Raising Wrecker
Raising Wrecker: A Novel
by Summer Wood
Sometimes it is Nice to Read About Good People (11/23/2010)
This was a page-turner from the opening of the book until the ending. It is nice to read about good people doing good things for each other. Wrecker is a little boy whose adults have failed him. He is lucky enough to be taken in by some of the most engrossing, kind-hearted …more
Stash
Stash
by David Matthew Klein
Um, Okay (5/24/2010)
I'm sure there is a great story inside of David Klein (the author); however, this book moved along ever so slowly and then, BAM! it was over. The ride to the end was all over the place. The dual story lines did not work well in this particular book and neither story was …more
The Handbook for Lightning Strike Survivors
The Handbook for Lightning Strike Survivors: A Novel
by Michele Young-Stone
Must Read, Seriously!! (5/16/2010)
Remember as a child you had that one favorite fairy tale that you had your mom read to you over and over again??? This book is in that class.
I loved this book. It flowed from the first sentence to the very last word. The two main characters, Buckley and Becca, are not only …more
The Russian Dreambook of Color and Flight
The Russian Dreambook of Color and Flight
by Gina Ochsner
One of those Books that Leaves a Mark (12/15/2009)
I loved this book! And why, because it was simple, well-written with extraordinary language, and just one of those books you hate to finish. The main characters are strong, real women who face day to day in regular ways. There is no super powers or descriptions of snide out …more
The Lieutenant
The Lieutenant
by Kate Grenville
Um, yeah if I was in Leavenworth... maybe (9/23/2009)
So, yeah. This book started off reallllly slow. Then just when you thought, hey something is going to happen... nothing happens. But if you suffer from insomnia this is the book to take to bed. Or if you are locked up for a really long time and have read everything else in …more
The Secret Keeper
The Secret Keeper
by Paul Harris
Sometimes escaping from your zone can be rewarding (3/11/2009)
I, like many of the other reviewers, was unsure about this novel. I read to forget and achieve a sense of calm... and this book did not do that for me. It was fast-paced and the language kept me intrigued. I was horrified by the slums and constant warfare, but also felt it …more
Something Like Beautiful
Something Like Beautiful: One Single Mother's Story
by Asha Bandele
Single mothers might want to stone her (12/3/2008)
If you are looking for a book about a strong woman who sacrificed everything to take care of her daughter alone... this is not the book for you. If you are a single mother and looking for a person to relate to that has struggled like you have and survived.. this is not the …more
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
by Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows
This is a MUST Read!!! (7/27/2008)
I have always heard of those people that read a book in two days or stayed up all night to finish a book, and I always thought what show-offs. But now I know what they mean. After receiving this book on Thursday I could not put it down. I seriously considered calling in …more
Killer Heat
Killer Heat
by Linda Fairstein
Killer Heat Kills in A Good Way! (3/10/2008)
Let me start out with the words every book reader wants to hear... Great Ending!! The author keeps the reader enthralled throughout the book throwing in clues here and there towards her finale. The last 15 pages are by far the best I have read in a long time. The only …more
The Invention of Everything Else
The Invention of Everything Else
by Samantha Hunt
The Invention of Everything (1/18/2008)
Magical. The words,the actions, the emotions, transforms you into the author's world in a blink of an eye. And what a world it is...the characters are well written and the story catches you from the first word and keeps you hanging until the last. I read this book as I …more
