Customer Review: "Netherland" is a very good read. Hans van den Broek, Joseph O'Neill's protagonist and narrator is of four worlds: childhood in The Hague; pre-9/11 London; 9/11-era New York City; and post-9/11 London. O'Neill's tale weaves together van den Broek's recollections interrupted by reveries of these four... more info
"The Likeness" takes places six months after Tana French's first novel, "In the Woods". Detective Cassie Maddox has been through a lot of trauma and she wants nothing to do with murder cases and has transferred out of that unit. One day, a young woman is stabbed to death and Cassie is called... more info
Customer Review: I just finished reading "In the Woods," which was no small feat and took up much of my free time. Soon after finishing the last sentence, the book was swiftly tossed across the floor in an act of utter disappointment and I immediately started searching the web for reader's reviews. Most of what I... more info
Customer Review: With the exception of my re-reading J.P. Donleavy's The Ginger Man, The Secret Scripture was the best book I read in 2008. I couldn't put it down. A must-have for your library.
Customer Review: Anne Enright has written a book that will (and has) spark debates for years to come. Admittedly, this book is not for everyone and more often than not the reader will have to re read it to fully understand what this book is about. I, for one, enjoyed this grim tale of Veronica Hegarty. The backdrop... more info
Customer Review: This is one of those novels that in actuality heralded the end of the novel as it was known (and still is for those of us who still enjoy a story for story's sake, and by that I mean all the ingredients). I first attempted to read this during my days in the army since I'd heard so much about... more info

Customer Review: After reading several reviews, I decided to purchase both this book and An Irish Country Christmas as gifts for a member of my family. When the books arrived, I decided to read An Irish Country Doctor before giving it. I'm really glad I did! I would have been embarrassed to give these books to... more info
Customer Review: It's something comforting about Maeve Binchy's books. The cliché about a book being like a good friend, is so very right in her case. Of course, one is interested in finding out what happens to the characters, but there is no hurry. In the case of this book, it is much more preferable to sit... more info
Customer Review: I'm not quite sure what to say. Every time I wanted to pick up this book I had to force myself. However, as soon as I started reading it was not a chore. This book contains some of the most beautiful prose I have ever read. I think Joyce captured a young man's journey from childhood into adulthood... more info
