Has anyone else read these books?

My mother gave me a book called 'Night Fall' by Nelson Demille. It's about the TWA 800 explosion and the possibility of a missile hitting the plane. Well, I loved that one so much, so I checked out some more of his books from the library. The Lion's Game and Wildfire.

Wildfire is about a group of powerful right wing nutcases who decide to detonate a nuke in two American cities in order to give the U.S an excuse to nuke the entire Mideast. It really makes you think.

Very good books. If you haven't read them, I'd suggest checking them out.

1. I've read all of Demille's books and I've liked most of them immensely....

I haven't read The Gate House and probably won't since it's a sequel to the only one I didn't really care for, The Gold Coast. I thought Wild Fire was good, but not as good as some others. I liked The Lion's Game and Night Fall, but I think my favorites are Plum Island and The General's Daughter, and Cathedral. By The Rivers of Babylon is great too, especially if you liked Lion's Game.

3. I read Plum Island

My ancestors were the lighthouse keepers on Plum Island for two generations, before the government took it over for a testing facility. I've always wished it wasn't off limits. I read that book just to see what detail there might be about a place that was once the family's abode.

4. I've read Plum Island too

I wanted to read all of the John Corey books before I got to the others. I work a 12 hour shift at night and I have nothing but time to read.

These are the first books I've read that make me laugh out loud. John Corey's a trip!

You really can't go wrong reading any of his books- most are a true adventure. I am an avid reader and I am always waiting for his next one!!

7. Ah, no.

I have other books to read and now you tempt me with these. I just read a really differant sort of book because it's told from two perspectives, 1st and 3rd person and both are written in differant fonts. It's titled, "South By South Bronx", Abraham Rodriguez. Talk about edgy! Very good.



Publishers Weekly
Told from a variety of perspectives, including that of Detective Sanchez of the Bronx NYPD, this fevered noir from Rodriguez (Spidertown) centers on law enforcement's search for a drug dealer known as Spook, who had agreed to launder huge sums of money for a terrorist group, but took off with the cash instead. Punctuating the main story line are chapters whose relevance is obscure; one, for example, contains short biographies of Leni Riefenstahl, Anne Sexton and Marlene Dietrich. The author eventually pulls the disparate strands together, including those to do with Ava Reynolds, a mysterious blonde with instant recall who proves her ability by memorizing a page of Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho. At its best, the novel carries the reader along by the force of its hypnotic prose, but the effort necessary to keep track of what's going on may turn off those more comfortable with a conventional linear narrative.
