Your Heart Belongs to Me by Dean Koontz

Your Heart Belongs to Me by Dean Koontz

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Ryan heart has failed and at 34 he has found himself on a waiting list for a new one. Impatience for life gets the better of him and he searches for a new doctor. Dr. Hobbs finds him a heart in record time and the transplant is a success. A year later things begin to happen to him that make him wonder if it was all worth it. This is a book filled with love suspense, danger and a little Poe thrown in for good measure.


This is not my favorite Dean Koontz book but it is not bad either. I think that it was a little slow on the upstart but the ending was fast paced and well worth the reading of the rest of it. The subtext of this book is that you can't buy life you just have to live it and let it be as it should be. I would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy, romance, horror, and drama. I bought this book from a used book store.

With the Tide by Mary Bright Carr

With the Tide by Mary Bright Carr

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


When I write a review about about a book I normally start by telling the, would be reader what the book is about. Then I state my opinion on the book and whether or not I would recommend it as a worth while read.
For this book, I have to break that format because frankly after reading this 217 page book I have no Idea what it is about. I was lost from page one on! This book is a list of sentences that have nothing to do with one another. I give this book a 1 out of 10 and I hope that this pre-reader copy gets a big edit before it hits the press for real. I think that it could be a good book if it had some sort of flow, direction, plot, or point but it bounces all over the place leaving you dumbfounded.

The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory

The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book is a Historical fiction of Queen Elizabeth I and her lover. I find that in historical fictions the names of the people get in the way. I think that this is the case with this book the beginning of this book dragged a bit while everyone was being introduced. The ending was good however and worth the read.

This is a Historical fiction of the Holy War between Egyptians and Arabs in Cairo during 1884. I think that this book was well written at first I was apprehensive about this book because the description on the back does not do it justice. The love scenes are a bit redundant but this does not affected the enjoyment of this book.

Sundays at Tiffany's

Sundays at Tiffany's by James Patterson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Almost, every kid has an imaginary friend Jane Margaux is no exception her special pal is Michael. One of their favorite things to do is eat sundaes at Tiffiany's, when her busy mother takes her out, for their weekly trip to admire the jewelry. This was not to last however because Jane was turning nine and Michael had to leave he didn't want to that was just the unwritten rule of being an imaginary friend. He told Jane that it would be alright because she would soon forget him. The thing is that she didn't she just loved him to much to let him go. Now she is all grown up and still likes to eat sundaes at Tiffiany's one day she happens to run into her old dear friend Michael. They pick up their relationship right were they left it and something extraordinary happens.

I have to say that I loved this book from beginning to end. Since I had a rough childhood I had many imaginary friends a whole city in fact. Many a times I wished that they would all be could be real so that I felt less alone. This book is about the power of love and how it can make the impossible possible. I would recommend it to anyone who likes romance, and drama, or had an imaginary friend when they were little.

Stolen Lives: Twenty Years in a Desert Jail by Malika Oufkir

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book is a Documentary about the life of Malika Oufkir her father was the General for the king. The king even adopted her when she was little. Then her father turned against the king and was excited for treason. The king then imprisoned his entire family for twenty years until they escaped to France. I really liked this book it is all about how politics can crush humanity. This book shows that even if you are put through the worst time of your life your family is the most important thing in it. I also liked that while she was imprisoned she wrote stories to stay alive and to keep her family alive as a writer this was very moving. I give it a 4 out of 5 it flows well and is worth the read.

The Shack by William P. Young

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This book is about a man finds himself through learning to let go of a great loss and he finds a way to live again. I think that this is one of the best books I have read in a while. This is a must read for every one but not for the faint of heart as there is a great tragedy in it.



Update I after looking at the other reviews of this book I want to add the fallowing:

Well according to the other reviews on this book you will either love it or hate it. I personally thought that it was very well written everyone who gave it poor stars over analyzed it. Since it had God in it they wanted it to read like the bible. It is a work of fiction and should be approached as such.

Odd Thomas Dean Koontz

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is a wonderful book and the best review I can give it is a line from a book itself.
"I see dead people but by golly I do something about it!" Odd Thomas
If you like mystery, Spence, and Ghosts, with a bit of hummer thrown in this is a book for you. A must read for all old and new and old Dean Koontz fan


On a side note I hate that authors have to be labeled. Dean Koontz is labeled horror but I would not really classify Odd Thomas Horror and a lot of people are not reading it because they think that it is horror. Granted there is death in there shooting and stabbings but it is not really gory or over the top. The Odd Thomas series is very funny. If you don't like Horror then don't read Intensity but if you like a good amount of humor and can stand a few shootings then Odd Thomas is for you.

