There are action-packed summer books - in which, say, a shark attacks on the Fourth of July or a well-tailored man with a mysterious past throws wild parties - and then there is Sag Harbor (Doubleday; 273 pages), the new autobiographical novel by Colson Whitehead. Not much happens in Sag Harbor.

...usual spit and polish are on display in Monsters vs Aliens, directed by Rob Letterman (co-director of Shark Tale) and Conrad Vernon (co-director of Shrek 2). The movie imagines that in 1950 the government, fearful that the populace would freak out if it knew that monsters actually existed, put a top-secret plan into effect. General W.R.
