I got to know and believe each of the book's characters and couldn't wait to turn the page to find out what happened to them next. Ken was able to build and maintain a spine tingling level of horror and suspense right through to the last word of the last page.

Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of "The Spawn". It's a satisfying read and a great first novel by Ken Nolan. I can hardly wait to see what else he has up his sleeve!

You know it's a great book when your kids and spouse are mad at you for being MIA, lately. It's a good thing I read quickly! Drawn right back in from the first page. Couldn't imagine any additional characters I would love as much as the original from book one, but he does it again. I am DYING to see this as a major motion picture! What a blessing these books are and this author is! Read from book one, cherish and share with everyone you know!

My first novel by Adam Mitzner. Excellent! The story keeps one riveted, especially those of us who enjoy courtroom dramas. The personal story is classic in the Jezebel aspect however I enjoyed it being written by the lawyer's point of view and conflict. Many twists and turns and a fabulous ending.

Another excellent book by Adam Mitzner.  Has many plot turns that will keep you guessing up until the very end.  Well written thriller with detail paid to character development and keeping the reader at the edge of their seat.  Highly recommended for all fiction readers.  Great summer read!

Russell Blake's latest addition to his already outstanding arsenal, The Voynich Cypher, is just another testament to why he has become a favorite author of many. Each of his titles have been different in their subject matter, different in their plots, and different in their overall writing style. However, all of them have been stupendous in keeping you engaged, entertained, and in the end a little more educated. Blake is superb in his research and keeping the book realistic, while taking your mind on a journey through possibilities that most of us don't look for.

The Voyinch Cypher easily lives up to the standards Blake's previous books have created. In the spirit of titles such as The DaVinci Code and National Treasure, Blake takes us on a journey of what if. What if there are secret societies associated with the church? What if there are buried secrets out there that people in power didn't want getting out? What if people with money decided they want the power of these secrets?

Dr. Steven Cross soon finds out as an innocent letter he penned drags him into a life-altering adventure. "When a sacred relic is stolen from its subterranean guarded vault, Dr. Steven Cross, amateur cryptologist, becomes embroiled in a deadly quest to decipher one of history's most enigmatic documents - a 15th century parchment written entirely in unbreakable code; The Voynich Manuscript. Stalked by secret societies, and aided by the daughter of a murdered colleague, a trail of riddles catapults Cross from England to Italy to the Middle East, where a Byzantine web of ancient secrets leads him to a revelation so profound it will change the world order."  (Author's synopsis).

Blake masterfully spins the story painting vivid pictures in your mind, while not blustering on forever over the minutiae that many authors get caught up on. You know, those moments of "Yes, I understand we're in the wood with lots of trees and lots of leaves. How long does this go on? *Flipping pages* Oh, here we are 3 pages later, now I can get on with the story." Whether a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat thriller, a non-fictional tribute to a lost pet, or a methodical, well-plotted quest, Blake never fails to thrill the reader with his stories.

*Disclosure: I received this book for free in exchange for a review*
