Dean Koontz's Your Heart Belongs to Me

Your Heart Belongs to Me was well written and very interesting. It was filled with suspense and intrigue. The use of paranoia was fantastic. Once I started to read I couldn't put it down. In the words of the author, "it's all in the subtext".

Blue Heaven by C.J. Box

I just discovered this author by chance
and Blue Heaven is the first book I have
read by this terrific author. It is a
real page turner to the end. The author
depicts life in a small town out west with
something that happens that turns the
whole town upside down. It is full of
suspense and moves quickly. I can't tell
you what the event is, but you won't be
disappointed!

Annie Dillard's The Maytrees

The Maytrees by Annie Dillard is
unique
. The story is poetic, the
prose beautifully phrased. This is
apt as the story is
about a poet, his
two loves, their friends, and the Cape
Cod
shore. This is a story about living
and dying; love; and the
beauties of
nature. Descriptions are poignant and
the
characters delightfully unconventional.

I listened to this
story on CD; the reading
was beautifully done
by David Rasche.
I have listened to the last CD several times already
as I am
not ready to say "good bye" to these 'friends'.
However, this
is my last listen. I heartily recommend
this book. Among the b
est I've 'read in a long time.

The Weapon by David Poyer

When Dan Lenson can't buy the Russian's
newest Rocket Torpedo
for the US to
examine, he attempts to steal one from the

Iranians. This leads to a thrilling escape
on an unfamiliar
sub, through unknown
waters with controls labeled in Russian
and
unreadable to his skeleton crew while the
Iranians try to
blow them out of the water.
A recommended read.
