SCAREDY CAT discussion

Would love to hear from our members on which books you would rate as a 5 star. I am picky on giving a book 5 stars but when I do, I know 90% of the people will love it or really like it.

Patient Zero
this has got to be one of my favorite books. First rate thriller. This is not a zombie apocalypse. And regardless of the horror categorization, this book is not scary. It is a mystery/thriller with lots of action to round things out.

Have you read the rest of that series of books? They rock! Jonathan Maberry is one of my favorite authors! I only give 5 stars to books that I really get lost in.

Heck yes!! Love the Joe Ledger series. Read them all.
I'm reading Predator One now, just came out.
Jonathan Maberry rocks and rolls! ;) His Rot & Ruin and Dead of Night series was excellent too.

The Pine Deep trilogy is also great ;) Just got Predator One but my review list is hovering around 25 books so it may be a little while before I get to read my 'Just For Fun' books.

I have not read the Pine Depp trilogy yet but I will now, thanks.
Which book would you rate as a 5 star, Angela?

Swan Song by Robert R. McCammon. Hands down one of my favorite books EVER ;) I've read several copies to tatters,,,,

Haven't read it yet, thanks because that's my next book that I'm going to read ;)

I hope you love it as much as I do :D

So glad you like it! :D

Finished swan song and loved it. Rated *****

I adore that book! The story just gets better every time I read it :D

Andrew wrote: "Swan Song is one of McCammon's best."

Totally Agree!!

I agree Ashley, that's why I wanted a topic on books that you think it's by far one of the best books. We readers, at one time or another, have read books that just left you wishing you never started it in the first place. This topic is for THOSE books that when you finish it you're fulfilled and you can actually say 'now that was a damn good book'. Books you want others to enjoy as much as you did.

I read The Collector when I was a kid and I never forgot it. It was just so well written and interesting! It's still one of my favorites.

who's the author, KC? there's a movie called The Collector, is that from the book you're talking about?

John Fowels is the Author...Not that it will gore scare you, but what a mind fudging you will receive for sure! IDK if the movie is from the book, but I doubt it.

I read the reviews and they say it's very sad, KC. I don't like to read sad novels, there's so much in the world that can make you sad already.

True !!
