  Amazing First Work I am biased as a fan of Agatha Christie. I had never read this, her first novel and I was surprised at how well she crafted the story, the twists, the intrigue.
  
  Today's sophisticated audience can still be dazzled by the work she puts forth.
  
  As a footnote - I think Monk is clearly a modern day Hercule Poirot. I posted this on 04 October 2008

• How to Live on 24 Hours a Day finished

  Meh This was ok, but not very practical. I took note of the time it was written in my saying it was "ok." If you read it from a historical context you might be interested. At the time I signed up I was overwhelmed and hoping this would help me out. It did not really do that. I posted this on 24 September 2008

The Mysterious Affair at Styles - Amazing First Work

One more thing this was the first DailyLit book that I constantly found myself requesting the next installment and not waiting. It was a real page turner.

Ideas - Review vs. Forum

I am not sure the difference between a review or a forum post on a book. I have just read 3 books, but each one I "reviewed" two were in the forum's and that is tied to my profile, while my review in the third (most recent) doesn't show up in my profile. Also the rating system would be great to show off how a person rates things and for things unrated I could be prompted to rate them.

Art of Money Getting - Art of Money Getting Forum

This was a quick read and while I read this as my second book here, it was very accurate in terms of business today. I enjoyed this as a change of pace from fiction.

I also liked the historic nature of the author, gave it some perspective.

The Enchanted Castle - Just finished..first thoughts

I just finished this. The author writes from an older time with various capitalization stylings that strike the reader from start to finish.

The story ebbs and flows in terms of excitement and slower parts. You will certainly have a favorite character or too.

This was my first DailyLit book and I found the breaks very well positioned. Often times very cliff hanger like.
