Reviews
The Killing Lessons by Saul Black "Do not read this. No reader deserves to be terrified like this" - Linwood Barclay
Season of Fear by Brian Freeman "Brian Freeman's Season of Fear is so masterfully developed you can almost feel the intensity of the tropical storm as it overwhelms the locale and directly affects the characters' actions. This adds a significant element to the already suspenseful plot, providing an edge-of-the-seat, nail-biting reading experience with an exhilarating conclusion." - Fresh Fiction
Her by Harriet Lane "The end is perfectly executed, leaving you at the most excruciating moment possible—when a horrible thing is about to happen and there is nothing you, or any of characters, can do to stop it, save read as fast as you can until the words run out at that last, crucial moment." – Oprah.com
Ty Cobb by Charles Leerhsen "Superbly reported, wonderfully written and often quite funny, Charles Leerhsen's Ty Cobb: A Terrible Beauty, is a highly enlightening and highly enjoyable book… a first-rate book by a first-rate writer." - Kostya Kennedy, author of 56: Joe DiMaggio and the Last Magic Number in Sports (NF)
Quite a Good Time To Be Born by David Lodge "What one takes away from this half-memoir is the self-portrait of an extraordinarily good, wrongly modest man; a distinguished scholar, and one of the finest of current novelists." - John Sutherland, The Spectator (NF)
The Real Thing by Elle McCarthy "A comforting, realistic, and endearing portrait of modern relationships." - Publishers Weekly (NF)
The Year of Reading Dangerously by Andy Miller "An inimitable memoir … triumphantly justified … Like nothing else I have ever read – a combination of criticism and memoir that is astute, tender, funny and often wickedly ironic.’" - Peter Conrad, Observer (NF)
Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty "It's a hell of a good book. Funny and scary. She nails the feuding moms." - Stephen King
Love and Other Ways of Dying by Michael Paterniti “Love and Other Ways of Dying is the book you’re looking for, I promise: a fearless, spellbinding collection of inquiries by a brilliant, globally minded essayist whose writing is magic and whose worldview brims with compassion.... Devastating and hopeful.” - Anthony Doerr, author of All the Light We Cannot See (NF)
Our Kids by Robert D. Putnam “Robert D. Putnam is technically a Harvard social scientist, but a better description might be poet laureate of civil society. In Our Kids, Putnam brings his talent for launching a high-level discussion to a timely topic – the state of upward mobility.” - Jason DeParle, The New York Times Book Review (NF)
Becoming Steve Jobs by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli "This is the book about Steve Jobs that the world deserves." - John Gruber, daringfireball.com
