My Reviews

Zeitoun by Dave Eggers
 
Informative, Insightful, Interesting
Interesting but...

With a story like this, I would expect to care about the characters and what happens, to be outraged and relieved. I got none of that. Written as reportage, it was a bit boring.

Gone Girl: A Novel by Gillian Flynn
 
Dramatic, Dark, Interesting
Ridiculous

I heard so much about this book, I couldn't wait to read it. I must say, it was very disappointing. I went with the whole idea for a while, but then it just got ridiculous and the ending was so absurd I almost threw it across the room. Not good enough to be believable, or convincing enough to be willing to suspend disbelief. A total waste of time.

Secret Daughter: A Novel by Shilpi Somaya Gowda
 
Insightful, Informative, Interesting
Predictable

While there was nothing terribly wrong with this book, it was a bit of a snooze. The characters and their motivations were unconvincing. I didn't care about any of them and forgot about it all as soon as I finished.

The Great Alone: A Novel by Kristin Hannah
 
Book Club Recommended
Adventurous, Dramatic, Addictive
An engrossing read

I really enjoyed this book. Though parts were predictable, it was so interesting to follow this family on their Alaskan adventure. Many characters are larger than life but felt real based on the environment and times. It was hard to put down and was ultimately satisfying.
