The Sisterhood
The Sisterhood
by Helen Bryan
The Sisterhood by Helen Bryan (5/28/2013)
is no easy book to read. It's long, it's slow in places, and there are so many facts and references there is no way to keep track of them all. Besides, there are a host of characters who must all be acknowledged and remembered that it is a challenge to get through this …more
Flat Water Tuesday
Flat Water Tuesday
by Ron Irwin
Flat Water Tuesday - A Hit! (5/7/2013)
This is one good book! I know zilch about crew, and until now, could have cared less. The characters and the story have given me a new sport to cheer for. The protagonist, Rob Carrey, is a successful failure, a guy who tries and tries, and with every turn hits a roadblock, …more
The Caretaker
The Caretaker
by A .X. Ahmad
The Caretaker - WOW! (3/27/2013)
This is a hell of a book! When I first received it, I wasn't sure if I even wanted to read it, but after just a few pages, I was hooked. The protagonist, Ranjit Singh, a captain in the Indian army, a Sikh, faces so many tense situations I don't know how they all fit into …more
The Good House
The Good House
by Ann Leary
The Good House (11/30/2012)
The Good House is very good! Ann Leary has hit the nail on the head with Hildy Good with her snarky portrayal of a real estate agent doing her darndest to get listings and sell homes. The fact that Hildy is also a full-blown alcoholic trying to kid her kids into believing …more
Live by Night
Live by Night
by Dennis Lehane
LeHane - Wow! (8/9/2012)
Live by Night gets you right in the gut. Joe is attractive in a night-prowling animal kind of way. He is the guy girls want but most listen to Mom and stay the hell away from him. You know all along he is going to have the worst end but you still want to tag along and be a …more
Arcadia
Arcadia: A Novel
by Lauren Groff
Arcadia, by Lauren Groff (12/23/2011)
When I first began reading this book, my feeling was that the author was spending entirely too much time on the little boy Bit. As I continued to read, it dawned on me that the reason for loitering in his early childhood was to give the reader a feeling of what it was like …more
The Orphan Master's Son
The Orphan Master's Son: A Novel
by Adam Johnson
The Orphan Master's Son (11/6/2011)
“Citizens, gather round your loudspeakers …” – what a beginning to an absolutely fascinating story! Imagine having an announcement every morning, in your home, office, any building in the country, giving you the day’s news, recipes, stories, and a constant barrage of …more
The Homecoming of Samuel Lake
The Homecoming of Samuel Lake: A Novel
by Jenny Wingfield
An Edward R. Murrow subject - You Are There! (7/14/2011)
The Homecoming of Samuel Lake is high on my list of all-time favorite books! It reminds me of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle in many ways: the rural setting, the practical people, the children, and a good mystery woven throughout the story.

I found it very hard to put the book …more
Outside Wonderland
Outside Wonderland: A Novel
by Lorna Jane Cook
outside wonderland (2/9/2011)
Outside Wonderland is a most interesting book. Its point of view is unique, drawing on our natural curiosity: What happens to us after death? To our loved ones after we’re gone? Will we ever see those already gone before us? Will we see those we leave behind?

The characters …more
