Cover of "Let Me In"
    • Let Me In

    • With thoroughly developed characters and a gripping plot, this book is a roller coaster ride of chills from page 1. A well-crafted horror story where at times it's hard to tell which species is the biggest monster - the vampires or the humans.

Cover of "Dance upon the Air"
    • Dance Upon the Air

    • This installment in the trilogy kind of reminded me of Brunonia Barry's The Lace Reader.

Cover of "The Good Guy"
    • The Good Guy

    • Enjoyable characters, lots of suspenseful action, and good plot twists, however the ending was less than satisfying.

      Upton Sinclair books always seem to be a struggle for me to finish. He incorporates SO MUCH political philosophy into his stories. Not being a very political person, it's hard for me to remain interested in the story once it turns that bend in the road. Overall I found The Jungle to be a more interesting story due to the working/living atrocities brought to light there.

    • This book drew me in from the preface. I was already familiar with the facts behind the crimes of H.H.

      This book drew me in from the preface. I was already familiar with the facts behind the crimes of H.H. Holmes, but having been born and raised in St. Louis was much more familiar with the 1904 St. Louis Worlds Fair than this predecessor of 11 years. I found both the tale of the challenges of building and running the 1893 Worlds Fair and the tale of the depravities of H.H. Holmes equally riveting.

Cover of "Watchers"
    • The Watchers

    • Like many of Koontz's books it's about a man, a woman, and a golden retriever who outsmart the bad guys and then live happily ever after. Formulaic but still fun nonetheless.

Cover of "Dragonflight"
    • Dragonflight

    • This is the type of book that would have really appealed to me as a kid. I don't know how I could have missed it.
