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 [...]

Winter Study by Nevada Barr My rating: 4 of 5 stars Damn you, Nevada Barr, for writing books that keep me up reading until 2 AM. Don’t you know I need my sleep?! As usual, I found this to be a page-turner. Between the action, and the fabulous description of the park, it was hard [...]
