I read that they are making this a movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Teddy Daniels and will be directed by Martin Scorsese. I am big fans of both so I decided to read this book. I was home sick yesterday and read the entire book in one sitting. I really liked it but wasnt sure about the...

This book recently won the Pulitzer Prize and I can see why. The book takes turns with different characters narrating (sort of like The Corrections) which sometimes I do not like. This is not one of those times though because every character was very interesting. The main character (Oscar...

Well I just finished it and I thought it was really good. I need to get a couple of things straight so please let me know if I got this right; Laura's baby's daddy was Richard right? How do you know it wasn't Alex's? Laura and Iris both had a sexual relationships with Alex? I believe...

Well I just finished it and I thought it was pretty good. I had never heard of this book until I joined this forum so thanks for the recommendation. The only thing I didn't like about it was the ending where they got there sight back all of a sudden. I was thinking the doctors wife was going...

It was pretty similar to the book only a few things were changed such as... SPOILER... In the book Chigurh ends up getting the money then hands it over to the guy who hired him but in the movie the Mexicans get it. In the movie Moss's wife comes to the hotel when he is murdered but in...

It was the best of trilogy's, it was the worst of trilogy's. Having just finished this "tril" as all the kids are calling them these days I was relieved to have finally finished them. This was the final book in the Border Trilogy and it had a pretty interesting story but once again in the end...

This was the second book in his border trilogy and it started out pretty interesting then got pretty boring to wards the end. I was a little disappointed to find out that John Grady (the star in All the Pretty Horses) was not in this book at all. I like my trilogy's to have the same characters...

Wow Blood Meridian sounds more my style. I cant wait to read it.

I recently read the Road and No Country for Old Men and really liked McCarthy's writing style so I thought I would give his Border Trilogy a try. I thought this book was pretty good and was very unpredictable. Whenever I thought the story was going one way it didn't. I like that. The only...

I thought this book was very interesting. It was a real quick read and kept my attention throughout the entire novel. I got a question for whoever read it. SPOILER Why did Wells let Chigurh kill him? I didn't understand that at all. I really liked the end where Chigurh had gotten...

ATSS was much better then the Kite Runner I believe. You can tell that Hosseini has evolved into a better writer with his second book. The Kite Runner was pretty good but some of the irony seemed a little corny to me like when his childhood Nemesis came back later in the book. I had a feeling...

I really enjoyed reading the Road. It was a very quick read which is good for me now and then. I know many people thought it was over-rated because it was an Oprah book and a Publizer Prize winner but I thought it lived up to both. I tell you it kills me being a straight guy who actually...

Let me start by saying Pillars is possibly my favorite book of all time so when I heard about this "follow up" book I was excited. It took me a few hundred pages to really get into this one but once I did I enjoyed it. World Without End was of course no Pillars of the Earth but I still thought...

I was not aware of the parallels either but I did really enjoy this book. My three favorite parts where; 1. When they discovered the elephant was trained in a different language. 2. When the elephant killed the man who was mean to him. 3. The end where the old man joined the circus again...

Hello everyone, I am fairly excited to have learned about this forum because every book fan needs a place to discuss them. I used to belong to a Myspace book club called the Fiction Files which was really great until one day the group was deleted out of nowhere :( Ever since I have been looking...
