Salmon Fishing on the Yemen, by its title, does not evoke a “rush to the theater” reaction, eh? But I’ll say it’s certainly worth a Red Box. The flick is simply a fun, light movie. Emily Blunt brings her charm, and what I noticed most about Ewan McGregor was his breadth as an actor with…
Enjoyable enough thanks mostly to the interesting first third of the story. Sadly, the last third of the book felt forced and trite. The interesting half of the story simply drops off—as if the author tired of that story line or simply did not know how to present it. Beginning a book with two distinct…
Fast & easy summer read exploring dynamics of two sisters and finding one’s life even after 40. I have tried to read some of the “Chick-Lit” books about girls in their 20s, but really, they are girls in their 20s.

Traditional Dan Brown, and a great suspenseful read. This is the book that originally introduced Robert Langdon, and he’s as fun in this story as in The Davinci Code. Angels and Demons is a page-turner and a quick read. (I picked it up with barely a week before the movie’s premier and easily finished it.)…
Informative and interesting, this book did a nice job explaining how much power the jury has and how difficult it can be for jurors when faced with a battle of experts.
Fun book and a perfect read for the first week of my summer.

The story in this tale is fun and fast and silly and outlandish—full of unbelievable sets of coincidences…
Basic Patterson Women’s Murder Club—entertaining, exciting, and perfect for a long drive!
Great light summertime ladies’ “fluff”/beach read. It’s not about changing the world, just about taking a break and being entertained. Single, married, divorced—has it all for the 30/40something woman.
