The Glass Castle provides a story of two parents with monumental problems; then add four children into the mix and the story moves into the grim reality of children rearing themselves, essentially. No doubt the parents loved the children, but their own mental problems kept them from being good parents except on rare occasions when everything clicked for the parents. I found the story heartbreaking.

I read Twilight because I was interested in seeing how the story developed since I had heard a great deal about the series. I planned to read only the first book, but I learned that New Moon showed a new side to Jacob. Naturally, I had to read it to see for myself. Once I had read the first two books, I felt compelled to read the others. I teach Freshman Composition at a community college. I noticed that many of the in-coming freshman girls were reading the books and talking about them. I began entering the conversations as well. The books are absolutely entertaining if not well-written. I did feel tired sometimes over the endless bickering and back and forth separations, but I could see where those events were heading. I like being able to discuss the books with my students. I am happy they are reading!

A Man Called Ove is a book to discuss with friends. Ove is bumbling along after his wife's death, ready for death himself. Then a life changing event occurs: new neighbors. The story is well told! Read it!

This book is a must read! It is absorbing and captivating. I am drawn to stories told from various viewpoints. This one is excellent.

The story is addictive and well written. The twists and turns keep readers turning pages to see what happens next and how the story will unfold. The brotherly love is also inspiring.

I Let You Go is well worth readers' time! It is an addictive book because the reader does not know which way the story will move. Read this one!
