Review:
American Gods is Neil Gaiman's best and most ambitious novel yet, a scary, strange, and hallucinogenic road-trip story wrapped around a deep examination of the American spirit. Gaiman tackles everything from the onslaught of the information age to the meaning of death, but he doesn't sacrifice the razor-sharp plotting and narrative style he's been delivering since his Sandman days. Shadow gets out of prison early when his wife is killed in a car crash. At a loss, he takes up with a mysterious character called Wednesday, who is much more than he appears. In fact, Wednesday is an old god, once known as Odin the ... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
A thrilling suspensefilled mind into Clancys world. The first on the timeline of his books. The Story of how the ruthless straight to the point John Clark made his transition from his past life as John Kelly. A series of unfortunate events cast him into a war with drug dealers. While at the same time another very real war sends him up a river in Vietnam alone. I couldnt put the book down... im inthalled in more Clancys writings. Following the saga, skipping around a bit... but Without remorse was a great one.

Book description
Just another novel about life? Not really. In a world where humor and tragedy seem so diverse that it is almost impossible to comprehend how they could exist simultaneously, Morris and the Marshmallow dares to embrace both dimensions, uncovering a profound common thread, weaving an intriguing path through the very fibers of life. It is a story packed with suspense, drama, horror and laughter, but will ultimately brand the reader with a charge of inspiration and a deep sense of meaning.
