shadow Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 I have finished reading The Sacred Cut by David Hewson. It was a good read. Going to start The Lizard's Bite by David Hewson (fourth book in the Costa series). Excerpt from the back of the book: Life was never black and white in Italy...Venicereminded him of a bad yet familiar relative. Dangerous to know, difficult to let go. Nic Costa's and Gianni Peroni's exile in Veniceis finally drawing to a close. And the Roman detectives' last case, an apparently accidental fire that has claimed two lives, should be a straightforward affiar. However, as they dig more deeply into the insular glassaking community on Murano and the stange Arcangeli family, things don't quite add up. Soon Costa and Peroni became embroiled in a dangerous investigation into the shadowy, claustrophobic world that lies beneath Venice's sparkling facade - where the usual rules do not apply...

shadow Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 I have been reading the Labyrinth for the past couple of months and I haven't got past the first hundred pages. For some reason I con't seem to get into this book. So tempted to stop reading further but won't. I've many good things about this book, hope it gets intersting as it goes on. Got a feeling that it's going to take me awhile to finish this book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Read several more pages of Labyrinth today on the bus ride to and from campus today. I'm on page 159. Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow Posted March 30, 2008 Author Share Posted March 30, 2008 I finished reading the Labyrinth by Kate Mosse (finally!). As the book went on (somewhere after the 200th page), I found that it was quite enthralling. Normally, I am not fond of reading books that jump from on timeline to another, I find them to be ‘choppy’ and confusing. Kate Mosse moved through the two timelines without a glitch, they flowed. But I have to say that I enjoyed the past timeline better than the present, even though both were written wonderfully. I found that the past was blurred towards the ends when Audric tells Alice the story, I wanted more details. All in all, this was an entertaining read, but its not a book I’d want to reread. I have given up on reading Deep Fatham by James Rollins. I am done a little more than 1/4 of the book and I find that this book isn't gripping like his other ones.

shadow Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 'The Lizard's Bite' was wonderful read; I found it to be better than the previous three books in this series. The best book by David Hewson that I’ve read so far. There were many twists in the plot and the ending was very surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janet Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Thanks! Well, I've never come across that surname before! Mind you, our neighbours' surname is Windmill, which is kind of unusual I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 Just finished reading Amazonia by James Rolins for the second time. One of my all time fav books! This book is an action packed mystery thriller with a good plot. It's a wonderfully written book with scientific facts thrown in, but you won't notice it much, just flows with the story. The book held me in from the very first page, even for the second time. This book has everything from mutant animals to regeneration to a plague to a pet jaguar. done about 3/4 of The Historian, it has been a great read so far. I'm enjoying it. I've put Decipher by Stel Pavlou on hold until I finish The Historian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Historian - Elizabeth Kostova A great read but it took me awhile to read it. Loved the ending, very Hollywoodish. Decipher - Stel Pavlou An interesting read. Pavlou ties the Atlantic myths, religion, history and modern science together well but I found that Pavlou spent too much time on the scientific analysis. I found myself skipping paragraphs as I was reading. The Curious Incident with the Dog in the Night-Tine - Mark Haddon A short and easy read; read it in one sitting. The story is a very entertaining and humorous even though the main character, Christopher states early in the book that he doesn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