This book is about a woman finds a secret in a nineteenth- century family members journal that affects her whole family. I think that this was a decent book the only problem was that there was allot of filler before you got to the real meet of the book. It is a must reed for all new mothers though. It is all about God loving his children and everyone is special even if they have genetic problems.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Glory By Devin O'Branagan
Love, Hate, Life, Death,and Faith, these are words that we all take for granted every day, yet they seem to be what holds the fabric of the universe together. This book is about a young girl who finds that each one of those words are more than just words they are power. When Glory finds out that she is the cure for a deadly plague she is thrown into a world she only thought existed in the movies. With the help of some very unconventional friends she finds herself in a deadly race to save all of humanity. I found this book to be very enjoyable and well worth the read because it was filled with love, loss, and passion. It is not like any other book that I have read of this kind and should not be treated as such just because of the subject matter or characters in it. This book is all about the the power of Faith and should be approached that way.

The Earthsea Trilogy by Ursula K. LeGuin

The Earthsea Trilogy: A Wizard of Earthsea; The Tombs of Atuan; The Farthest Shore by Ursula K. Le Guin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Book One - A Wizard of Earthsea
This is about a young man's journey from a lonely poor boy to a wizard of legend. I think This little adventure is well written. It is about the way pride and envy can make you loose yourself. This is one man's quest to find it again before it destroys him forever Just like any quest it is full of adventure, joy and pearl.

The moral of it all being to face your fear head on and beat it before it beats you. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy especially young adults.

Book Two- The Tombs of Atuan
At age five a young girl is taken from her family and is striped of everything including her name. Her job is to be the High priestess to the ancient and nameless powers of the earth. Her whole existence is changed however when she meets a thief who has come to claim a treasure that was long since lost.

I think that this book is about the dangers of major organizations that have to much power and how they can take everything away from you. Then blind you from the reality of what is really important Love!
A quote from the book says it best
"What she had begun to learn was the weight of liberty. Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice maybe a hard one. The road goes upward towards the light but the laden traveler may never reach the end of it." © Page 141 in the book The Tombs of Autan by Ursula K. Le Guin
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy especially young adults.



Book Three- The Farthest Shore
In the beginning of this book a boy fallows a wizard on a quest to find what has gone wrong with the world. In the end the Wizard fallows the man to his destiny. This book is about the circle of life and the balance between good and evil. Everything that lives must die and everything that dies must live first. That is the way of the world. I think that this book was a good summery of all that one has learned from the other books. That you have to live and do what you love because that is what holds the world together. Balance and order are accomplished by the the opposites of Life, Death, Hate and love.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy especially young adults.


As a whole this Trilogy is a fantasy twist of the truths of reality. They all are worth the read for young and old alike.

3rd Degree by James Patterson

3rd Degree by James Patterson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is the third book in the Women's Murder club series. It starts out with the now well known Lindsay Boxer diving into a burring town house and ends with a bang. I was afraid that this book would lack some of the flare that the other two did, but the plot was new and fresh and filled with triumph and tragedy. I did find, however that this book lacked the red haring twist that drew me into the other books. I think that the political satire theme thought the book did not really lend itself to that and might have detracted from the plot. I would recommend it as a good read and look forward to the others in the group. This book was lent to me from the library of Me-Me thanks again.

1st to Die by James Patterson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


What do you get when you put together the Police Homicide Inspector Lindsay Boxer, the Medical Examiner Clair, the Assistant DA Jill and the Chronicle Reporter Cindy? The Woman's Murder club of coarse. This is about a group of professional ladies that normally wouldn't have anything to do with each other out side of their normal duties. Putting their combined knowledge and friendship together in a off duty effort to salve unusual crimes. I give this book an 8 out of 10 in my opinion it had good flow and I enjoy the character layout of Lindsay Boxer. I did however think that the hook of the book was not, executed very well. It seemed to loose the idea of being a mystery novel. When it became an introduction to the Woman's Murder club book, instead. I think that this book is well worth the read and look forward to the continuation of the series now that the introductions are all out of the way. I borrowed this book from my Mother-in-law while I am held up at her house thanks MeMe

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


In this book we are once again transported in to the dramatic life of Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer. This time around she is faced with a battle for her reputation as a cop and an unknown predator who doesn't like how close Lindsay is getting to the truth.

