My Reviews

Loving Frank: A Novel by Nancy Horan
 
Informative, Interesting, Dramatic
Extra marital affair between two intellectuals.



Too self centered to be enjoyed fully.

 
Boring, Optimistic, Insightful
Social experiment of women sharing diamond necklace.

It provided excellent discussion points. All of us could identify with characteristics of at least one woman. The experiment wasn't really about the necklace but how it changed their lives. At our book club meeting we all brought a necklace and it's story to "show and tell." Great fun.

Crashing Through

An amazing story that does turn out the way you think it should. As a nurse I thought I would be aware of the adjustments the subject makes but I was so wrong. It make you look at being sighted as even more amazing.

The Glass Castle

Overall sad because of the family's situation but glimmers of hope and fun as the father reworked the scenarios to entertain the family.

Girl with the Dragon Tatoo

Too many characters early on without building them to help remember why they are important. I liked the business references.

Sarah's Key

I really liked how the story moved along until the last part. That part seemed too contrived to tie up the end.

Slow to start but worth it.

A bit long and tedious for awhile but it improves greatly. Characters are very real and complex. Well written and satisfying at the end.

How in the world can a person adapt to this situation?

Great psychological insight into an unfanthomable situation. Even though the situation was the same for years the response to the changes was fascinating.

Margit

Probably the best book I've read in the past 10 years. It was extremely well written. The story was intersting and inspiring. Regardless of your interest in medicine there was something in the book for everybody. I highly recommend it.
