1 | Confusing, Boring Novel About Unlikeable Performance Artist | SPOILER ALERT: If I understand EXHIBIT ALEXANDRA: A NOVEL at all, it is a novel about a mentally ill performance artist (Alexandra/Amelia) who transforms her own life into the ultimate performance art installation, an installation that is intended to be exhibited in a New York art gallery. Why anyone would be interest... | [] | 1524761079 | 1524761079 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,537,659,431,684 | 29 | false |
4 | Excellent Historical Fiction; Not Really a Mystery/Thriller | THE PARAGON HOTEL is an excellent historical novel, but it’s misclassified as a mystery/thriller. Yes, there’s some mystery (e.g., how did the pretty blonde white woman acquire a gunshot wound, who is she running from, where is the missing mulatto child). But it’s really literary fiction, a serious novel that sheds l... | [] | 0735210756 | 0735210756 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,537,645,557,988 | 1 | false |
5 | DK Outdoes Itself With This Solo Movie Book | I’m kind of hooked on the DK popular culture books (Star Wars, LEGO, etc.), but I think that DK has really outdone itself with SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY. It has beautiful, large color photos of all the characters, so you can examine the finest details of their makeup, costumes, and gear.<br /><br />It also has factual e... | [] | 1465466908 | 1465466908 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,537,573,539,310 | 0 | false |
4 | Treat for Sci-Fi Fans With Predilection for Aliens | STRANGE MUSIC: A PIP & FLINX ADVENTURE is my first “Pip & Flinx”, but it works fine as a standalone. It’s a treat for classic sci-fi fans who harbor a special liking for aliens. Alan Dean Foster creates alien environments, races, and cultures economically with words, packing enormous amounts of vivid detail into each ... | [] | 1101967609 | 1101967609 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,537,564,579,907 | 0 | false |
2 | Novel About Human Connections; Boring as Mystery/Thriller | PROVIDENCE: A NOVEL is professionally written, and it’s probably a decent novel, but it isn’t what I expect from a fantasy mystery/thriller. It’s written as a first-person narrative, in chapters that cycle through three different viewpoint characters (Jon, Chloe, Eggs). The chapters are further grouped into parts inv... | [] | 0399591435 | 0399591435 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,537,559,986,259 | 0 | false |
1 | Schoolmate’s Death Haunts Single Mother Some 25 Years Later | FRIEND REQUEST is yet another novel about something terrible that happened when the main character was in high school; that comes to light again years later; that causes serious trauma or detriment to the adult character. In this example, the main character (Louise) did things that contributed to the death of a school... | [] | 1478948515 | 1478948515 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,537,479,668,242 | 1 | false |
4 | Moving Memoir by Combat Physician Who Served at Height of Iraq War | CROSSINGS: A DOCTOR-SOLDIER’S STORY is a moving memoir by a courageous Army physician who completed no fewer than three combat-duty tours in Iraq during the Iraq War.

5 | Delightful, Humorous Blend of Private Investigator, Cozy Mystery Genres | BABY’S FIRST FELONY (A CECIL YOUNGER INVESTIGATION) is a delightful blend of the private investigator and cozy mystery genres. It’s really an extended shaggy dog story (along the lines of “How I Met Your Mother”), presented as an allocution by criminal defense investigator Cecil Younger to a 3-person panel of sentenci... | [] | 1616958782 | 1616958782 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,537,404,002,680 | 3 | false |
4 | Teaser Gives Plot Away, But Story Is Worth Reading | The only thing wrong with AFTER I’VE GONE is the lack of suspense--the plot is given away by the publisher’s teaser description. To wit, a young woman (Jess) opens her Facebook timeline, only to read memorial tributes posted by her father and friends regarding her untimely death. Only she can see the posts--eventuall... | [] | 1786483033 | 1786483033 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,537,373,081,621 | 0 | false |
1 | Slow-Moving, Confusing, Post-Apocalypse Survival Novel | THE FEED: A NOVEL is a slow-moving, confusing, post-apocalypse survival novel. The apocalypse is the collapse of “the Feed”--a continuously streaming, Internet-like connection that communicates directly to people’s brains. It can be switched off, but almost no one does it, because it substitutes for speech in modern ... | [] | 0062651854 | 0062651854 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,537,370,131,197 | 10 | false |
3 | Pedestrian Cave-Exploration Thriller Gets Reality-TV Host’s Dialogue Exactly Right | THE ANOMALY is a rather pedestrian ancient-cave-exploration thriller about a fifth-rate-documentary-filming team’s discovery of actual buried secrets. The irony of it all is that afterwards the team can’t tell anyone about the discovery. Again and again, the author absolutely nails the phony on-screen dialogue spewed... | [] | 1538761858 | 1538761858 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,537,284,369,846 | 2 | false |
3 | Weird, Philosophical Novel About Torture and Walking | THE MIRANDA is a weird, sort of philosophical novel about torture and walking. Although it’s a book that I wish I hadn’t read (at least I refrained from Googling “the Spanish boot”), it has a sort of horrid fascination, and probably has some literary merit. It’s written as a first-person narrative, almost but not qui... | [] | 1944700366 | 1944700366 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,537,152,390,072 | 0 | false |
4 | Military Investigators Track Siren From Korean Folklore | THE NINE-TAILED FOX (A SERGEANTS SUEÑO AND BASCOM NOVEL) is the 12th series novel (but my first), and it works fine as a standalone. It’s a plainly written military police procedural set in 1970s South Korea. Because the author was stationed in Korea for 10 years, the details of the setting ring absolutely true. The... | [] | 1616958235 | 1616958235 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,537,111,356,618 | 0 | false |
5 | Terrifying Supernatural Thriller About West Point of the Future | THE POINT is is a supernatural thriller about the West Point of the future--a West Point that includes a specially-recruited, secret group of “posthuman” cadets. The posthumans each have a special power (telekinesis, mind control, mind-healing, superhero strength/speed, etc.).

