Outstanding
read! First time author deals with love and war during the
occupation of Hong Kong by the Japanese during WWII. Fascinating
history which I never knew intertwined with a great plot.

WOW!
This is the real thing! - Great Plot, unusual setting and marvelous
characters. You want somuch to follow the lives of Mikael and
Selander - but author Larsson died soon after submitting his novel -
Hopefully we will see them again.

It has been
awhile since I've read Le Carre. This is a very good spy novel. Set
in Germany where many terrorists gathered prior to 9/11. There is a lot to
this well-constructed plot. A real page turner!

Josh Bazell is
a new voice in the crime/medical mystery genre. Dr. Peter Brown gets
mugged before his shift at a Manhattan ER. This darkly comic tale is a
page turner! A doctor in witness protection from the MOB... who
would have guessed!

A
stunning book! Who knew that the keeper of the Warsaw Zoo and his wife
saved over 300 Jews from the Nazis by hiding them in the Zoo? We
learn about the Warsaw resistance and the truly crazy ideas the Nazis had
about animals. Also Ackerman writes beautifully!! Really a
perfect book!
