| 331. The Tommyknockers | |
|
by: Stephen King Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I'm not renowned for reading a book twice. In fact it's a VERY rare habit based on the premise that, if I know what's going to happen, I won't enjoy it second time round. However, I made an exception with Tommyknockers because my memories of it had begun to fade. What I discovered on second reading was the depth of Stephen King's writing. Knowing the storyline and the ending probably gave me more time to savour the text and, though King is a genius commercial writer as opposed to a pretentious literary ...

| 332. Willow (Debeers) | |
|
by: V.C. Andrews Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description it's mildly supreb. I read some of the other reviews, one person stating it was a sham because Willow lived a fine life with a nanny. True she was, but not all rich people live glorious lives. The new writer for the V.C. Andrews books has worked hard on creating a new series and I think she will grab the V.C. Andrews audience. Willow grows up with a nanny, a horrible adoptive mom, and a adoptive father who is a highly respected man in the psychitiary field. The nanny is more of a mother than her adoptive mother. ...

| 333. Cry to Heaven | |
|
by: Anne Rice Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I am glad that I read this book because it reminded me that Anne Rice is not just a great writer of the supernatural and gothic, she is simply a great writer, period. There is nothing of the supernatural here, yet it is perhaps the most horrifying, at least for a male, of any of her books. As a measure of the effect of this book upon me, I kept reading it even after I realised what the main theme was (I had no idea when I started reading.) Not only that, but music is probably the biggest gap in my education- and yet, ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 334. Hannibal | |
|
by: Thomas Harris Amazon.com's Price: $7.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description I am a scientist so usually I only read non-fiction books. Intrigued by the character Dr. Lecter and interested to know Clarice Starling's life, I have been eagerly waiting for their return. Thomas Harris' Hannibal is the first novel I read from cover to cover in years. I was not disappointed. While reading it, I clearly felt that I was listening to one of the greatest story tellers of our time. With senses of history and culture, the writer connects people from the Renaissance to the Internet age, from Dante's Inferno ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 335. The Blackstone Chronicles (Blackstone Chronicles) | |
|
by: John Saul List Price: $14.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.47 You Save: $4.48 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description John Saul does a good job with this serial, and developing his characters. The town of Blackstone doesn't take much imagination to make it seem real and one has to wonder what kind of atrocities might have been comitted in the early days when people were committed to asylums and forgotten. I enjoyed this book as much as The Green Mile by King. Read Reviews and Description

| 336. Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Tales of the Slayer, Vol. 3 | |
|
by: Nancy Holder, Mel Odom, Yvonne Navarro, Christopher Gloden Amazon.com's Price: $9.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Unlike the first two Tales of the Slayer books which consisted of 8-10 short stories, this one consists of four fairly meaty novellas. The first novella was set in a Native American community in 1229. While I didn't enjoy this story immmensely, it was extremely well executed. Its the story of a slayer who was trained without understanding her calling. When she was called she still didn't understand the rules of the game. The story follows her frustration and angst and she realizes that she has failed to fulfill ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

|
by: Richard A. Knaak Amazon.com's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Though this is the 3rd of the Diablo series, it's not considered a trilogy or anything. The story happens to be in the Diablo universe. The story takes place around the regions of Kurast. It follows a groups adventurers in search of treasure. Specifically the holy city of Ureh which is supposed to have disappeared from this realm as they were making their journey to Heaven. Now, it's back and of course, things are not as they seem. You will have to read to find out what exactly happens. I have read the 1st Diablo book and I believe ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 338. The Traveling Vampire Show | |
|
by: Richard Laymon Amazon.com's Price: $6.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description If anyone could write great horror then it was the late Richard Laymon. It makes me sad to know that I discovered this writer after he had passed away considering just how much I enjoy his books. The Traveling Vampire Show did not disappoint in any way. I will warn a vampire fan that this is not at all typical of the genre. This is a coming of age novel as well as a horror novel and sometimes it focuses more on the character's than horror yet it also steadily builds with a sense of dread as the day wears on and certain events occur. Its a ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

| 339. Preacher: Proud Americans (Preacher Library , Vol 3) | |
|
by: Garth Ennis List Price: $14.95 Amazon.com's Price: $10.47 You Save: $4.48 (30%) Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description You can think of "Proud Americans" as a tasty comic hamburger, where the main story involving Jesse, Tulip, Cassidy and the Grail is the extra thick patty, coated with plenty of bright-colored oozing special sauce, all sandwiched between two toasty back stories buns. This third helping of the Ennis and Dillon's "Preacher" begins with a flash-back to Vietnam where we learn more about Jesse's father and his influence on Jesse's current mission. Then we come back to the present and retrieve our good friend Cassidy from the clutches of the Grail ... Read More Read Reviews and Description

|
by: Joss Whedon Amazon.com's Price: $9.99 Prices subject to change. Customer Reviews and Description Volume 1 had some good stories, even some good writing but I like this second, slightly larger, book even better. There are a couple of "Buffy" stories, one by the guy who was in charge of Makeup for the first six years of the series production,(his story is a little weak, set in fourth season, and has at least acouple of details wrong). The other is by show writer Jane Espenson, set in 6th season there is some time travel back to late third season and it is better than some of the episodes that actually were aired. I liked it about as well as any in the ... Read More Read Reviews and Description
