(11/06/07) With each of his #1 New York Times bestsellers, Dean Koontz has displayed an unparalleled ability to entertain and enlighten readers with novels that capture the essence of our times even as they bring us to the edge of our seats. Now he delivers a heart-gripping tour de force he’s been waiting years to write, at once a love story, a thrilling adventure, and a masterwork of suspense that redefines the boundaries of primal fear–and of enduring devotion. Amy Redwing has dedicated her life to the southern California organization she founded to rescue abandoned and endangered golden retrievers. Among dog lovers, she’s a legend for the risks she’ll take to save an animal from abuse. Among her friends, Amy’s heedless devotion is often cause for concern. To widower Brian McCarthy, whose commitment she can’t allow herself to return, Amy’s behavior is far more puzzling and hides a shattering secret. No one is surprised when Amy risks her life to save Nickie, nor when she takes the female golden... See less

(07/10/07) Almost everyone who has attended college in the U.S. over the last few hundred years has heard of the Skull and Bones Society at Yale University, although they may not know much about it as it is veiled in deliberate secrecy. This book unmasks its hidden history and reveals much about its members in an entertaining and thorough manner. Robbins is a graduate of Yale and a member of another of its secret societies. She has written for the New Yorker magazine and been on its staff. Her research skills are evident in this meticulous history of the most famous college society that has had multiple presidents, Supreme Court Justices and famous businessmen as its members. She is as brutally frank about its silly rituals as she is about the powerful networking influence it has had in politics and business. Since our current president is a member of Skull and Bones, as are his father and numerous family members, this expose is especially revealing about the impact such a society has on our... See less

(07/10/07) I got a good giggle out of this one, but wasn't completely offended by it of anything. Read this if you want to be entertained and informed of the narrow (and most likely exaggerated) experiences of four girls. Then go and learn about Greek life in general if you want to know what it is like. However.... you can never know what it is truely like until it is experienced first hand. You might know someone who will try to explain it to you, but they could never full succeed. It was meant to be like that, they are after all still considered secret societies..... if everyone knew the specifics where would the magic of it all go? ~DON'T! use this book to understand Greek life as a whole and Don't use this to determine if you will go Greek, AND don't use it as a justification for why you are glad you didn't!.... that's just not very fair, aiy? but... it was still a good giggle for someone who is on the inside...

(07/10/07) Joe Simpson and his climbing partner, Simon Yates, had just reached the top of a 21,000-foot peak in the Andes when disaster struck. Simpson plunged off the vertical face of an ice ledge, breaking his leg. In the hours that followed, darkness fell and a blizzard raged as Yates tried to lower his friend to safety. Finally, Yates was forced to cut the rope, moments before he would have been pulled to his own death. The next three days were an impossibly grueling ordeal for both men. Yates, certain that Simpson was dead, returned to base camp consumed with grief and guilt over abandoning him. Miraculously, Simpson had survived the fall, but crippled, starving, and severely frostbitten was trapped in a deep crevasse. Summoning vast reserves of physical and spiritual strength, Simpson crawled over the cliffs and canyons of the Andes, reaching base camp hours before Yates had planned to leave. How both men overcame the torments of those harrowing days is an epic tale of fear, suffering, and... See less

(07/10/07) I had been looking forward to this book for a long time. I enjoyed Elena Estes in Dark Horse and was looking forward to getting reacquainted with her character. In Alibi Man I enjoyed the fast pace, the insights into the world of the wealthy, and the very well written characters. The plot twists were well done and I loved the surprises that came to the reader towards the end. It was interesting to see insights into Elena's past, and how her struggles in past relationships have molded Elena into someone who can be cynical and doesn't trust easily. As in the first book, the reader gets a glimpse of the softer side of Elena who will stop at nothing to get to the truth for people that she cares about. I also appreciated the struggles in her relationship with Detective Landry. During their struggles, they both learned a lot about each other's character. I would love for Tami Hoag to continue with this character and give us more books about Elena. Well done. See less

(07/10/07) When a horrifying attack leaves one of the four members of the Women's Murder Club struggling for her life, the others fight to keep a madman behind bars before anyone else is hurt. And Lindsay Boxer and her new partner in the San Francisco police department run flat-out to stop a series of kidnappings that has electrified the city: children are being plucked off the streets together with their nannies-- but the kidnappers aren't demanding ransom. Amid uncertainty and rising panic, Lindsay juggles the possibility of a new love with an unsolvable investigation, and the knowledge that one member of the club could be on the brink of death. And just when everything appears momentarily under control, the case takes a terrifying turn, putting an entire city in lethal danger. Lindsay must make a choice she never dreamed she'd face--with no certainty that either outcome has more than a prayer of success. See less

(07/02/07) Nostalgia, entertainment and humor are possible side effects of listening to this audiobook. Burroughs delivers a slew of reflections about both serious and mundane aspects of his life. His style of delivery fluctuates from piece to piece so one is never sure what the theme or moral is until he finishes. When he's not highlighting the idiosyncrasies of humanity or his own eccentricities, he romanticizes life in New York City, plots John Updike's death and expounds upon the love of his partner or pets. Though his performance keeps listener's attention, it's far from stellar. He fluctuates with character accents. He voices all of his women in the same tone and quality. His overemphasis with expletives often detracts because it's not usually necessary; expletives will stand out on their own. His youthful voice does help legitimate the stories in that the experiences shared need vibrancy to imply truthfulness. Light and endearing with the occasional somber thought, this audiobook takes...

(07/02/07) Countless fans agree with Iris Johansen, who says "Linda Howard is a superbly original storyteller." Romantic Times raves: "There is nothing quite like a sexy and suspenseful story by the amazing Linda Howard." Chicago Tribune notes "her genius at blending suspense and romance." And the Fort Worth Star-Telegram declares "for a solid dose of suspense it's hard to beat Linda Howard's books." Now the New York Times bestselling author Linda Howard is back. In Up Close and Dangerous, she brilliantly blends action, intrigue, and emotion into a thrilling novel that will keep listeners breathless. But be careful. In Linda Howard's world, trust can be a weapon, a kiss can be a threat, and intimacy can be deadly. See less

(07/02/07) It is just a typical hot, boring day at work when landscape gardener Mitch Rafferty receives an unexpected call on his cell phone from his wife, Holly. She does not sound like herself, an impression reinforced when a man's voice interrupts to tell Mitch that Holly has been kidnapped and that he has only sixty hours in which to raise two million dollars to ransom her. He allows no questions, offers no explanations, and most important, demands no police involvement or Holly will die. Just to be sure that Mitch gets the point, the caller directs Mitch's attention to a man walking a dog across the street, and Mitch watches in horror as the dog walker is shot by a sniper. Mitch is now a believer, but where in the world is a gardener supposed to come up with that kind of cash? The story proceeds at a breakneck pace, piling twists upon twists as Koontz shows why Mitch and Holly have been chosen for this extortion, how Mitch's family background and history has influenced the kidnapping, and...
