Winning Reviews

Books, books, and more books! Looking for the next best? Our winning reviewers may be able to help. Take a look:

Secrets of the Koran by Don Richardson, reviewed by Alan V. - Very informative expose of what the writings of Mohammed contain and the motivation behind it all. It’s no wonder the world is experiencing so much turmoil.

Once Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris, reviewed by Sheryl H. - Fun and frivolous, a somewhat grown-up version of a slightly more modern fairy tale. If you liked Ella Enchanted, give this one a try.

Chocolate Dipped Death by Sammi Carter, reviewed by Sandy J. - Abby in Paradise is having a contest in her candy store. One of the contestants is missing. Abby and dog Max start the search for the contestant.

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella, reviewed by Megan M. - Sophie Kinsella is a great author! This is the second book of hers and I loved it. What girl doesn’t like to shop, mixed with a little romance and what do you have - a good novel.

Seabiscuit: An American Legend by Laura Hillenbrand, reviewed by Shannon F. - Ms. Hillenbrand does a good job of giving the reader a vivid picture of not only the likes of Seabiscuit and the people who loved and worked with him, but also the times in which Seabiscuit lived. The reader gets caught up in the bygone era of the 1920s and 1930s. One does not need to be fascinated by horses to be swept up by Seabiscuit.

Agatha Raisin and the Quiche of Death by M.C. Beaton, reviewed by Kathleen Fagan - Great intro to an amateur detective series. Crabby Agatha is a delight. Fun reading.

Secret Sanction by Brian Haig, reviewed by Susan V. - I have read most of this author’s books. I like his humor and fast-paced style. Secret Sanction was a good read even if you are unfamiliar with military lingo.
