Origin: A Novel
by Diana Abu-Jaber
The reviewers are right! (8/22/2007)
The protagonist in this book is so well drawn that the plot is almost secondary. I cared so much for her and about her. Well written with an unusual plot twist. As a California transplant who was raised in "snow country," her descriptions of winter in Syracuse were almost enough to send me running for a comforter.
I really loved Lena and love this author. Give this book a try. You won't be disappointed!
Turning Angel
by Greg Iles
Fast- Paced Thriller (12/7/2006)
I've not read Greg Iles before. This book drew me in early and kept me on the edge of my seat for the 48 hours it took me to finish it. Over the top, but what a great ride. I highly recommend this book as a fast-paced, guilty pleasure. Nothing deep here, just good diversion. Try it. You'll like it!
