Book Review: Sprung (Book 1 of 150)

Note: I was assigned to review Laura Madeline Wiseman's Sprung for a newsletter. I figured it still counted for this project. Book 1 down! As a reader, I love authors that make me work a little to truly understand their material. Drive me to the dictionary to learn an obscure word. Inspire me to use... Sign in to see full entry.

Question of the Week: Why the belief only gov. can make & enforce regs?

I have been wanting to comment on this issue since I posted a discussion on another site about gun control. Everyone who responded seemed to think I was just another person wanting to give the government more control over who owns what sort of guns. While I admit that with all this shooting madness...

Novella Review: Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box

If I had been more successful in my reading challenge for 2011 you all would've heard me rave about Mira Grant's Newsflesh trilogy, but by the time I read the first two books I had long since given up posting reviews. But I devoured the books. When I found out that there was a story not set in the... Sign in to see full entry.

Choromosome 6 (Book 12 of 150)

On Chromosome 6 is yet another Robin Cook book featuring Jack Stapleton and Laurie Montgomery. As I am reading the series of these two characters out of order is a little hard to keep track of everything. In this story, they are just barely beginning to start dating again after one of their typical... Sign in to see full entry.

Fool Moon (Book 11 out of 150)

I finally got the second book in the Dresden Files. After a lot of problems with Overdrive Media, I listened to the whole tale in two days. Harry is not doing so well as the book opens.

Crisis (Book 10 of 150)

Crisis by Robin Cook is yet another story of Jack Stapleton and his writings think we will came to terms ever suffering wife (although in this book she hadn't assumed that role yet), Laurie Montgomery. If I were writing this book I think I would've called it A Tale of Two Doctors. I know it's... Sign in to see full entry.

Death Benefit (book 9 of 150)

Death Benefit By Robin Cook is, I think, the sort of Robin Cook book that my housemate warned me about. As many of you know, I have medicalized truma from too many bad surgeries and labcoats that thought they were doctors. This book did play into that fear but it was the insurance people who are...

Critical (Book 8 of 150)

I liked Robin Cook’s main character medical examiner Jack Stapleton and his wife Laurie. So I was happy to encounter him again in Critical. This time medical examiner Jack tears his ACL, bad for basketball player and bicyclist Jack. Jack can’t endure being injured. So he schedules his surgery right... Sign in to see full entry.