1 | Slow-Moving Novel About Relationships Among Uninteresting Characters | CONVERSATIONS WITH FRIENDS: A NOVEL is written in economical prose--not the kind that Hemingway produced, but the dull, uninteresting kind. Even worse, the plot is all about slow-developing, slow-moving relationships among characters that are neither memorable nor compelling. And of course, as a debut novel, it’s writ... | [] | 0451499050 | 0451499050 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,537,037,569,563 | 7 | false |
3 | A Real Slog--But With Important Romantic Developments for Ongoing Characters | Although I’m a fan of author Elly Griffiths and the “Magic Men” series, I found THE VANISHING BOX (MAGIC MEN MYSTERIES) to be a real slog (unlike the other series books). If I hadn’t already been committed to the characters, I probably would’ve abandoned it about a third of the way through. This is the 4th novel in t... | [] | 0544750292 | 0544750292 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,536,867,934,836 | 3 | false |
5 | “Domestic Diva” Sophie Winston Delights Cozy Mystery Fans | THE DIVA COOKS UP A STORM appears to be the 11th novel in Krista Davis’ “Domestic Diva Mystery” series; it works fine as a standalone. It was my first exposure to Sophie Winston and her domestic diva friends, and I thoroughly enjoyed her character and the entire well-plotted cozy mystery.

1 | Fantasy/Romance Novel About Rebellious Young Concubines | GIRLS OF PAPER AND FIRE is a “JIMMY Patterson” book; it’s one of James Patterson’s line of books aimed at “young readers” (meaning, I guess, “young adults”). It’s a fantasy/romance novel, obviously intended as the first entry in some sweeping saga (see the cliffhanger in the Epilogue).<br /><br />The fantasy setting i... | [] | 0316561363 | 0316561363 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,536,353,550,243 | 28 | false |
5 | Superb Fictionalized Account of Norwegian Sabotage of WWII Germany’s Nuclear Program | THE SABOTEUR: A NOVEL is an extremely well done, fictionalized account of the 1943 sabotage of Germany’s heavy water supply (derived from the Norsk Hydro fertilizer factory at Vemork, Norway) during WWII. The sabotage ended Germany’s research program that was aimed at the development of an atomic bomb.<br /><br />The ... | [] | 1250079519 | 1250079519 | AEYGPUCRKH7G4VM22FM3VAKSQ23Q | 1,536,276,823,349 | 0 | false |
1 | Clumsy, Poorly Written Novel With Cardboard Caricatures of Pirates | THE DEVIL’S WIND: A SPIDER JOHN MYSTERY is a clumsily-written novel about a reluctant pirate (Spider John).

3 | Easy-Reading, Entertaining Thriller If You Like Paranormal Stuff | SCHOOL FOR PSYCHICS: BOOK ONE is an easy-reading, entertaining thriller, if (like me) you have a taste for supernatural/paranormal stuff.

AUNTIE POLDI AND THE SICILIAN LIONS (AN AUNTIE POLDI ADVENTURE) is the most charming, entertaining cozy mystery that I’ve come across in a long, long time.

1 | Too Many Confusing Words, Names to Interest Reader Unfamiliar With 16th Century Shingon Buddhism | TRIAL ON MOUNT KOYA: A HIRO HATTORI NOVEL (A SHINOBI MYSTERY) is the sixth “Hiro Hattori” mystery, and it definitely does NOT work as a standalone.

3 | Odd Erotic Romance Between Self-Involved Student, Merman | THE PISCES: A NOVEL is something of an oddity--an intellectual’s erotic fantasy romance.

3 | Exhausted Vic Pursues Dual Investigations Into Affairs of Powerful People | SHELL GAME: A V.I. WARSHAWSKI NOVEL is the 19th V.I. Warshawski novel. I’m a fan of this generally excellent series, but SHELL GAME is very slow-moving, and has a downright silly ending. Private detective Warshawski (Vic) is always a reckless risk-taker, and we see plenty of risk-taking during this “adventure”.
