Samsung BD-P1600 1080p Blu-ray Disc Player
I got this unit to replace an aging DVD player, relieve some stress from my PS3 and replace an older Netflix streaming video player. The price point for this unit makes it affordable to anyone wanting …

The Moses Expedition: A Novel [Hardcover]
The Moses Expedition has peaked my interest since it was announced, so I was happy to get the chance to read it early. While the story is interesting and has some action, it falls short of what I had …

The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist
I wasn't sure what to expect from The Rite, and found it refreshing that the book was not full of 'Hollywood' style descriptions and embellishments. We follow the journey of Father Gary as he trains to …

Dust and Shadow: An Account of the Ripper Killings
As a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, I was not sure how the author would come across in style and prose. Lyndsay Faye has done an outstanding job with the story, and if I didn't know better, I might think …

Safe at Home: Confessions of a Baseball Fanatic
If you love either Alyssa Milano or Baseball, you will enjoy reading this interesting view of baseball and the role it has played in her life. As a boy a few years younger than Alyssa, I watched her on …

The Strain: Book One of The Strain Trilogy
I found The Strain to be a decent vampire story. The authors present the story in a CSI style of detective work that teams up with a Van Helsing type of hunter. The Strain was a decent read, nothing earth …

Women Are Crazy, Men Are Stupid: The Simple Truth
I admit, I did not have super high hopes for this book, but I did expect it to be somewhat entertaining if not at least a tad enlightening. Unfortunately, it fails on both counts. It does have a few funny …

Sanctuary: The Complete First Season

Although the new AutoCAD LT 2010 may not offer everything its big brother does, it's a great choice if you only need to do 2D drawings.       +DWG is the most commonly used design …

The Book of Spies
I have never read anything from Gayle Lynds, but the blurb sounded interesting, so I took a chance. While it's been touted as Da Vinci Code meets Bourne Identity, I can't say that I completely agree. …

Blind Descent: The Quest to Discover the Deepest
I wasn't sure when I first picked up Blind Descent that I would like it. I mean honestly, how good can a book about caving be when you can't actually see the cave itself? After two days of forcing myself …
