T. Goodkind lost the art of combining dialog with horrifying violence with a purpose going toward an unforseen yet sensible outcome. His characters just went a little nuts. It seemed like the ending was disjointed and left a lot of details out that need... | 1996-09-14 |

Giving new life to the "The Omen" story of Apocalypse Soon, and avoiding the worst excesses of both authors, Good Omens is very, very funny. At times, the individual authors styles seem to risk creeping out and overwhelming the book, but overall this ... | 1996-09-16 |

The backbone of the plot can be explained in a sentence and while it might have supported a short story (the resolution of the story is predictable half way through) it's too flimsy a frame for a novel. The no-gray-zone se... | 1996-09-16 |

The book describes the life of a brilliant Nobel Prize-winning physicist, and shows him as a completely accessible human being. He gives a marvelously entertaining account of some of th... | 1996-09-19 |

On days that life in the office is getting you down, or if you ever fear you're taking life in the office too seriously, this book is a sure antidote. And, laughter is after all, the best medicine. | 1996-09-20 |

Although I've enjoyed all of her books, this is the one I've lost over 10 times "lending" it out to friends who never returned it. I have to keep re-buying it, since it stands up so well to repeated reading. The Arthur legend has been retold so many time... | 1996-09-21 |
