Title: I Just Want My Pants Back
Author: David Rosen
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Fiction:Humor
Description:From Publishers WeeklyJason Strider, the slacker-hero of former ad-man and MTV series creator Rosen's screwball debut novel, is a recent Cornell grad more interested in marijuana, booze and quick lays than his boring job or romantic relationships. The carnal drought he's been experiencing is mercifully ended early in the book with a bout of athletic sex involving his refrigerator and a bar pickup named Jane, who departs after a second hook-up wearing his favorite pair of Dickies. His quest, then, to retrieve the pants occupies the bulk of the book. Along the way, Jason gets assists in the process of personal growth from his ailing next-door neighbor, Patty, and old Cornell buds Eric and Stacey, who ask Jason to perform their wedding ceremony. By the end of the tale, Jason has begun to mature and comes back into contact with his beloved pants in an unexpected yet appropriate fashion. Rosen deftly keeps the exploits of a shallow hero moving along-and more impressively, makes readers care what happens to his caddish narrator. br Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. FromHere's another in the long line of novels devoted to the mishaps of feckless young males struggling to get serious about life and love. The familiar story line is freshened up by its contemporary references, including conversations rendered via IMs and apt references to songs both old (Ray Davies) and new (White Stripes). Recent college graduate Jason Strider moves to New York City, where he works a day job answering phones and hits the bars every night after work. Alcohol and sex are at the forefront of his agenda until he is faced with two more serious issues. His best friends at college have asked him to officiate their wedding, and his next-door neighbor, Patty, who has partied away the best years of her life, is dying from lung cancer, alone though unafraid. Jason beds one girl after another, loses his job, and increases his already prodigious intake of drugs and alcohol before being jolted into sobriety by Patty's death. Their touching relationship and Jason's sharp sense of humor give this debut novel an edge in a crowded field, though it's not on a par with such classics as Bright Lights, Big City (1984) and High Fidelity (1995).

Title: Eye of Vengeance
Author: Jonathon King
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Mystery
Description:From Publishers WeeklyVeteran journalist King, the Edgar-winning author of the Max Freeman novels (_The Blue Edge of Midnight_, etc.), sets this edgy, brooding stand-alone in a milieu he knows well, the world of the professional crime reporter. Nick Mullins, who covers the crime beat for the South Florida Daily News, is still shattered two years later by the deaths of his wife and one of his twin daughters in an auto accident with a drunk driver. Obsessed with revenge, Mullins spends his off hours stalking the driver, who's just been released from prison after serving only 18 months. Mullins's reputation for honesty and integrity endears him to a devoted cadre of readers, including Michael Redman, an ex-cop and former military sniper who begins assassinating criminals Mullins has profiled. As the body count rises, it becomes clear that Redman is indeed working from a list, and that the final name will fulfill a personal debt that he feels he owes Mullins. While the plot unfolds predictably, King's crisp writing and insights into grief and loss give this novel a depth and poignancy unusual for a thriller. (May) br Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. FromStarred Review King, who won the Edgar Award for The Blue Edge of Midnight (2002), is a former daily journalist who brings both the newsroom and the field to vivid life in his Max Freeman series. His latest is a stand-alone tale about another newsman, Nick Mullins, a crime reporter for the South Florida Daily News. Mullins is a crime victim himself, having lost his wife and one of his twin daughters to a drunk driver. The scenes of Mullins trying to mimic a normal life with his surviving nine-year-old are harrowing. Pressures build for Mullins as he learns two things: the DUI offender who tore apart his family has just been released from prison, and another prisoner, en route to a courthouse plea, has been killed by a sniper. As Mullins investigates the sniper shooting, he learns that the killer has a hit list, all of whose victims have been subjects of Mullins' own stories. Tension skyrockets as Mullins fights to save his daughter and to surmount his own need for vengeance. Intriguing views of crime scenes from the media side of the tape, masterful plotting, and a credible, striving hero make this a winner. Connie Fletcherbr American Library Association. lt;
