Actually, I give this book a 4.5/5 stars. Alex Sabian is a FBPI Enforcer and when vampire bodies start piling up, she comes face to face with a cold-blooded, psychopathic killer whose methods mirror the murder of her father decades before. Now it's a race against time to find the killer who has decided to make this personal against Alex and attack who she holds close and dear to her. Jeannie Holmes packs this Urban Fantasy thriller with action, suspense, drama, intrigue, mystery and nail biting moments. Characters are wonderfully fleshed out and the pace and flow of the intense plot line kept me engaged throughout the whole book. In a nutshell, it hits the ground running and doesn't stop. Her writing style reminds me of elements of Stephen King and how he could evoke cold dread with a few words of scene set up. Her next book "Blood Secrets" is on the agenda and from what I have read, it will keep me riveted and on the edge of my seat. I hate that these books are published one year apart, but that's better than nothing. And in my opinion, it worth the wait.

Just re-read this for the third time. Truly a classic, and rollickingly fummy. The reasoning and emotions are just as relevant today. Love how it captures a period in the evolution of eco-warriors, the inconsistency of the human beings who do the acts, and the "types" involved. Abbey clearly loved machinery, the idea of destroying it when necessary and the desert landscape. If you have ever been to southern Utah, Colorado, on the western rivers and in the canyons, he really brings it all back in his descriptions.

David Plante is surprisingly prolific and although I haven't found a website dedicated solely to Plante, I was able to learn from various resources that he is most widely known for The Family (1978). ABC has been on the recommended reading list for Dreamworld Book Reviews since its release; however the source that recommended it has been long forgotten. ABC is a tale about the mourning of Gerard Chauvin, a father who loses his son to a freak accident in an old abandoned house while vacationing at a lake. Moments before his son's tragic accident, Gerard picks up a random piece of paper from the floor, which happens to contain the Sanskrit alphabet. As Gerard tries to come to terms with his son's random death, he becomes obsessed with learning about the history of the alphabet, trying desperately to find some correlation or coincidence between the accident and the alphabet. Gerard then embarks on a manic journey to find these "answers" and learn everything he can about the history of the ABCs. ABC is definitely one of the most original and unique pieces of literature I've ever read; however half of the novel is memorable while the other half is easily forgettable. At first, directly after his son Harry's accident, ABC grows weary with details about Gerard's mourning and grief, when all of a sudden the novel takes an intriguing turn. Gerard revisits the "scene of the crime" so to speak, and we learn that Harry's accident was actually set up on purpose by the local kids who use the old deserted house as a hangout. Gerard becomes obsessed with the question of "Why?" when pondering how the daily, normal lives of others can have such a large, grand butterfly effect. Once Gerard learns that the piece of paper with the Sanskrit alphabet was left behind a local girl who uses the old house to study in, his journey is in full effect, and the novel is once again brought to life. Although the dictionary entries and blurbs about the alphabet throughout ABC are tedious and tiring, the novel redeems itself on the subject on mourning and on coping with death as a whole. I was particularly touched by Catherine's descent and tirade into mourning her daughter. Catherine has many great points when speaking to Gerard about love and death. ABC may be the perfect novel for the griever; it's definitely very touching and brings to light validities one normally wouldn't consider unless you lost a person to an accident of sorts. David Plante's newest book is his own memoir on grief called The Pure Lover (2010). Read more book reviews at http://dreamworldbooks.com.

From the list...good, but forgettable.

Very very slow book, but it gets exciting in the last couple of chapters, and serves as a preface for the rest of the books. If I hadn't bought the 4 book bundle I would have not finished it.

I love it when my reading overlaps. I was reading "Arthur and George" by Julian Barnes, and his character Arthur muses about death while traveling past Woking. I knew what he was thinking about because I was also reading "Necropolis." The best part of the book for me is the story of the huge cemetery in Woking - the planning, the train station built especially for funerals from London (60 a day), and its fall into disuse. Overall, I gave it a 3 because it didn't keep my attention like it should have for someone with a wide streak of morbid curiosity, a deep Anglophilia, and a near-obsession with Victoriana. Still, I'd recommend it for some insights into how London grappled with its cemetery problem - a problem that every large city has had to confront.

I own a British edition of book one, that I purchased in Stratford-upon-Avon. So along with having a great book, I have a lot of good memories :)

Totally wacky, as a good children's book should be. I've never eaten a steak and kidney pudding, so I can't really relate to this character ;) , but some of the adventures and dialogue really cracked me up. There were a number of songs, which I don't normally enjoy, but these were quite humorous and a little on the order of Dr. Seuss. I wonder if Mr. Geisel ever read this book. This is another of those "I wish I'd read this as a kid" kind of stories, as I'm pretty sure it would have earned a higher star count if I had.

This was a very quick read. I've read all of the Wallander mysteries. I enjoy the character of Kurt Wallander and I like reading about his relationships with his family and colleagues. I did find the plot of this one to be a bit complicated, with new characters jumping in frequently to stir things up either in the mystery or Wallander's personal life.
