Dan Brown
Even though 90% of the book is so far out there that it makes it almost too much to take, I enjoyed the action and adventure in the book and will probably see the movie that is coming out soon based on the book.
Joe Torre & Tom Verducci
I don't know what I was expecting out of this book, but I found it both interesting and somewhat frustrating. It didn't focus on Joe Torre as much as I though it would, and took some distractingly long detours in the narrative to talk about things such as steroids in baseball and the increased value placed on statistical information. There was one part where the author even uses virtually identical quotes from the same source within six pages of each other. So the writing wasn't as good as I was hoping it would but the subject is interesting enough to keep me reading.
Orson Scott Card
The third book in the Alvin Maker saga, and I have liked it the best so far. The action is finally getting moving and the reader is able to start seeing where the series is headed, as Alvin grows into adulthood and begins to realize his future destiny to a greater extent.
