I love to read so thought I would share with you a very short review of the books that I read. My favorite authors are Danielle Steele, Dean Koontz and John Grisham. To curl up and lose myself in a good book makes my MS disappear for awhile. It could work for you too!!

1998

Deamon Seed by Dean Koontz-Not one of his best ones that I have read but still unusual & interesting.

Silent Witness by Richard North Patterson--I loved this book. I would have to make myself quit reading and put it down to get things done around the house. It's about a man who became a lawyer and tells about his teenage years and the murder of his girlfriend and the factors that decided his fate as a lawyer. Really, really good!!

Paradise by Toni Morrison--Real deep and hard to understand & follow. Oprah bookclub pick.

The Ghost by Danielle Steel--Her books are always great to me. A good read.

Murder in Retrospect by Agatha Christie--I collect her books and have almost all of them in paperback. This one I ran across at the E-Bay auction & bid on it for $1.25. I love all her books.

Special Delivery by Danielle Steel--This book was so good. It was heart warming and funny. I kept it in the car and read it while waiting for Donielle to get out of school. I laughed so hard at parts, I had tears running down my cheeks. It's a fast read too.

Lost & Found by Jayne Ann Krentz--This is a romantic suspense with a small amount of sizzling sex throwed in. I didn't care for it that much but others probably would.

From The Corner of His Eye by Dean Koontz--If anyone has read Dean Koontz, you know how his books are. It held my interest but not one of his "best" writes.

Angel Falls by Kristin Hannah--I expected more from this book than what I got from it. Maybe I'm just too old. Liam's wife lies in a coma and only responds to her first husband's name whom they summon to help her recover if at all possible.

She finds the faith and courage to take one last step to save her life and that of her children.

After the Fire by Belva Plain--I liked this book. It is provocative & heart-breaking. A marriage is shattered, a family is in crisis & blackmail evolves. It's ending surprised me. I'm sure this story has been lived out in parts by other women.

Good In Bed by Jennifer Weiner--A funny and surprisingly tender story of a full figured heroine, her romantic entanglements, dysfunctional family dilemmas and her battles with her ex-boyfriend. This is the first book for this author. It was pretty good. A bit unrealistic in places but it made me laugh in parts.

False Memory by Dean Koontz--This was a many page book but of course, I loved it as I do his books. A Dr. hypnotizes his patients & then uses them to commit grueling crimes.

Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas by James Patterson--A love story by James Patterson. I like his suspense books so I had to read this one. It is a fast read & very heart warming.

The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle--Donielle had to read this for a class & I reread it to be able to quiz her on it. I enjoyed it again after 25+ years.

On The Street Where You Live by Mary Higgins Clark--A good mystery read. An attorney buys an old house & a skeleton is dug up in her yard of a woman who vanished several yrs ago BUT she is holding the finger bone of a woman who disappeared around 1892. How are they connected?

House of Sand and Fog by Andre Dubus III--I liked this book. It was different from what I normally read. It kept me interested yet I had feelings for both the Colonel & his family and the former owner of the house. It truely paints a picture of the country we live in today.

The King of Torts by John Grisham--Not one of his best. I didn't care for it that much.

East of Eden by John Steinbeck--An Oprah new book club pick. I would never have read this book if it wasn't for Oprah. It was very, very good. I joined her book club & read along each week with her & reviewed the summaries on line. Very helpful in understanding some parts.

Revenge of the Middle-Age Woman by Elizabeth Buchan--I bought this book because of the title. It was okay. I could see how this happens in marriages.

Upon his arrival, he finds his Dad already dead & millions in cash money stashed in boxes. He keeps quiet about the money but someone else knows and his life is in danger.

The Lake House by James Patterson--This is a sequence to the book "When The Wind Blows" about the children who can fly. It is a book that James Patterson sure shows his imagination.

Johnny Angel by Danielle Steel--A quick read. Read it over the weekend. She repeated herself on the different pages which irritated me some. It was a good story & I think she wrote it after her son's death which could explain the repeating over & over.

Lone Eagle by Danielle Steel--This was a great love story. Starting when they were young a bond was developed that grew stronger thru the years ending in marriage even though they were apart most of the time. Beautifully written.

Answered Prayers by Danielle Steel I must be on a Danielle Steel read run. I think I love her books so & have gotten behind in my reading, I read her books fast so that is why so many of her books in a row. This book was another good one.

Message in a Bottle by Nicholas Sparks--This is a tear jerker. I've had the book for awhile but just never got around to reading it.

He sees hyena-like shades following people who are already dead or will die. One mysterious stranger comes to town & Odd fears the worst for the town. A different kind of read but still it kept me interested.

Just One Look by Harlan Coben--A snapshot inserted into a group of family pictures picked up at the PhotoMart causes Grace Lawson's world to unravel in an instant.

The Mulberry Tree by Jude Deveraux--I didn't care for this book that much. Too many names and characters to keep up with. Unrealistic story even though she was trying to make it seem real. I think she failed.

Limitations by Scott Turow ---This was a bit hard for me to follow. I'm not up on legal jargon & I got lost a few times.
