... my review of Andrew Klavan's latest Weiss and Bishop thriller: Thriller with literary flair, moral depth.
Two litbloggers have reviews also:
Patrick Kurp likes Ron Rosenbaum's The Shakespeare Wars: All about the Bard, one man's obsession.
But Edward Champion does not particularly like Stephen Elliott's My Girlfriend Comes to the City and Beats Me Up: Sadomasochism tales that come up short.
Glenn Altschuler likes Fortunate Son, Charles Ponce De Leon's life of Elvis: Elvis unrooted, nonetheless calling the shots.
And Sandy Bauers loved Siisy Spacek's reading of To Kill a Mockingbird: In new 'To Kill A Mockingbird,' Spacek delights as narrator.
Carlin Romano looks at Anthony Feinstein's Journalists Under Fire: Trauma, torment of war reporters.
Last week:
Mark Yost reviewed The Blog of War: A military Web log telling stories straight from the front.
Kathy Bernheimer reviewed Christopher Moore's A Dirty Job: Widower gets a new job, but the work can be a real killer.
Mark Sarvas reviewed A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines and The Man Who Knew Too Much: Two views of mathematicians gone mad.
And Nick Cristiano reviewed Perfect, Once Removed: A practically perfect season as Don Larsen's young cousin.
Finally, off the wires, a review of Dorothy Ours's Man o' War: Saga of U.S. hero slips at finish line.
That Klavan book sounds creepy --- good review. I bought a couple of his early books after some enthusiastic recommendations by Lars at Brandywine books, who is a major fan of Klavan and his pseudonym, whose alter ego name I forget. (Something like Keith Peters but can't be right as he is Regius Professor of Medicine at Cambridge University). Lars posted about having read and enjoyed the pseudonym and only later discovering the identity of the author --- very sweet. Have not got round to reading these books yet, sadly.
