Presently, a controversial flu vaccine is being grown using cancerous monkey cells. Millions of people were injected, or took orally, in the late 1950's and early 1960's, these doses of contaminated polio vaccines carrying the SV40 monkey virus, which causes multiple kinds of cancer. Today, most people now have SV40 monkeyvirus in their systems, but only in this book will you find the reason, why it was covered up, and its links to secret laboratories, murders, and assassinations.

This is an underground book sensation produced by a press famous for repressed books, but read the amazon.com reviews to see why this book is an important MUST READ.

Stained is well paced and builds to a horrifying climax. It is a harrowing, emotionally engaging story, and the prose is both well crafted and accessible. Whether you’re a teenager or adult, someone who struggles to read or finds it easy, Stained is an extremely satisfying read.

Stained is gritty and down to earth. If you’re looking for a real-world story to feel passionate about, I thoroughly recommend this book.

I loved the characters in this novel. There were many subplots that in the end explained the original storyline.

Summer Knight is the fourth book in the Dresden Series by Jim Butcher. Harry Dresden is a wizard who helps the Special Investigation unit of the Chicago police force investigate unusual crimes.

The Dresden series novels remind me of a cross between a grownup Harry Potter and a gumshoe detective story. In Summer Knight, Harry is attacked by faeries, hunted by vampires and called to appear before the White Council which oversees wizard behavior. Harry Dresden almost never has a good day. He is often attacked, aching and short on funds but Harry always tries to do the right thing.

The fourth book was my favorite so far – good amount of action and pretty fast paced. I also enjoyed the first book of the series. The second and third books moved a bit slower. I have just started book 5, Death Masks. Summer Knight will appeal to men and women alike.

Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult begins with a list of all the things you can do in nineteen minutes ending with - in Nineteen Minutes you can change your life.

In Nineteen Minutes, Jodi Picoult explores a young man going into his high school on a shooting rampage. She explores the young man's life and the lives of those around him. She also causes us to reflect on how our own expectations for the teenagers in our lives can mix with years of disappointment and torment by their peers to push a young person to desire relief through such an extreme action.

All is not what it seems and I found myself haunted by this book, so much so that more than a year after reading it, I am writing this review.

I like to read books that make me think, challenge my perceptions and stay with me. This book gets high marks in all these areas.

Lullaby is a book by Chuck Palahniuk, the author of Fight Club. The premise of Lullaby is the existence of a culling song, a song or lullaby that when spoken, song or even thought causes a painless death. When a culling song is included in a book of Poems and Nursery Rhymes from around the world, infants are dying.

Chuck Palahniuk writes modern day parables that are intriguing stories and so much more. He is a keen observer of pop culture and weaves his observations through the story line.

The book is 260 pages with short, quick paced chapters. I was completely absorbed by the book and found it invaded my dreams the night I finished it.

Definitely not a "warm and fuzzy" read but a book I find myself pondering days later.

A book I definitely could not put down. I am a busy mom and teacher and found myself reading it as I ate and as soon as I woke in the morning. Very good!! About a 15 year old girl at the turn of the century who has an affair with a married man and the ramifications of that affair!!

This books switches between present day England and a pirate ship on its way to Morocco in 1625. I found the book a delightful diversion from a cold New England winter.

I wanted to read this book before the movie comes out in May. I found it to be a real page turner. My husband and daughter liked it better than the DaVinci Code. I still like the DaVinci Code better but Angels and Demons is an excellent fast paced read.
