Flashback by Dan Simmons My rating: 2 of 5 stars I generally like Dan Simmons as an author, but for some reason found this particular book hard to get in to. Other reviewers have said they did not like the heavy-fisted politics, but I didn’t really have a problem with that. I think it was [...]
The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest by Stieg Larsson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Unlike the second book, which you could pick up without having read the first, I would not read this one unless you’ve read at least the second book. This is the culmination of the story; mysteries are revealed, threads [...]

The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Like the first one, this one started off just a tad slowly, and I did wonder where he was going with it. It picked up considerable speed, though, and I absolutely devoured it. One thing I found myself thinking, though, [...]
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’m sure hundreds of people have reviewed this already, so…I picked this up because I wanted to read them before the American movie came out (I have not yet seen the Swedish movies). It took about 100 pages or so [...]

Down Time by Lynn Abbey My rating: 4 of 5 stars Last in the series, this one takes place out of Emma’s usual element, and puts her on the road. Or, out to sea, as the case may be – a good portion of this book takes place on a cruise. Emma and her mother [...]
Rimrunners by C.J. Cherryh My rating: 5 of 5 stars One thing that I kept wondering throughout this book was if Joss Whedon had read this right before writing Firefly, because a lot of the characters in that TV show have very similar speaking patterns to a few of the characters in this book.Another book [...]
Taking Time by Lynn Abbey My rating: 4 of 5 stars I’m catching up on some reviews so hopefully won’t sound like I’m parroting the one I just wrote but… having said that, I liked the first book in this series so much I ran out to find the next three.This third book follows Emma [...]
Starfarers by Vonda N. McIntyre My rating: 3 of 5 stars As I recently said, I was picking up a few Vonda McIntyre books to see if there were any I’d like as much as Dreamsnake. This one looked like one I’d like, but I wish I’d known at the time to look for the [...]
