Patrick Davis "followed his dream" and wrote a screenplay called "They're Watching". Patrick sold it and was placed on the set, not as a consultant, but to babysit the star. His so called "dream life" disappears when the studio sues him over an alleged altercation with the star. He also starts receiving DVD's that show that he and his wife are basically being stalked by video. He asks for police butfinds he must go it alone because the DVD's erase themselves after viewing, and he cannot connect the actions to anyone. He starts receiving e-mails that ask him to perform certain tasks. These tasks seem to be helping people, and Patrick becomes confused as to why this is happening to him. Digging deeper and deeper into his dilemma, he finds that the people his is helping are shams. Matters start getting out of hand when he contacts these people and they are found murdered. The police now have Patrick listed as a prime suspect, or if nothing else destined for the loony bin. Patrick and his wife now must discover a way to find out what is happening to them, why it is happening to them, and must do this with little help, if any, from the police, and a lot of interference from their foes. It seems no matter what Patrick does he is either in the wrong place at the right time or the right place at the wrong time. "They're Watching" is a well put together mystery/thriller that will have you guessing from front page to back page.

I just finished listening to the latest installment of the Demonica series. I enjoyed the story of Con/Sin, an interesting pairing of the only female Sem and half warg/vampire guy. There was also a nice preview of Larissa's next book, Eternal Rider on the audio book. The details: Narrator: my least favorite of the three narrator chosen for these books so far. She sounded a little too sweet to be Sin, not enough sarcasm. Dirty: Very dirty :), like the other Demonica's this doesn't disappoint in the "situations" category. There are plenty,not just with Con/Sin but some of the side characters in the book which in my opinion keeps it interesting. Standout scene: There is a situation with snow...I would have never thought of but Larissa went there.

In many professions today, there's a lot of talk about striving for "work-life balance." Although focused on a balance between our work and personal lives, the ultimate goal is to improve and broaden the quality of life. Yet more than 2,000 years ago Aristotle recognized that balance was the key to living the best life we could. His concept of the so-called "golden mean" was that we achieve happiness, both for ourselves and society, by finding a proper mix between the extremes of excess and deficiency. That concept not only gives rise to the title of Annabel Lyon's first novel, The Golden Mean: A Novel of Aristotle and Alexander the Great , it is one of several Aristotelean ideas the book facilely explores. In fact, Lyon's work is almost deceptive in the way its provides the reader an entertaining entree to many of Aristotle's ideas without the reader necessarily knowing they are exploring them. Although historical fiction, The Golden Mean provides not only a highly readable compendium of Aristotelean thought but, with the exception of one series of events created out whole cloth, also Aristotle's life. As the title suggests, the book is set during the period Aristotle served as the tutor to the teenage boy who would become Alexander the Great. Yet the reader is not limited to Aristotle's discussions with Alexander. In fact, as Aristotle narrates the story, many of the ideas and insight come from his interactions with others and his memories. It also shows what Aristotle the polymath Aristotle, a man as interested and versed in empirical research in biology as abstract ideas in philosophy and ethics. The idea of extremes is replete in the work. On the one hand, there is Alexander, ambitious and intelligent. On the other hand, there is his half-brother, Arrhidaeus, mildly retarded or brain damaged and whom Aristotle also seeks to teach. On the one hand, Alexander chomps at the bit to become a military leader. On the other hand, post-battle he seems to suffer symptoms akin to what we call post-traumatic stress disorder. On the one hand, Alexander seeks to and will wield power to expand the Macedonian empire. On the other hand, he asks Aristotle at one point, "To make the unknown known, isn’t that the greatest virtue, the greatest happiness?" Aristotle himself is an example of searching for the mean between extremes. Although he ponders deep philosophical issues in a world that worships a pantheon of gods, he finds divinity in the natural world and science, whether biological or mathematical. Moreover, in several passages Aristotle recounts how he struggles with swings from "black melancholy to golden joy." In fact, Aristotle's descriptions suggest he suffers a form of bipolar disorder. Is all this historically accurate and plausible? Certainly not. But since when does learning about philosophy and history require complete and total adherence to what might be a sparse historical record? In fact, fiction provides an opportunity unlike any other to explore thoughts, concepts and ideas through different eyes and perspective. That the characters actually existed doesn't negate that value. To the contrary, it may bring us to a better understanding. The key is achieving balance between fact and invention. The Golden Mean is an admirable example of finding the mean between excess and deficiency in historical fiction. (Originally posted at A Progressive on the Prairie.)

I loved this book and its resolution. I could see social studies teachers using this series (and especially this book) to discuss systems of government. Highly recommend.

One of my very favorite picture books Ever. "The moment my foot steps in one country, my heart starts longing for the other...." This was given to me several years ago by a good friend--it was such a great gift.

Not a romance at all... A vengeange tale instead. It is said that the vengeange is a dish to be served cold. So thinks also Dale who was used and misused eight years ago and now he is searching his way with Preston, the very man who has broken his body, but not his heart. Dale was not in love with Preston, and what the man did to him has only left him furios and hunger for repayment. If there was love, maybe now Dale can feel pity for Preston, an old man in search of love. Instead he has only hate for him and no love. A very short tale, but the character of Dale is worth of more: maybe Skylar Sinclair will tell us the story of Ray? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001405YVU/?...

Hilarious book -- one of the funniest books ever written. A little too romantic for me, but I can overlook that.

I'm sorry. I know there are a lot of problems in Africa. I understand that many people have really hard lives, and that war and rape are endemic in a lot of areas. I believe refugees should be given a chance to escape that strife if they can, instead of being deported right back into it. But I'm not going to let my First World white guilt make me pretend that Little Bee is a good book. There are so many problems with this book, where do I begin? The dialogue felt unnatural, the story seemed contrived, and the prose was so trite I almost gagged. I couldn't relate to any of the characters or their relationships with one another. To make matters worse, I listened to this as an audiobook, and the reader's voice became incredibly grating after about two chapters. I didn't totally hate Little Bee. I give it two stars because I feel like there was something here, buried under all the crap I just mentioned, that could have been good with a better author and developmental editor. Unfortunately, the thing's already been published, and we are now stuck with what we have.
