Maureen Bol maureenbol — WOW! This was so absolutely amazing and not what I thought it was going to be. I avoided it for years thinking it was "killer plants taking over the world 50s B-movie style" but I was fnugging WRONG. If ever there was a piece of literature (or any other media for that matter) that so understated yet made so believable such an at-first-glance ridiculous premise, it is this novel. The characterizations were wonderful. I really knew Bill, Coker, and Josella right off the bat in fewer words without the over-wrought character development that a lot of novels fall prey to. With just a few finely crafted words, I truly knew these people. Sure, it was quite G-rated (which Im fine with but its a little *too* obvious that he's skirting around the sex issue for wholesome 50s sake) and dated, but that in no way gets in the way of its effectiveness even in today's culture. In fact, 50s speak is the *only* thing that dates it; everything else is very valid today (maybe rename Russia to N Korea or something [shrugs:]). I wanted more. I wanted way more. I was sad when it ended. ***KINDA SPOILERS AHEAD*** No, we never find out exactly what caused it. We speculate maybe it was aliens who brought the plants all along. Id rather not know. Because in reality, between you and me (read: "the average Joe"), if something like that does happen, you know we arent going to be privy as to why it happened and that just makes it all the more realistic in my book. And even thought John Wyndham was himself an Englishman, I love how he pokes fun at England for being such a pompous prick thinking its better than everyone AND for poking fun at the US in practically the same breath thinking its the world's saviour. LOVES IT! And of course, I love the little digs at "God" as well. You snuck some really cool stuff in there Wyndham. Wish I had discovered you sooner!

Evan Hart evanhart — james Patterson is well known for his thrilling tales. His main character, Dr Cross, is one of my favorite. A big, black, Washington DC cop and physchologist who is a single parent of 3 kids and lives with his grandmother, Nana Mama. Kiss the Girls was later made in to a movie, I have yet to see. After reading the book I may just take a look at it. This book is intense. Dr Cross is in search of his niece who has been kidnapped from college in the south. The search takes him also to LA where he hunts another serial killer. The two stories weave together in the Patterson style. Exciting to the very last page. A really good read.
