VELOCITY - Dean Koontz (September 23/05)

Typically verbose Koontz novel with a heck of a premise. But you just wish he'd get on with it already. I did admire the quick demise of the villain, though. *** out of ****

JUST ONE LOOK (Harlan Coben) - September 23/05

Very entertaining thriller with plenty of twists and turns. And Coben can actually write ( rarity indeed in this genre). ***1/2 out of ****

JUST LIKE HEAVEN (Marc Levy) - September 23/05

Very silly but somewhat entertaining piece of fluff. Overly French moments are balanced with genuinely touching asides. **1/2 out of ****

KICK ME: ADVENTURES IN ADOLESCENCE (Paul Feig) - September 23/05

Extremely entertaining series of essays by self-proclaimed geek, Paul Feig. Many moments here ring true. **** out of ****
