Brenda Joyce - A Dangerous Love

Reader #51 wrote: Loved the Dewarenne Dynasty books, however, though the character of Ariella was not developed enough as the other heroines. Grade: B.

Don't Mess With Zohan

Reader #51 wrote: Extremely silly story of an Israeli paratrooper who wants to cut his hair. Not funny. Grade: D.

Debbie Macomber - 74 Seaside Avenue

Reader # 51 wrote: It is the first of the Cedar Cove series, but can be read by itself alone. This is my first time reading Debbie Macomber and my main criticism is that there were too many characters and plots to follow. Less would be better. However, on the plus side, she develops the characters and their problems, and deals with real life issues. Grade: B.

Stevie Nicks Concert

Reader #96 wrote: Amazing voice, great musical band, but I missed the songs Fleetwood Mac made famous, she only did a few. Grade: B.

Get Smart

Reader #96 wrote: I enjoyed the Get Smart television series. This movie was a good imitation, but something was missing. Grade: B.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Reader #96 wrote: The movie was enjoyable, however, it lacked the spontaneity of previous Indiana Jones films. Grade: B.

John Grogan - Marley and Me

Reader #521 wrote: I love dogs and this story was about a crazy, loving lab. The book made me laugh and cry. This crazy dog teaches its owner and I can relate to the devotion the owners had to their canine friend. It's a great summer read. Grade A.

Juno

Reader #521 wrote: I thought it was OK, but I expected a different ending. I hoped she would decide to keep the baby in the end. Grade: C.

Maid of Honor

Reader #521 wrote: It had a predictable ending, but it was great fun. Patrick Dempsey was very funny, and you wanted him to get the girl in the end.

David Baldacci - The Collectors

Reader #90 says: I recommend reading this because it is well researched, adding reality to the plot. His very good main and sub plots hold the readers interest. I found myself not wanting to put the book down. Grade: A.

Shirley Tallman - The Cliffhouse Strangler

Reader Number 412 wrote: At first is seemed slow like an Agatha Christie book. Then the reading got more interesting with all the murders. You try to figure out the murderer, but you think it's one person, and then they get murdered, too! It keeps you guessing until the end. Rating: B
