Harris delivers again

Revisado: 12-08-20

Robert Harris is one of the best historical fiction writers today and he delivers again. The twin stories of the German scientist and the British WAC officer is nuanced and gripping. Though we know how this story ends, Harris never rushes and keeps the characters real. His portrayal of VonBraun is delicious.

Fantastic

Revisado: 09-23-20

a fantastic mystery set in Norway during a blizzard with everyone trapped inside a hotel. the key for me was the woman who uncovered the mystery was restricted to a wheelchair . the there are not many stories where the heroine is is a disabled person. as someone who has a disability, I was very much drawn to her ability to solve the mystery without ever having to move. a great story well read.

Turow hits it out of the park

Revisado: 05-22-20

Scott Turow tells a masterful story to tell the final chapter of Sandy Stern. No one is better than with a courtroom drama.

A history worth remembering

Revisado: 05-11-20

A incisive look at the two men who shaped the struggle for Black liberation that continues today. While we know much of King's story, we don't know Malcolm's as well. One of the strengths of the book is showing how they not only grew closer in their understanding of one another, but how King became more radicalized toward the end of his life, drawing much closer to Malcolm's beliefs. Tremendously researched well written.

Stirring Story

Revisado: 07-16-19

A great story about the founding of Marrietta, Ohio and the brave men and women who forged a civilization in early Ohio. As a native of the Buckeye state,I was particularly drawn to the Cutler's fight to make Ohio a Free State, and for their work to establish public education in Ohio. My one small criticism is McCullough's saying that the wilderness was unsettled, when in fact it was by the Shawnee,the Miami, and the Delaware.Otherwise a great resd.

Outstanding History

Revisado: 11-13-18

Nathaniel Philbrick concludes his masterful trilogy on Washington and the American Revolution with this stirring story of catching Cornwallis at Yorktown. He provides the in-depth description of our "French allies" and their almost reluctant help in defeating the British. Philbrick gives so much more than we learned in our history books. Outstanding story telling.

Riveting Story

Revisado: 08-03-17

This is my first Michael Connelly book but it will not be my last. The story of Renee Ballard and the LAPD investigating the club murders kept my attention from start to finish. Their are enough clues along the way to give some idea of where the case will end. Ballard is a very believable character as our most of thje others.

I could have done without the woman in bondage parrt; just once couldn't a male cop have that happen to them! That quibble aside, I hope to encounter officer Ballard in the future. A riveting story that never lets up.
