From the Corner of His Eye by Dean R Koontz

smilesndeed, March 30, 2013

Long full complex novel. It will be a slow read, please don't try to skim though it, it won't make seem at all.
Koontz fills up many pages with intriguing and believable conversations between all these characters. Though many characters seem to overlap and to interchange too often to want to re-read it. At its length I felt the ending could have been so much better.

Just After Sunset: Stories by Stephen King

smilesndeed, February 3, 2013

Plenty of good short stories in this book to enjoy. The range of the material is pretty fascinating, how King continues to spin such tales in developing characters that the reader wants to follow allow is mesmerizing. Most of the short stories finish even as the reader desires more and more. Reading this gem quickly shows us why King is a pro at this sub-genre. Worth the money to get here online at powells.com, worth it for sure.

Killing Lincoln: The Shocking Assassination That Changed America Forever (Large Print) by Bill O'reilly

smilesndeed, January 1, 2013

Without a doubt the very best book I was able to read in 2012.

This emotional roller coaster of a read, kept me turning pages and wanting so much more from these historians and authors. The book is written with an unrelenting focus on the terrible events that lead up to and develop in the minds and lives of those involved.

You will not be able to put it down, I held it for two days straight, apologizing to the ones around me, for not paying attention to them but remaining engrossed in this superb historic work.
