Having read 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' earlier this year, I couldn't WAIT for the next installment in Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy..
And WHAT a sequel!
Oh my god from the moment the story gets going you won't want to stop reading. I finished it in one weekend it, was that good!
In brief, Michael Blomkvist hasn't seen or heard from Lisbeth Salander since she disappered...
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
I LOVE this book.
I am currently living in sweden and the buzz around this book has been building for a while. My partner is swedish and a friend recomended this as a christmas present for him last year. As he spends 30 -45mins in the car every morning i bought it him on CD, needless to say i found him sitting outside in the car because he "didnt want to...
I read this without knowing a lot about it so wasn't influenced by anything. I found it a little slow to start with then got quite a surprise when it became obvious what the theme was. I am a christian and found the way the ideas about God were portrayed were very good - OK you might be able to argue here and there about the 'correctness' of some of it but the most important thing was that it gave...
I agree with the majority of the other reviewers, Patricia Cornwell is now back on track properly since 'The Last Precinct'. The characters are clear, the writing is understandable and for the majority of the time, believable. I really enjoyed this book and can't wait to find out what the next installment is like. I hope that Cornwell doesn't move them again, as she has done with her last few novels....
Given the astonishing length of the writing career of PD James (her first novel was published in 1962), it is perhaps not surprising that her work often consciously refers back to an earlier era of British crime writing -- but it's none-the worse for that. In fact, James' clever and affectionate reinventions of the devices and conventions of that era afford a particular pleasure -- as is the case with...
One of the problems with books written in a series - this being the third of (reportedly) four - is waiting for the next one to be published! After waiting for some twelve months for this one, and having read it within two days over the New Year, I am going to find it very difficult to wait for the final volume in this fascinating series. I just couldn't put this one down. By the author's own admission...
John Grisham is now an institution -- a writer whose bestselling status is assured, So assured, in fact, that expectations for each new book are as high as can be imagined. Does The Appeal make the grade? And will it appeal to Grisham admirers -- or disappoint them?
The stakes in the novel’s plot are high: corporate crime on the largest scale. The duo of lawyers at the centre of the narrative...
Big disappointment. The plot, particularly regarding the Wentworth family was very easy to work out. The pace of the novel is slow to say the least. The book is full of detail, perhaps too much. The time and place is evoked well but overwhelms the main story.
If you have any interest in medieval England, then this book is a must. Sansom interweves fictional and non fictional characters into a fictional and non fictional story line. I'm not going to give a brief explanation of the book's story line, that you can find anywhere on Amazon. Most, if not all of them, highly recommend this book. Just read the book and enjoy!!!!!
