I am a collector of gaffe quotations and I truly appreciate the effort composing this book required. The changes such punctuation brings to a notice or a menu item can be really hilarious. This book is a fine time passer and a great gift item.

Larsson has been hailed as "the new international king of mystery thrillers" and the title is well deserved. This novel grips your interest and does not let go. His characters are amazingly drawn...believable and ingratiating. His pace is relentless and engrossing. His setting and plot engage the imagination in a most satisfying way. Reading Larsson is a quick, very enjoyable escape fraught with thrills and danger.

This debut novel is a completely different piece of work. Its protagonist, an autistic 9 year boy whi is a math prodigy, is incapable of feeling emotion. His reactions to events are so completely his own, so matter of fact and bloodless as to be unnatural; compared with normal kids, he is an enigma. The book held me totally in thrall, none of my conclusions or predictions held true. I heartily recommend this book to the reader looking for a novel that offers a very different point of view.

The subtle indication of support for Euthanasia was one of the most interesting twists in this very entertaining book.Moore never fails to satisfy his readers.

This perhaps the most accessible of the many books ever written about both the craft of writing and the life of a writer. The immediacy of King's prose is as evident here as in any of his novels or short stories; the clarity of his vision every bit as precise. This book is a classic, meant to be savored and re-read.
