"An original. Based in 17th century Paris, the story of a serial murderer and told through the fleeting sense of smell. Nothing else like it, ever.

"Quite probably the best modern Gothic novel written. Very "Rebecca"-ish, and a mystery until the end.

"Never thought I would love this book as much as I do, since it's sort of a WWII story. An amazing true tale of survival. Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does. Great for men and women, and you won't be able to put it down."

"One of literature's great mysteries -- how did Charles Dickens spend his last week on Earth? He showed up drunk and disheveled at his home with no memory, and died soon after. Dan Simmons, using the voice of the great writer and true-life best friend of Dickens, Wilkie Collins, weaves a historical mystery thriller like no other. "

"I think this is the best, most fun, of Dan Brown's books. Secret societies under Washington D.C.'s landmarks. Nothing really new here, but a great beach read!"

"All of the Deaver books are terrific, but this one evokes an area of historic Manhattan which actually never existed. You'll feel like you're there, as you bounce between olde New York and modern times with a killer on the loose."

"Just a fantastic mystery thriller read, set in both a hyper-modern facility in the desert and in the cyber world created by a brilliant man-boy billionaire recluse. "

"Mix Roald Dahl's "Boy" with "The Wonder Years," and put it in the hands of Bill Bryson, and you have his funny, evocative autobiographical look of growing up in Iowa in the 1950s. Quite possibly my favorite book, ever. You will laugh out loud from beginning to end."

"Again with the Bryson. This portly, middle-aged raconteur attempts to walk the entire Appalachian Trail with a high school acquaintance who is also massively out of shape. An amazing, amusing look at America's longest dirt road."
