Book Review: The Complete Idiot's Guide - The Ultimate Reading Lists



The Story

Great reads for busy people.
This is a guide to help busy people find great reads in fiction and non-fiction. Filled with recommendations of popular, entertaining reading, this book covers mystery and suspense, romance, women’s fiction and chick lit, westerns, science fiction, such nonfiction topics as animals, art, biography, memoirs, business, true crime, and more. Plus, each entry includes a summary of the book, its significance, and a critique/observation/comment. – amazon.com



The Deal

Consider this the “Top Ten Books About_________(fill in the blank). Really. The authors have chosen their lists of books that represent the best of a number of categories, including fiction and nonfiction and every sub category in between imaginable. Just like any awards show or ranking of best of all time series, you will find yourself going, “I cannot believe that is on there (or NOT on there).”
However, in these 320 pages you will also find many ideas for that next great read.

The Bottom Line

My wife is a fanatical reader. She took this book from me and got a lot of ideas on books to check out from this selection. Really she should be the one writing this, but, as is life. It is a solid MUST HAVE for anyone that owns more books than DVDs and is always thinking about what to read next. It should be available at every library at the entrance.


The Quote
“Best Fiction in Horror (that involves cats).”
