Historia
No one but Stephen King could tell this story about the darkness at the heart of the unknown and our compulsion to investigate the unexplained. With echoes of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon and the work of Graham Greene, one of the world's great storytellers presents a surprising tale that explores the nature of mystery itself.

This story moves so well. A real home spun flavor on this book from the King. Although short, the characters have enough substance to carry a whole series or atleast a thick novel.
The authentic as hell narration shoots the material into the stratosphere. Double A plus.

Fun at times!!
Revisado: 01-13-21
I understand the popularity of the book. Fun premise, well written, and solid characters. The story quickly takes shape and has some nice action to it. Around halfway through though, I feel like it bogs down in its own willy nilly sense of humor and the story loses momentum. Not sure what to think.

Gives New Meaning to Heartfelt.
Revisado: 11-15-20
Every page makes you feel something. I'm not one to read books that make me feel bored. If a book leaves me feeling lukewarm, I often times just set it down. I even put down good books soemtimes. This Crapalachia story never even gave me a chance to THINK about setting it down.
Plus the narration was perfect. Matched the tone so well. Read with real emotion.

Historia
After a bizarre and disturbing incident at the funeral of matriarch Marian Savage, the McCray and Savage families look forward to a restful and relaxing summer at Beldame, on Alabama's Gulf Coast, where three Victorian houses loom over the shimmering beach. Two of the houses are habitable, while the third is slowly and mysteriously being buried beneath an enormous dune of blindingly white sand. But though long uninhabited, the third house is not empty. Inside, something deadly lies in wait.

Revisado: 10-27-20
Every word in the book paints a cinematic image. It all flows so easily. The Elementals has a natural, conversational tone. Engaging from start to finish with no empty spots. I can't recommend this book enough. The narrator helps things along as well, with just enough variance in his voice to allow each and every character to come alive without making it a cartoonish performance. Bravo!!!

In the mid-70s, Steve Martin exploded onto the comedy scene. By 1978 he was the biggest concert draw in the history of stand-up. In 1981 he quit forever. Born Standing Up is, in his own words, the story of "why I did stand-up and why I walked away".

Just an absolutely classic novel. There's not a sentence that isn't enthralling. A family history told in the best and most unique way. All parts relevant to the core story. Entertaining, vivid, and assuring.

Historia
The Great War changed everything and everyone, and Larry Darrell is no exception. Though his physical wounds from the war heal, his spirit is changed almost beyond recognition. He leaves his betrothed, the beautiful and devoted Isabel; studies philosophy and religion in Paris; lives as a monk, and witnesses the exotic hardships of Spanish life. All of life that he can find - from an Indian Ashrama to labor in a coal mine - becomes Larry's spiritual experiment as he spurns the comfort and privilege of the Roaring 20s.

Good ol Larry.
Revisado: 12-12-16
Good character study. An in depth look at several different personalities and what they represent. Entertaining and well written. However, each character seems to lack dimension. For instance, Larry seems near perfect. Isabelle is skin deep. Grey is kind but simple. Real folks are a tad more complicated. Often times just one human could take on all the traits mentioned above. For the purpose of telling the story however, it works fine. I'd recommend it.

Moments of Perfection.
Revisado: 02-29-16
The Killer Next Door is one of those strange books that after having read the title, you expect a basic and somewhat typical mystery type book. The story actually runs fairly deep and has loads of good character back story. It's also creepy and disgusting. There are a few moments where the eeriness of the whole book is penetrating and powerfully written. Otherwise it's just solid.

Historia
A millennium into the future two advancements have altered the course of human history: the colonization of the galaxy and the creation of the positronic brain. Isaac Asimov's Robot novels chronicle the unlikely partnership between a New York City detective and a humanoid robot who must learn to work together. Like most people left behind on an over-populated Earth, New York City police detective Elijah Baley had little love for either the arrogant Spacers or their robotic companions.
