The Leftovers: A Novel
by Tom Perrotta
Hopefully not "Leftover" on the remainder shelves (8/15/2011)
I had previously read Little Children by the same author. I really enjoyed the style, structure, themes and was looking for something else by him. The concept on this one sounded great. A possible Rapture occurs in which a number of people simply vanish. This leaves themore
Ten Thousand Saints: A Novel
by Eleanor Henderson
Not a Bad Read (5/9/2011)
I have to be honest and say it took me awhile to get into this one. The first 50 pages were a real struggle. In the end, I'd have to say that I enjoyed it. That being said, I felt that the story meandered. There were jumps and skips and parts that possibly could have been omitted.
