I have read several retakes on the Alice in Wonderland story. I do have to say that this one was well done. I picked it up because it was required reading for my 13 year old. The reimagining of the characters was pleasant as was it being a different storyline. This one will not disappoint…

Book 4 of the Alex Delaware series. The psychologist is at it again solving issues and sleeping with more women than James Bond. Given the time period the writing is understandable, however the female characters do remain cardboard cut outs / damsels in distress. I was hoping for a total different direction on the ending,…

If your looking for a step toward natural healing and an intro into alternative medicines, pick this one up. I like the idea of holistic healing and utilizing the herbs that have been effective for thousands of years. I like the balance that Dr. Weil puts forth that there is a place for all types…

This is the third book in the Alex Delaware thriller series by Jonathon Kellerman. This I did not feel was as R rated, few scenes but still for a mature audience. I did enjoy the novel. It has good pacing and lots of twists as you unravel the plot. Presented in a believable fashion that…

To start off, this is not YA and a few of the parts were definitely R rated. That said, I still am enjoying the thriller series. The descriptions are balanced without the author being too verbose but giving just enough detail to give you a clear image. To me the ending was a bit rushed…

Well if you have read the other two books then of course you’ll need to finish it off. As with the other two it is a fun take on the Grimm stories. That said, the humor injected into various spots in this novel keeps it light even though it is very dark. Still sticking with…

This is a fun second novel follow up. If you enjoyed the first then the second will delight. Sit down and bundle up and follow Jack and Jill on a delight some adventure. As with Grimm stories there is a little blood and gore so would not recommend for really young children, but any over…

So this is the first novel I have read by Jonathon Kellerman. It is a little dated having been published in 1985. That being said it was still a fun thriller to read. The pacing was nice. I find it funny that it is a Doctor named Alex for those who follow my Alex Cross…

Hansel and Gretel retold in a different way. This time a series of stories from traditional Brothers Grimm. It is a bit gorey and I would not recommend it for younger readers. But if you have older teenagers they would enjoy it. The devil and a dragon even feature, which should delight any fantasy YA…

Interesting the style of writing and how it has changed since 1977. I have never read these, but really harkens to a Tom Sawyer type feel. Short and fun read and appropriate even for young children.
