Dispatch (Signet Novel) by Bentley Little
Dispatch (Signet Novel)

Tracy, September 5, 2009

Well, I definitely won't complain (when you read Dispatch, you will see how putting your complaints into writing can get you into deep, deep trouble!) Bentley Little is great, and the only thing that keeps me from giving Dispatch 5 stars is that it wasn't as great as his other novel "The Store". Now I have "The Ignored" on my shelf waiting to be read, and I'm sure I'll be ordering more Little books after that.

Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America by Barbara Ehrenreich
Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America

Tracy, June 6, 2009

Entertaining and very informative! Unfortunately I am one of the working poor at this time, but I'm fortunate in having it better than most of the people that the author meets in her experiment. This book has definitely motivated me to strive for better career opportunities.

The Store by Bentley Little

Tracy, April 17, 2009

Spooky, creepy, yet it felt realastic and thankfully wasn't grotesque. The characters and almost all of the storyline were completely believable. This was the best book that I have read in a long time. King and Koontz fans would enjoy Bentley Little.

Most Evil Women in History by Shelley Klein

Tracy, September 23, 2008

Read the background stories of some of the all-time most evil women in history and in modern times. A real page turner! Full of biographies of some very well known (and other less notorious names). I thought this reading material would last me a while, but I plowed through the pages in two days.

From the Corner of His Eye (Dean Koontz) by Dean R. Koontz
From the Corner of His Eye (Dean Koontz)

Tracy, July 16, 2008

Unforgettable! Dean Koontz is a great suspense writer, and I think From The Corner of His Eye was one of his best books!
