Comments: An even better novel than "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". This second in the series of three starts out much stronger that the first and continues strong to the end. A very interesting read and another great novel that has you wanting to turn the page. Get more information on the background of Lisbeth Salander and her struggle to prover her innocence in this excellent story. The only problem with reading this novel right now is you'll want to get the third in the series right away, and it's not due out until May of 2010.

Comments: If you have read Angels and Demons and The DaVinci Code, this book is a rinse and repeat. Using the same exact model as his previous two best sellers, Dan Brown again writes an interesting, albeit a bit predictable, novel about hunting some mythical lost treasure. The model is played and the style is overdone (by both Brown and others); however the book is interesting, intriguing and most of all fun. I enjoyed the read despite the lack of originality.

Comments: A young girl disappears on an island while the only road off the island is blocked. An interesting cast of characters and a fabulous plot in this wonderful who done it novel. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a gripping read and who done it.

Comments: AWFUL! I waited YEARS for the completion of this series and was horribly disappointed. Koontz appears to have gotten tired of the constant badgering about the book and put out pure trash just to get it done. I will be hard pressed to read another Koontz novel because of this experience.

Comments: Ok. This one got quite a bit far fetched. I felt like Stephenie didn't think through how this thing was going to end until it was too late. The novel and overall series was still excellent, but this book was a touch too out there for me. It did resolve all plot points well and was still a decent read.

Comments: The merging of the two and the realization that all is not great in this love triangle. The series continues strong.

Comments: Book two was just as good as the first in the series. The second love interest adds a nice counter to the Edward's style and grace.

Comments: What more is there really to say about this book. The target audience was originally teen girls, but it has since transcended audiences and has become a very popular book. While the writing wasn't the best I've ever seen, and from a male perspective the "love fest" could have been toned down. The plot was indeed gripping and kept my interest throughout. This is a good read even for the non intended target audience.

Comments: Koontz picked up a co-author for this installment and managed to keep the series interesting and fun. The danger and suspense was there and had me anxiously awaiting the last book of the series.

Comments: I picked up this book man years ago while traveling in the airport. I was instantly hooked. The main characters were well thought out and the book was a basic, yet engrossing read.
