The Lakehouse by James Patterson

The Lake House by James Patterson





I bought this at a library sale for $2. Guess I'll see if there was a reason why they were purging it...




This book was just okay. Kinda stupid storyline. Pretty predictable ending, saw it coming from the first chapter. I suppose it was worth my $2. If you want it, let me know.

Dexter By Design

Dexter By Design by Jeff Lindsay


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


First of all, I am a huge fan of the Showtime series, and watched seasons 1 - 4 before I ever picked up any of the Dexter Novels. I'd like to think that watching the show first does not skew my perception of the novels, but a friend pointed out to me that when I read the books first and then watch the show in most situations, I like the books better.


So, with that said, I like the show better. Not to say I have not enjoyed the books. Dexter in the Dark threw me off a little, and I was a little concerned about where the series was going, but Dexter By Design has put it back on track for me.


Isn't it nice when things just work out? This book was moving along rather nicely, like most of the Dexter novels, with last few chapters having the big finish. Dexter has gained most of his wits back from the last book, but still has a hard time getting back into his usual routine, due to a new nemisis prowling arounnd in Miami. While ending with a slightly assumed clif-hanger, I am still excited for Jeff Lindsay's new Dexter novel due out September 7!

Book Review: Exile

Exile: A Novel by Richard North Patterson


My rating: 2 of 5 stars


When it comes down to the story of the book, it was good. But all the history and details of the story were what made it so long, and to me, what made it so boring. It took me over a year to get into it, and was never really interested in it. But I hate to leave a book half-read, so I had to finish it.

Read: The Second Short Life of Bree Tanner

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella by Stephenie Meyer


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This book was not bad, but I didn't really think it had all that much to offer to the series. Kinda wish I hadn't wasted $8.95 on it. The free version would have worked just fine.

Bree Tanner

By the way, I also got The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner last night while at Kroger. It was an impulse buy, but I can't wait to read it!




EDIT: I just saw on StephenieMeyer.com that you can read this book on her stupid website for free. Oh well, that's what I get for impulse buys. DANG IT.
