I just read and reviewed Tenderness of Wolves myself. Loved it! I'm going to give it for Christmas presents this year.

Sounds great, thanks Paula! I’ve always been fascinated by Anne Frank’s story so eventhough the “what if he had lived” idea seems a bit disturbing, I’l have to check this out.

Also noticed this book recently. The other review I read was considerably more lukewarm than yours. Looks intriguing regardless.

At no point in this review was it compared with The Time Traveler’s Wife. THe two books are completely different and the only person who mentioned TTTW at all was the above commenter!

Dead Run is truly a superb work. Reading it keeps my hair pricking!

I am a big chick-lit fan but would have to say that this is quite possibly the worst book I have ever read – and I read a lot. The plot is predictable but at the same time unbelievable. It is hard for the reader to form any kind of relationship with Rosie, the main character, as she is far too irritating to be likeable. To compare this book with ‘The Time Travellers Wife’ is, quite frankly, an insult.

Comment on Take A Girl Like Me by Amy Bohan with Jordan Paramor by Lauren

Lauren — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:56:30 +0000

story of international athlet / fashion model Amy Bohan follows her life from a girl next door to a drug dependant rape victim, In between, she followed a downward spiral of drug abuse and failed relationships with various famous men
A cinderella life story crashes horribly in a few quick years?
Or
A self obsessed, vindictive little girl?
Personally??????
It is Lurid, sensationalized trash. Amy herself, and her nutty life is hard to like. She’s a borderline sociopath, an addict, selfish, childish, and irresponsible beyond comprehension. She uses people as if they were Kleenex. Too bad her obvious mental health issues and no firm hand to guide her ruin everything. And I do mean everything. Poor Amy
Wait a minute. What are we supposed to feel? Sorry for Amy because she made one hundred thousand pounds?? doin f***ing nothing? Oh selling a story on her ex!!! “Oh it was so hard, so terrible, they treated me so bad.”
Listen Miss, you had a free ride. And you f***in’ blew it. And all the lads mags should come with a warning because nobody looks like that especially not Amy Bohan.

Comment on The Haunting of Toby Jugg by Dennis Wheatley by Linda

After watching the movie, which I enjoyed, the acting and filming were very good. The haunting score truly added to the “creepiness” of the story…I had trouble following the story line, which just could of been me, but I felt like there were things missing in the film, that I could find in the book to explain…That being said, I am now going to purchase the book and then watch the movie again…I am also entrigued
the review of the book by “Hyre” and since I too like supernatural stories, I am looking forward to more books and movies by Wheatley…
