My Reviews

Bossypants by Tina Fey
 
Fun, Boring, Interesting
Bossypants

The book was not very in-depth - you could open it at any point and read. It was funny and amusing but she did not include anything deep. I would imagine an autobiography would be more interesting and intriguing. I don't understand why she wrote the book!

The World We Found: A Novel by Thrity Umrigar
 
Book Club Recommended
Interesting, Informative, Dramatic
The World We Found

After a slow start, I did enjoy this book. The story became interesting enough that I couldn't put it down until I finished the book - always a big "plus" in recommending a book. It wasn't heart-stomping and there were no huge surprises, but it was an enjoyable read.

 
Poorly Written, Graphic, Romantic
Fifty Shades of Grey

I didn't enjoy this book. All the sex stuff was graphic, and I could live with that (haha), but I never understood (or it was not made clear) what each character was attracted to in the other. What did she see in him to fall madly in love?? Story substance was lacking. The same wordage was used over and over: "Oh my!" and the story never grabbed me (oh yeah, what story?). The only redeeming part of the book were their emails to each other.

Hope: A Tragedy: A Novel by Shalom Auslander
 
Boring, Pointless, Unconvincing
Hope: A Tragedy

Waste of time reading this book. I didn't enjoy it at all - only reason I finished it was because it was my book club's selection. Ridiculous, unbelievable characters.
