A funny an interesting read for any dog lover or anyone who has ever been interested in the Iditarod. Enjoyed it very much and it had me laughing out loud at parts and welling up with tears at others.

I really enjoyed this book and it's characters. The themes provide excellent material for bbok club discussion. Highly recommended!

If I hadn't had the audiobook to intersperse with reading, I don't think I could have gotten through it in one month. The first 300 pages are like a Greek history lesson mingled with the family backstory. And since the author adds in allusions of what's to come, there really aren't any surprises. It was an ok read, but I didn't love it. If it hadn't been a book club pick it probably would have taken me months to get through it.

I simply prefer books where something happens and nothing really did in this one. Without having the audiobook to intersperse with the reading I wouldn't have made it through.

The Hunger Games is an amazingly creative concept for a book (or series of books). It's not something I would have picked up on my own and I'm so glad it was a book club choice. Well written, fast paced, addictive adventure that will have you heading to the store for the next one the minute you put it down!

Fun, easy to read and good all around for book clubs. This is not an in-depth story about the lives of the characters, just a general overview of some interesting things that happened to the main character so you don't get emotionally attached, but you do have fun. Almost made me want to leave the city and buy a ranch. Almost.

This was my least favorite of the series. I suppose the author does address the very real concept of post traumatic stress and war. However, Katniss spends a significant amount of time being sedated or unconcious, which makes for a slow read to what could have been another fast paced adventure.

I thought this book was pretty good for a YA novel. At first I hated the feeling of reliving high school and having this inside look at the mean girls. After the initial story line gets laid down, I found it much more relatable. The lessons are obvious and some of it is hard to read, but in a way, it gives you hope that deep down, there's a decent person inside everyone.

I liked it, but it lagged in the middle for me. Using the audio book to supplement got me going again and interested in FLW's work. Unfortunately, a premature search on the internet to get a glimpse of his buildings spoiled the ultimate ending for me. So don't do that if you aren't already familiar with his story.

I loved the fact that it ignited the desire to know more about FLW's life and architecture. I spent several hours researching homes he built and finding those that are closest to me. Perhaps one day I will take some tours as I am now more interested in his architecture. Worth the read...I'd give it 3.5/5 if BKMT allowed half stars.

This was a very interesting read. We tend to think of people who lived in the time of Hemingway as so much more old fashioned, but this novel sheds light on the forward-thinking minds of that generation. It made me want to learn more about Hemingway and his life, loves and literature. I'd like to one day get around to reading his works. Definitely worth a read and well written.

Beautifully written, funny, smart, introspective. This book puts some wonder back in the world. There were only a few parts where it lagged a bit for me. I loved it, but I don't know if I would recommend it to a pregnant woman that were even the tiniest bit nervous.

The writing style of this book is very different and creative. It takes a little getting used to, but once you're into it, it is very engaging. I can see why some people didn't like the narration, but I think it would have totally changed the story without it. I don't think this book should be catagorized as YA simply because the main character is a young girl. This is a story for all ages and is deserving of the awards it received. It also generated good discussion at book club.
