Do you need an entertaining and action-packed book for your summer reading? This is it! A very realistically portrayed terrorist attack in an unusual setting provided me with a nerve-wrenching adrenalin rush. If you're into suspenseful thrillers, try this one on for size.

Martin Suter is a Swiss author, and his works came highly recommended to me by a couple of friends from that country. Normally I'm politely reluctant to read books that have been translated from German to English, even one that came as a gift as did this one, as many of them have turned out to be dry and somewhat disappointing, but this author's A Deal with the Devil is a diabolical tale was skillfully translated by British journalist and author Peter Millar. My friends had said that I wouldn't be let down, and I wasn't.

this is the 2nd book of the Matt Davis Series that i read after stumbling across this talented author. although As the Twig is Bent will keep you guessing, this book was much easier to stomach. i think i figured out the killer before i figured out which one the victim would be! fast paced, easy read, easy to relate to & identify with characters. looking forward to the 3rd book of the series to come out.

“Stevens’s blazingly brilliant debut introduces a great new action heroine, Vanessa Michael Munroe, who doesn’t have to kick over a hornet’s nest to get attention, though her feral, take-no-prisoners attitude reflects the fire of Stieg Larsson’s Lisbeth Salander….Thriller fans will eagerly await the sequel to this high-octane page-turner.” —Publishers Weekly, starred, boxed review

I have taught English 102 this semester (Fall 06) using this text and find it both professor and student friendly. I love the organization, the division of genres, critical thinking approaches, etc. The interspersing of photographs, art, and the culturally diverse offerings in terms of literary examples make for an experience that is memorable all around.

This is my all time favorite pattern book!! If I could only afford one pattern book, I hope that is not so, this would be it! Loaded with 250 pages of patterns for patchwork, appliqué and many are easily adaptable to foundation piecing. Blocks are shown in 4" size but I have enlarged them on a copier with great success. Each of the blocks are shown in clear concise color photos.
