Juliet
by Anne Fortier

Gets better and better (8/4/2010)

I have to admit, when I first starting reading, I thought I had it figured out and was going to be bored for the rest of the book. I was WRONG ... I liked being surprised with new facts throughout the book, and especially since not pulled out of thin air, just to make the …more

Heresy
by S.J. Parris

very good (12/17/2009)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. With Christmas things to do, I still made sure I found the time to read this, it moved along quickly and kept me interested with the twists. Hard to predict the outcome. I will read more from the author.

The Year of the Flood
by Margaret Atwood

ended too early (8/6/2009)

This book has good character development, but I kept waiting for the story to get going, and then it ended. I would of liked more of the "current year", even if it meant a longer book. I felt like she wrapped things up too early and too neatly.

Cheating at Canasta: Stories: Stories
by William Trevor

Great Stories of Daily Life (11/14/2007)

I enjoyed all the stories in this book. Each story shows you make decisions everyday, and how these decisions lead to another and effective you at some point in your life. No matter how big or little.

The Book Thief
by Markus Zusak

A wonderful book (9/20/2007)

I found this book to be wonderful. I am not sure if it is a child's book, I think my 12 year would have had a hard time with it. I finished the book in 2 days while on vacation, I could not put it down. The author made me feel like I was part of the family, living with …more
