My Reviews
This book was very capivating. The reader doesn't know who the killer is until the detective does.
I didn't totally dislike the book but I didn't like it either. Somewhere between the two. It does give you a lot to think about and could be a good discussion book. Maybe it was just me, but I felt like there was something lost in the book.
The reader gets to follow the American heiress in her quest for independence and growing up. Cora (the heiress) has to navigate the differences in society from America and England, how money can ruin love, and how to survive in her marriage.
A wonderful book. It allowed one to see the real person that Marilyn Monroe was. It clearly laid out what happened to Marilyn in her final months.
Probably not the best book club book but would be possible.
I really enjoyed reading the Historian. The story pulled some aspects from Mary Shelley\'s Frankenstein and some aspects from Ann Radcliffe\'s novels.
The Painted Veil follows Kitty\'s decisions about her life and their consequences. While learning more about what she wants from life, she has to learn how to read the action of others too.
This book provided a good discussion for our club. We used questions from a reading blog found on Google.
I really enjoyed reading \\\"Agnes Grey\\\". It is a very enjoyable story which transport you to another time.
In a round-about way, Agnes Grey reminded me of Jane Austen\\\'s \\\"Mansfield Park\\\" because the main character is always on the outside looking in.
I didn't like it but I didn't dislike it either. I think this would be a better audiobook to try than a reading book. Reading it seemed to lack the personal interaction especially the stories that are harder to believe.
This is a story of one little girl learning how words can affect ones life. She has to learn who she can trust with her secrets.
I enjoyed reading the book. The characters are interesting and at the end you are wanting them to succeed. This is early on in the civil rights era.
The book has a "soap opera" feel to it. The characters are interesting.
I really liked the book. I was worried when I started it that the first chapters were sort of scattered. Once the story got started it was easier to follow. But the characters are good. It is eccentric and sweet.
It was a well written novel. The main character was very progressive for her times but sometimes in Infuriating.
Don't look up character in internet search before reading the book! What I did find interesting is the 3rd sister who lives with Mamah in the book looks to be fictional. It was interesting to see that the author felt the children needed a mother figure.
It was a great read. It had one guessing what happened in main character's pass up until the end.
Cecilia is what I would term "the perfect wife". She doesn't seem to crack under pressure until she reads the letter her husband wrote years ago. The story follows how her decisions after reading the letter affect others around her.
This book keeps ones interest.
This isn't an easy book to describe without giving too much away. So, my best description is quirky.
Maud has dementia (or a similar disease) and we follow Maud as she tries to figure out what happened to her beloved friend. This triggers in Maud's memory when her sister Sukey went missing after World War 2.
