The Forbidden DOor

Post by Chelle934 »

I had started to read The Forbidden Door by Dean Koontz. I like his style of writing, however this is a book that I will have to wait to finish reading. So far the book is good and interesting, however I realized 3 chapters in that I was a little confused. Turns out this book is a series. I would still reccomend this series however.

Not sure how many like horror but i recommend RICHARD LAYMON. I use to be in a book club where I got books a month for 5.99. It was great. And I got a Richard LAYMON book called endless night. It caught my attention right away and I couldn't put it down, I couldn't really get into any other author they sent, my husband read them but i just couldn't wait to get the next LAYMON book. I was never disappointed. I read everything he had wrote up to that point. Now I'm on my crime mysteries so I'm probably so behind on LAYMON, but I will catch up one day.

Latest Review: The Crystilleries of Echoland by Dew Pellucid

Post by CinWin »

I am reading Justin Cronin's series that consist of The Passage, The Twelve and The City of Mirrors. It is about the end of the world, complete with vampires, much violence and a lot of love. I would recommend these to everyone that likes those types of characters. I am in the middle of the last book so I must leave you now to finish it!

Ann Rule has always been a favorite of mine. She has an impressive number of books under her belt, each well researched and entertaining. The last one I read was "The Stranger Beside Me" which gives an in-depth account of her strange acquaintance with serial killer Ted Bundy; for anyone with any interest in real life crime stories, this one is a must.

Latest Review: Sherlock and I A Memoir of Medical Mysteries in a US Rural Practice by Frederick Kassis, MD

Post by Swat3737 »

speechless wrote: 27 Jun 2009, 17:11 I just read a book called Mean Martin Manning by Scott Stein. It's one of the best, most entertaining books I've read in a while. It's about a man who just wants to be alone, but the government forces him into a "rehabilitation" program because he's living a supposedly unhealthy lifestyle. Manning has to find a way to escape, as he is constantly surrounded by guards. When he does, he's all about revenge.

This book is very comedic, but it's also very thrilling. I recommend it to EVERYONE.
Thanks for the recommendation, this sounds amazing! Just added it to my list :) but looks like it's not available on Amazon Kindle Store, i'll have to research

gutter83 wrote: 29 Jun 2018, 16:53 On What Grounds is the first book in the series a coffeehouse mystery written by Cleo Coyle, a pen name for Alice Alfonsi. This book has a story line with twist and turns that are definitely a 'keep you on your toes' page-turner.

When a death at a coffee shop happens that looks like just an accident, also has three suspects with motives to want to kill, and a coffee shop co-owner who will stop at nothing to find out who the killer is not only for justice, but to save the coffee shop, things get a little chaotic.

By far one of my favorite crime/mystery books I have read. Definitely recommend!
Having worked in coffee for 18 years, I am very excited about this book! Thanks for the recommendation, it's added to my list!
