Title: All talk, no action Review: I stopped reading this book when, about a third of the way through, I realized that NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. All the characters seem to spend their time doing one of two things:1. If they're good guys, they tease each other playfully and twinkle their eyes.2. If they're bad guys, they sit around thinking about past, present, and future plots and conspiracies, all their co-conspirators and their respective motives, and the history of the universe.This was my first introduction to this series, and I would guess that the previous books were better, or there never would have been a series.

Title: For what it is, it's good. Review: I teach a 6th-grade course in the history of the English language, and I found in shopping for affordable dictionaries that's it's rare now to find one where even half the words have the language of origin identified. In class, we use the OED. But for casual use, this is the best paperback edition for identifying source languages that I've found currently in print. The paths of the sources are over-simplified, but outside of the OED, one expects that. I find this an excellent dictionary for use with middle-schoolers, and better than most paperback dictionaries for mainstream adult use. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: They Just Keep Getting Better Review: Well, unfortunately, I got this book from the library on a day that my husband worked the night shift...and I didn't sleep a wink all night long...every time a hair touched my face or the house settled, I jumped, imagining spiders walking along my neck or Preacher Faulkner creeping silently into my abode.... This is the best book yet of Connolly's three novels I've read. You'll enjoy them more and better understand the story line if you read them consecutively, though. I don't believe in doing reviews as "book reports" so I won't rehash the plot for you, but suffice it to say that this is the most riveting, scary, intriguing, well-written thriller that I've read in years. If you like being scared [...], then READ THIS BOOK! It's totally awesome!!! Is the review positive or negative?

Title: worth reading Review: While several people have said bad things about this book I really enjoyed it. Todd's style isn't quite the same as his mother's and that may be the reason for some of the negative reviews. But he brings some fresh ideas and I, for one, love that.
