  Liam Devlin: Book 4

  The Eagle Has Flown

  by Jack Higgins

  • Rated 4 stars

  As is the case with many sequels, this wasn't as good as the original. Colonel Steiner wasn’t killed after The Eagle Has Landed. Liam Devlin got him out of England and together they go on to save Hitler’s life so Himmler couldn’t take control.

  1 1/2 stars. Rounded up because I did end up forcing myself to finish, when I seriously didn't think I could.

  Sense and Sensibility

  by Jane Austen

  • Rated 5 stars

  Captain Sir Roddy, R.N. (Ret.) wrote:
  From the start this novel just grabs you and off you go with Elinor and Marianne.

  I Travel by Night

  by Robert McCammon

  • Rated 4 stars

  Jeff Smith wrote:
  This is a short novel. Hopefully it is also the beginning of a new series from Robert McCammon. It is the story of a Vampire/Gunslinger who is trying to return to being completely human.

  Oleander Girl: A Novel

  by Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni

  • Rated 3 stars

  Dr. J. G. wrote:
  A bridge over two very different parts of the world, migrants bridge a huge distance and gaps in cultures, languages, diaspora. Writing about their own kind comes easy in one way, and difficult in every other - does one write for those one left home, those one is living now with, attempt to make it universal and that how, precisely? For any artist, any writer tells one of thoughts and emotions and visions relating to world and universe as seem from one's own stand, one's own viewpoint, and...
