Highly enjoyable for anyone who has an interest in Captain Cook, which I totally do, and I admit it biases me in favor of this book. But I've enjoyed Horowitz's other books, and I think his narrative style - a combination of observation, complaint, and information - would work even for a non-Cook-obsessed person.

I enjoy read Crichton's novels for his creative use of the science fiction and thriller genre, dinosaurs roaming the modern day world, modern day archaeologists travels back in time to 14th century France...but this book at 415 pages long was perhaps his worst. Normally, his books, to me at least, were page turners but this book had so many characters and plots that I lost interest in the lives of these folks. I understood what he was getting at with his take on the patenting of genes and the business of gene therapy and what not that had he focused on the two families, the Burnets and the Kendalls the book could have been a solid, enjoyable thriller to read.

What a great Dresden Files book. I really liked where the story has been taken. I know I have gotten behind in my Dresden Files reading but I really liked this story and I am glad that I went back to finish this book after I lost it when I was 3/4 of the ways through it. The pace is good and action fun and the story just moves forward and kept me interested. This is Butcher's 9th Dresden book and unlike other writers that keep writing and writing for the sake of publishing books, George I am looking at you, Butcher finishes the story and you could walk away from the story line and you would be okay. But would I, not yet and I am going to the book store soon to get the next Dresden book. I hope to catch up soon.

Hell if I know what "love" is, this novel invokes the word several times, usually justifying a murder. But lust is familiar to us all, and it drives this plot like Pappy Crackpipe on his old-timey monster truck. Really this story is consumed by the obvious wtf elements that bring men and women together: lust, jealousy, security, baby-making. And how each of these weapons can be deployed for a great story, which in this case ends in the death of all the principals, after a brief dunk in the cooling bath of our crooked legal system. Two cats (one electrocuted during the first caper, the second an emaciated puma) are the poles framing the plot (Cain's explicit about this) -- but what are cats but solitary hunters and neck-biting rapists? And then we get this: "'Rip me! Rip me!' I ripped her. I shoved my hand in her blouse and jerked. She was wide open, from her throat to her belly." Whereupon the narrator right-hooks her, giving her a shiner. I don't think Cain was kinky -- but sure as Jones he knew how marriage worked and what extremes were required (in women's fantasies) to end them. The entire novel is framed as a death row confession -- in other words this is probably a reliable narrator -- but finally you wonder what he was really on about. Other than that lust is reality and "marriage" is a fiction.

Wow this book was amazing and truly heart breaking. I had tears in my eyes at quite a few spots during the book. The main character was very relatable, and I enjoyed being able to go on the journey of what she was going through. I recommend this to anyone, it really brings up points that can't be missed and reminds you never to take anything in life for granted.

I am a big fan of the David Lagoon character, so I was very disappointed when I found out how much this underutilized him. Overall enjoyable read, did not see all the twists, but not as engaging as the first book.

Ecstasy Wears Emeralds by Renee Bernard Book #3 in Jaded Gentleman Series Grade: B- “How am I to prove that a woman has the disciplined mind necessary to become a doctor if I turn into a giggling pool of idiocy the first time I see my teacher’s rugged good looks? Who cares if the man has broad shoulders or if he’s tall? He’s a skilled physician and possesses what I need to move forward. Who’s to say the devil wasn’t the most attractive angel of all before he revealed his wicked heart and fell from heaven?’ After losing her sister and father to cancer, Gayle Renshaw is determined to become a physician and will stop at nothing to achieve her goal. She decides to runaway to London where she knows of the only physician who might take her on as an apprentice, Dr. Rowan West. Dr. West used to be engaged to her cousin Charlotte and all of their family believes that he is at fault for Charlotte’s death. Armed with this information Gayle sets out to blackmail Rowan into taking her on as an apprentice but they more time they spend together she realizes Dr. West is not at all what her family has made him out to be. Dr. Rowan West has been meaning to take on an apprentice for quite some time but he never expected Gayle Renshaw to try and fill the position. Gayle’s work ethic and determination soon surpass Rowan’s expectations of her and he soon finds himself caring about her way more then he should. As he past comes back to haunt him, Rowan must band together with The Jade, his group of friends that survived The Trouble in India. Together they must stop whoever is coming after them and Rowan must find a way to convince Gayle to fall in love with him as much as he has fallen in love with her. Ecstasy Wears Emeralds was a great big breath of fresh air in a big stack of so-so historical romance novels. Lately I seem to only be reading historical romances and the majority have been quite bad and not very fun to read. This novel was the exact opposite. It was a very quick, fun and very enjoyable book. I felt that there was a lot going on but not so much that I got lost or confused. I found myself liking Gayle and Rowan both very much as individuals and as a couple. I loved Gayle’s independent streak and how she was so determined to become a physician even though everyone told her it was impossible. I did get a little annoyed with her towards the end when she was dealing with her relationship with Rowan but she straightened herself out quickly. I really enjoyed hearing Gayle and Rowan talk about how men and women were treated so differently back in the 1850’s by doctors and how most illnesses were thought to be women’s fault. I felt like I actually got a little history lesson with some romance and I loved it. The one thing that I really struggled with while reading was the Jaded Gentlemen. I would have never known this was a series until the Jaded was brought up and my main issue was that when it was brought up you were just expected to know about them and what had happened in previous books. I was very confused about what happened in India years before and why someone was after the group of six and trying to kill them. Everything finally does get explained but not until the last fifty pages or so. I feel that this could have easily been explained early in the story and I wouldn’t have been so confused and kind of annoyed. This is the main reason that I didn’t give the book a higher grade. Ecstasy Wears Emeralds is a very good historical romance but if you are going to read it i would recommend reading books one and two in the series before reading this one. I don’t think this book can be read as a stand alone but from the plot and writing style I think the series could be a very good one. If you enjoy a good historical romance, a strong female character and some steamly love scenes this is the book for you.

India is a very diverse country. We cant copy business model from outside world and apply it in India, specially in the retailing space. Every business needs to take into account the demography of the country. Also, its time that we put the customer as the prime focus, and all processes should be kept with customer in mind.

I read this book once. It was strangely hitting a little too close to home at the time, with the talk of lost memories and hospitals. I'll have to read it again sometime to get a more honest review. Ok. I read it again a year or so later. It is a very good book, different from some of Murakami's other books, in that there is very little fantasy in it. So it's better or worse, depending on what you're in the mood for. It is a carefully and sensitively told story of the main character growing up, and learning how to deal with love, life, and tragedy (and Murakami's usual oblique commentaries on society). Common themes, but done in a honest, very well crafted, and compassionate manner in this book. I don't say "I really liked it" just "liked it", because the setting and plot elements are still a bit hard for me to read at times. Memories. Other than that, though, it's an excellent book.
