My Reviews

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
 
Fun, Fantastic, Beautiful
Very fun, quick read. Perfect for reading during the holiday rush.

We had some good discussions about relationships - it's a simple book that most people were able to take something from and discuss.

Not our liveliest discussion, but still good.

Infidel by Ayaan Hirsi Ali
 
Informative, Insightful, Inspiring
Provocative

This book stays with you. One of the most memorable books I have ever read. I admire Ayaan - who couldn't? She is one of the strongest women I have ever read about - fiction and non-fiction combined.

 
Dramatic, Interesting, Insightful
Alright....

I was never really drawn into the book - and I read it during the time of my miscarriage. I couldn't really connect with the people in the story - they seemed a little extreme. It's not a book I would automatically recommend to everyone.

Charming! Easy Read! Loved it!

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
 
Inspiring, Insightful, Optimistic
Fabulous, but.....

I read this outside my book club. It was fabulous on it's own. I'm not sure, however, how much discussion it would prompt. It's an easy, fast read - perfect for reading during the holiday rush, but I can't say how much discussion it would induce.

I almost hate giving it only 3 stars, because it deserves more than that - but as a book club book....I just don't know.

 
Brilliant, Dramatic, Epic
A Fabulous Classic

I have NEVER liked anything by Steinbeck....until I read East of Eden. It's one of my all time favorites. Beautifully written - well worth the read!

Love this book!

A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
 
Informative, Dramatic, Insightful
I preferred Kite Runner

 
Dramatic, Slow, Interesting
Fantastic!

A few women felt it got a little slow in the middle, others devoured it. We had a wonderful discussion based off of the questions from the author's web site. Beautiful writing style! Great book to read.

 
Dramatic, Informative, Insightful
Compelling

This book offered compelling conversation about world politics (in most cases, how little we know) and the effects war has on the people of a country.

Austenland: A Novel by Shannon Hale
 
Book Club Recommended
Fun, Romantic, Dramatic
Fun Romantic Quick-Read

Great story - it really helps to be a fan of the BBC Pride and Prejudice, or at least watch it before you read.
