Hide and Seek ReviewFirst off, I LOVE JAMES PATTERSON novels...however as long as 'Hide & Seek' is mixed in, then all bets are off. Patterson has an incredible talent for writing, and one of the best things about his novels are how he can get you involved in the lives of his characters, and how you even develop a liking for the bad guys as well...however in 'Hide & Seek' I just didn't care one whit about ANY character in this novel at ALL. It wasn't because I gave up on the story, either--nope, I read this entire story thinking that beyond the next page it was going to get better like his other brilliant Alex Cross novels. Now let me say one other thing, I DO NOT judge this or ANY other novel by Patterson based upon his previous novels, other than he has written so many great books, I figured even a poor book by Patterson was better than some other author's BEST work...not so here, unfortunately.
'Hide & Seek' cannot be compared to ANYTHING else that I had read by Patterson simply because it seemed as though it was written by another person altogether. Maybe I am so much of a fan of Alex Cross that I can't read anything that DOESN'T have him in it...but I discounted that theory because I have many other favorite authors who sometimes stray from their main carry-over characters and it has never presented a problem for me in the past, so I was just stumped here. Well maybe, just MAYBE it was because 'Hide & Seek' was simply not Pattersons best work...? I would like to think otherwise, but I think that this is the ONLY explanation that seems to make any sense to me. For those who liked this novel, not only do I envy you (because I really WANTED to...) I wonder why you actually DID? But in any case, I STILL think that Patterson is one 1st rate author (despite this book).`Hide and Seek Overview

Defining Moments ReviewThis author is _very_ creative. I've been reading his works off and on for the last year, and each novel I read is better than the previous! He has wonderful prose, and weaves a tight story, often with a bit of fun thrown in here and there. If you have a kindle, he is a must-have author -- you get a LOT for your money from this guy, and he does not take shortcuts and is more than willing to take a lot of time to properly tell his story. Some of his books are fairly long, which is more than fine with me as long as my interest is tweaked (and it is with Mr. Niall). This collection of short stories is great reading indeed -- lots of different topics, and more than enough horror thrown in to keep anyone happy with the chills and thrills of a great storyteller. I still have a few books of his left to read, and I've been rationing them out -- but I know where to go for a good read! Thanks for another home run! Don't be unsure -- buy this -- you'll like it!Defining Moments OverviewDefining Moments is the award-nominated collection by author David Niall Wilson. This book collects a lot of stories written over a lot of years. It was first published by Welsh publisher Sarob Press. Defining Moments was nominated for the Bram Stoker Award as a collection.

In Search of the Fuller Brush Man ReviewHave you ever obsessed about something so much in life that it was impossible to explain your odd obsession to anyone else without them probably giving you a funny look or rolling their eyes at you? Or has there ever been anything in life that you just had to do for yourself (or possibly for someone else) despite the possibility of any repercussions from others?
That's exactly where Sean Marcum finds himself in the center of Douglas Carlyle's book, In Search of the Fuller Brush Man. Yep, it's a strange title that will probably make you think of Red Skelton, but also at the center of Carlyle's book is a story with lots of heart. Sean is obsessed with the last three words written in his dead mother's diary: Fuller Brush Man. He believes they are a secret message intended just for him.
He spends hours on the internet researching the company and the movie. He studies the credits of the movie, dates, and locations. His obsession is so intense that he falls asleep at his computer almost every night, in an office filled with useless Fuller Brush items.
This all causes great frustration with Sean's wife, Dixie, and also his daughter. Add to that the stress that Sean is having to deal with while working for the family car dealership. There's a commercial to shoot and a fundraiser to plan for, and then Sean gets a phone call notifying him that his high school sweetheart, Kim, has passed away from breast cancer.
Despite the demands of his family and his job, Sean feels he needs to go to pay his respects to Kim, and hopes another clue will reveal itself to the odd mystery bestowed upon him by his mother since Kim and his mother had remained close.
I have to admit this is not a book I would have ever picked up in a bookstore and bought on a whim to read. It's "mystery" aspect just wasn't enough to capture my attention, but after reading it I learned that Sean's search for the meaning behind the last words in his mother's journal is just a minor driving force behind Carlyle's book.
Sure, the reader eventually wants to know the meaning just as much as Sean does, and may be surprised with the results. But the true foundation of the book is respect and love. It's about the bond that a man shares with a woman - whether that be while courting each other in high school or eventually in marriage.
Carlyle creates real characters, layering them with complexities that we all know. Complexities of the heart. He even acknowledges a very healthy sex life between Dixie and Sean. I admit I blushed a bit at first, but later I appreciated it. It was a "peeping Tom" look into a marriage, a view that too often we don't see on the written page without sex being the middle of the conflict. Sean even goes to work and jokes about it to make Dixie's father uneasy.
It all comes very natural for Carlyle in a book that is impeccably polished thanks to his editor, Sandra R. Hickman (who gets credit on the book's Amazon page), and because the book is based on real life events that happened to Carlyle including his own high school sweetheart's death and the infamous last words of his mother.
If you are in search of a nice slow read with well drawn out characters and story lines that you can easily connect to and ponder long after the last page, might I suggest In Search of the Fuller Brush Man. It is a book with clean heart and truth that any person who knows the value of love and respect will appreciate. Well done!In Search of the Fuller Brush Man Overview
