Stash
by David Matthew Klein
Stash (6/3/2010)
I thought the main characters were self-absorbed and made some poor decisions. The first half of the book was slow, full of unnecessary details, and I had to force myself to keep reading it (never a good thing). The last third of the book was much more intriguing, I was anxious to find out what would happen next.
The Wives of Henry Oades: A Novel
by Johanna Moran
The Wives of Henry Oades (12/22/2009)
Very good historical fiction! The storyline and characters are well developed. I would recommend this book, especially for book groups. The moral quandary Henry, Nacy and Margaret find themselves in would surely elicit an interesting group discussion.
The Elephant Keeper
by Christopher Nicholson
Good Coming-of-Age Story (6/9/2009)
The Elephant Keeper is a coming-of-age story about two elephants in England and their young keeper. The author does a wonderful job of personifying the elephants, I really cared about what would happen to them! A well written, compelling story...it will change how you feel about zoos and their inhabitants!
