My Reviews

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

Dramatic, Interesting, Dark

not worth reading

While parts of this book were fun to read, the overall plotline was a bit stupid. The aspect about twins and ghosts was drastically overexaggerated, and I found the book's characters to be a bit flat. I wouldn't recommend this book.

Water for Elephants: A Novel by Sara Gruen

Adventurous, Dramatic, Interesting

great book!

Captivating, endearing, sad, and happy. The characters are loveable, the plot is unpredictable, the ending is perfect, and it's told from the point of view of an old man in a nursing home. All the components of a great book! =] I couldn't put this book down -- and I'm a picky reader.

The Memory Keeper's Daughter: A Novel by Kim Edwards

Dramatic, Interesting, Insightful

enlightening

Beautifully, beautifully written. A little slow-moving at times, but a great plot. So true about how dishonesty destroys families, and the horrors of how people with down-syndrome were treated just a few decades ago.

A Thread of Grace by Mary Doria Russell

Informative, Adventurous, Insightful

everyone should read this book!

Deep, horrific, and touching -- teeming with truth. I LOVE this book.

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

Insightful, Dramatic, Brilliant

fantastic book -- a thousand times over

This book was desperately sad and powerfully realistic. Khaled Hosseini is an extremely talented author, and I recommend the book to everyone.
