3 stars - Not his best. I can't stand when non-computer saavy writers try to write about the internet and USB drives, but still fun to read.

3 stars - pretty good - I liked his concepts of real estate as a marriage revitalizer, and anything about his brother. The european santa story was pretty funny too. a couple of times I laughed out loud, a couple of stories were kind of boring.

4 stars - I wish I could come up with the hypothesis and the data analyses to test the hypotheses that this guy comes up with. I loved the strategies for detecting cheaters, corruption in sumo wrestling.

3 stars - I listened to the audio book of this one, the production was great. The first 1/3 of the book would rate 5 stars, and the second 2/3 rates a 2 or 3 stars. He covers all the sciences, but the universe and the physics stuff (and the characters he talks about) are the best part of this book for me.

4 stars - cool private eye solves a pretty interesting mystery

3 stars - of the 3 dickson books I just read, this was the best. Still not as good as other books that talk about soldiering in space and training and advancement like Starship Troopers, or Forever war, or Old Man's War.

3 stars - I love Martin's Fire and Ice series so I'm reading all his other stuff. I liked the plot adventures, and I think he modeled this after Vance's demon princes stories (seemed similar in style), but I was actually kind of annoyed by Tuf's character.

3 stars - same as fearless.

5 stars - If you like war history, this was a good book. Gives some detailed accounts, as well as good background history.

2 stars - a little bit to "romance" for my tastes, but could be considered an interesting sci-fi mystery.

2 stars - I didn't find anything new in this fictionalization of historic events that weren't in the other two books.

5 stars - Its nice to finally find a well written and not too silly epic fantasy writer.

I just couldn't get into the writing style.

I didn't really like this much. Too much of a personal story, about someone I probably wouldn't have clicked with.

I liked his insights and practical application. Its certainly a perspective I hadn't heard before. I went and reviewed all my retirement accounts after reading this.

Good beginning, but a little too romancy for me. And the old guy, young girl thing is sketchy. I probably won't read the rest of these.

Weakest jack reacher book yet. There was no motivation, no pending danger, weak supporting characters. I almost didn't like it.
