Book Reviews

Note: While the links below lead to many of the mini book reviews on our site, it has become impossible to keep up.  This means that some reviews (mostly fiction) appear without benefit of categorization.  Unless one of us wins a lottery, this situation will continue indefinitely. NK

   

 

                                    

 

Our mini book reviews started out because I was not thrilled with the look of the quotation pages.  And of course I got the idea that we could sell a book or two, which wouldn't hurt the old balance sheet. 

Since I never bother to finish books I don't like, you will only find mini-reviews of books I really and truly recommend.*  If you disagree, feel free to let me know at nancy@greenlightwrite.com, but I'm the readaholic here.

And as a world class readaholic, I've probably read and enjoyed more books than you have miles on your car.  I will never live long enough to go back and list the good ones for you.  These reviews are only the tip of the tip of that iceberg.

This page is an attempt to put some order into the whole thing, but it's a work in progress.

PS  Once you get to the page with the review you are seeking, don't forget you have to SCROLL DOWN to it.  Sorry about the inconvenience.

PPS  Remember, these are reviews, short and sweet, not synopses of plots.  I don't recap plots.

PPPS  Jane Marie has graciously contributed a review or twenty.  See if you can guess which books she likes.

PPPPS  We NEVER sell review books.  If I like your book, I keep it.  If it's not right for me, I donate the review copy to the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Library Association's book sale.

Do you have a (horrors!!!) difference of opinion with Nancy? 

That's your right and privilege.  I speak as the fanatical reader of thousands of books of all kinds.  I read for entertainment and information.  So get your facts straight, and don't suggest I waste my time if the plot is poorly constructed, because even if the story is fantastic, I haven't got time for bad writing

And don't even consider sending me anything that hasn't been  edited by a real professional editor.  I recently read a promising book that needed an editor's touch.  When I suggested this to the author, she said she had already had the book edited!  Nancy

PS  Check your punctuation, people.  Even as I write this, I am looking at a thick volume that suffers from underlined words and punctuation mistakes - it's "1920s," not "1920's."  I'm not sure I have the stamina to read on.

"If the riches of the Indies, or the crowns of all the kingdoms of Europe, were laid at my feet in exchange for my love of reading, I would spurn them all."  Francois Fenelon

"I've given up reading books. It takes my mind off myself."  Oscar Levant

"Most writing is as obvious has a ham sandwich, but not nearly as nourishing."  Alan Weiss

"In books, it is the chief of all perfections to be plain and brief."  Samuel Butler

"Is it possible to read too many novels?"  Gillian Anderson
