Loving Frank: A Novel by Nancy Horan
 
Informative, Interesting, Dramatic
Interesting novel about Frank Lloyd Wright

Although I was personally interested about the private and public life of the famously brilliant architect, Frank Lloyd Wright I was disappointed to learn of his tremendously selfish actions in his private life and I was also dismayed at the inconsiderate way he treated people that he considered beneath him. This was not a tragic love story but a sad tale of two people who were merely seeking self gratification while disregarding the effect of their liaison on their families.

I really appreciated learning what it was actually like living thru the aftemath of the depression. It was a very colorful story following the adventures of Little Porter and his extended family.

Difficult, Confusing, Epic
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay

I'm truly amazed at being able to finish this book. The story line of the book is extremely confusing and all over the place.
This book may have been better if it was condensed to about 250 pages.

Viva Matilde

I truly enjoyed this book which is the sequel to Cafe Con Leche by Jack Fernandez. It's about the deversified community that was thriving in Ybor City, Florida and some of it's fictional residents. It portrays life in the early 1960's.

A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole
 
Fun, Confusing, Adventurous

I really didn't enjoy this book. It's a convaluted tale of confusing characters. It was a drudgery to finish.

Wuthering Heights (Penguin Classics) by Emily Brontë, Pauline Nestor

Wuthering Heights

This book was difficult to finish. I found the story line difficult to follow. Some of the characters in this book have the same or very similar names which makes the epic tale confusing.
