Advantages: the language, narrating, catchy Disadvantages: I don't think there are any
Stephen King - Dolores Claiborne
This book was actually the first of Kings' I've ever read and maybe that's also why it's stuck in my memory the best and somehow had the most of impact on me. I think that's what books do, when you're a teenager and you read about stuff that could have pretty much happened to you, too. It's also the only of his books I've read in Czech instead of English and I feel compelled to look up the original version and get to it sometime soon as well.

Advantages: Potentially interesting location, a promising start from new author Disadvantages: Too easy to work out, main character a little weak
Having lately become a fan of Scandinavian crime fiction, I was browsing the shelves of my local bookshop looking for new authors to try when I stumbled across Mari Jungstedt: not literally you understand as that could mean the same brutal fate had befallen her as the tragic victims of "Unseen" her debut novel. It was the setting - the Swedish island of Gotland - that interested me in particular since the synopsis did not sound particularly remarkable.
The night after a party which culminated in an argument with her husband, Per, in front of their friends, the body of Helena and that of her dog, are found butchered on a beach on the island. When Per's fingerprints are found on the murder weapon the prosecutor instructs Inspector Anders Knutas to charge Per with killing his wife. But the Inspector is not entirely convinced and is ...
If you can get into Enya, then this is in my opinion the best of her 5 albums and is a very passionate and romantic album, which is great with a glass of wine, candles, nice food, an open fire, followed by...........
There is none and I challange anyone to argue with me, ok!!! (*)