This is the 4th book in the Woman's Murder club Series but it has not lost its allure or readability. I love the way that it always keeps you guessing exactly who did what right up till the very last page. The most obvious choice is not always the right one and many times it takes a dramatic turn sending you for a loop. I would highly recommend this book and the previous ones in this series to anyone who likes cop drama mysteries. I give it a four out of five stars.

Conspiracy by Jasmine Cresswell

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


his book is about Verity Marlowe. After the death of her husband she falls in a downward spiral of alcoholism and self-pity. Until one day a funny encounter with someone from her past shakes her loose from her stupor. Just in time to get back to work and save her country and her childhood friend. He and his family are in trouble and she is the only one who speaks his language. She rushes to his aid only to find that the other agent in charge of the whole thing is Michael Strait. To her shock she realizes that the simple truths that she knew about him were really well crafted lies. Can she forgive him enough to save a country and herself.

This book clearly suffers form back of the box syndrome sometimes I wonder if the person who writes the synopsis on the back flap really reads the book at all. At first glace I thought that this book was just another run of the mill anti-terrorist book. This is not the case however it is a very delightful book filled with funny lines romantic scenes and a bit of a twist. I would recommend this book it is well worth the read and I give it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Witch Hunt by Devin_O_Branagan

Witch Hunt by Devin O'Branagan

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


In this book you live and suffer with several generations of the Hawthorne family, as they battle with persecution, exile and execution, that ends in a modern day massacre. This travesty is created and led by one man who has the power to motivate the masses to condemn what they didn't understand. It really makes you wonder how far people will truly go to prove that their religion is the best.

Since the very beginning of time, the human race has tried to interpret, enforce and follow Gods law. They have instead, distorted, abused, and, disobeyed it for their own spiritual gain. This horrible reality has not improved at all over the centuries even though we claim to be more civilized. For some reason people are driven to exterminate anything that they don't understand in the name of their religion even if innocent lives are harmed in the process. This book reminds us that faith can be a very powerful thing for both good and evil and how you use that faith defines you as a person.
I think that this book is well worth the read and I would recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy, romance, and historical fiction.

Dabblings: A Journey of Horror and Hope by Steve James

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


When Heather finds out that her family is not all they appear to be, she is forced to chose between the truth that she knows it right and the loyalty that she feels toward her family. Throughout this book her faith is put to the test and she has rely on Gods love to get her through. I got this book from a Christian magazine when my friend told me that my previous reading material was not religious enough. I told her that you can find God in anything even if they don't come out and say “GOD” in the text. It was extremely funny when it arrived and I opened the front cover and found a whole page of warnings. It stressed that this book was not for the faint of heart because it contained explicit and graphic images. I found that these images were just as intense if not more than the books that I had already been reading further emphasizing my point. That said, since this book is really about faith, I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes fantasy, horror, mystery and the battle between good and evil. I would however heed the warnings and avoid it if you can't separate fiction from reality.

My rating: 1 of 5 stars


Please note that before you read any more of this review that it does contain a spoiler this is done for a very good reason to save you the effort of reading this book all together. This book is about a man who gets high on drugs then he dresses like a Mountain Goat from head to foot (yes I said Mountain Goat) and goes into the wilderness where he gets eaten by a pack of wolves. From what I can tell the author of this book was trying to portray the power of the wilderness but it was lost in the stupor of a dug induced banter that made no sense at all. Please do not read this book do not recommend it to friends and if you happen upon it walk away quickly so that you are not tempted to even pick it up. I got this book out of a free bin and now I know why it was there.

Mistress of Molecules By Gerald M. Weinberg

What will life be like in the future? In this book we are living on colonies all over the universe each place is different but the goal is the same to survive. Libra is trying to do just that and make her little corner of the universe a little better for others in the process. She is a young chemist who like her father has set out to defeat the rule of the church and free the people of Precursor. She does this by creating chemicals that cause confusion and delays. Her efforts are misguided but noble and continue until she meets the very alien who is sent to stop her.

I really enjoyed this book even though it represents a fictional, futuristic place the atmosphere felt real. I liked the diverse characters and the interaction between them. The subtext of this book is that people with power always seem to forget about the welfare of the people they are there to protect. It is well worth the read and I would recommend it to any one who likes science fiction, romance and drama.
