The elephant whisperer
- The author, a conservationist, Lawrence Anthony, passed away in March 2012, and the book will be re-released in May 2012. It is an incredible true story of one man's close relationship and interaction with a wild herd of elephants. If you are a nature or animal lover, or just enjoy adventure non-fiction, you will never forget this book.

Freedom
- I loved this novel, very human and lifelike with the varying stories amazingly interwoven. A good synopsis of american politics and the world take on green issues. The two main characters could really be you me or anyone. Heartbroken to finish this I wanted it to go on and on. And yet some of the reviews were quite negative. This is a very good book indeed and a wonderful story

Kismet by Wayne Sharrocks
- I found this to be an extremely well written and compelling psychological thriller. Sited in London's seedy underbelly this well-observed account follows the lead characters journey on a mission for revenge and ultimately redemption. It's gritty, suspenseful, well crafted and has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing until the very end.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians
- This series made me love reading. Riordan displays a great way of putting greek mythology to reality. He does this so well that I almost believed it. Anyone who reads this series will never put it down

Learn her true story about the cells that continue to grow and the impact she has made - a poor black women in the 1950's when segregation was still a part of U.S. A fascinating story as the author unfolds the family's story over a ten year period - a must read!

You Don't Look Like Anyone I Know--great
- I have just finished this piece of non-fiction and loved it. The author has prosopagnosia, a condition which makes it difficult to recognize anyone reliably--even herself. Heather Sellers talks about her unusual childhood and how she came to be diagnosed. The struggles that this author overcame to be a successful English professor and author are amazing. I saw her speak at an indie bookstore in Woodstock, IL and was amazed by her presence and strength. I am not usually one to read non-fiction, but I was not disappointed. I don't think you will be either.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
- The last line brought tears to my eyes because it is such a sweet lovely ending to such a brutal story, and because I may never get to visit with Salander again. I miss her already.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians series
- I don't know a single person who doesn't like this heart beating series. It should be among the best books in the world.

The Liquid City - Best Fiction of 2010
- I just finished reading and reviewing The Liquid City by Curtis J Hopfenbeck for Men's Magazine and absolutely loved it. It's what good writing is all about. Smart, funny, intelligent and fast paced. An excellent light fiction choice for a great escape or long plane trip@! Rarely is dialogue and bantor written so well, and rarely is it so prolific within one book. I was even more blown away when I found out it was Hopfenbeck's first book... Amazing! Talk about a future! Anyway, typically don't offer an unsolicited review, especially free of charge, but this was just too good to keep to myself and my readers. 5 stars all the way!
