All Our Worldly Goods review

Posted : 12 years, 6 months ago on 27 May 2012 12:32 (A review of All Our Worldly Goods)

This was a moving story about love and courage which repeats down the generations. It was also about tradition and change and how holding on too tight often leads to loss.

Lullabye review

This was a good book about revenge, grief, and moving on. I liked the relationship between Wyatt and his daughter Bronwyn.

Native Tongue review

Posted : 12 years, 6 months ago on 27 May 2012 12:30 (A review of Native Tongue)

I enjoyed this off-beat book about crooked developers, bungling crooks, and amusement parks. I especially liked the way Kingsbury tried to outdo Disney World.

Household Gods review

Posted : 12 years, 6 months ago on 27 May 2012 12:27 (A review of Household Gods)

I liked this book about a modern woman finding herself in a different time, but not because of the time travel. Rather, I liked the way Nicole has to confront her assumptions and how she finds the strength she needs in herself.

Sphere review

Posted : 12 years, 6 months ago on 21 May 2012 06:29 (A review of Sphere)

This was a very good thriller with many twists and turns. I like the way it was hard to distinguish what's real and what's not.

The Wednesday Letters review

Posted : 12 years, 6 months ago on 21 May 2012 06:28 (A review of The Wednesday Letters)

This was a great book about family and discovery. So much is discovered that I had to remind myself that it takes place over just a few days.

Green Hills Of Earth review

Posted : 12 years, 6 months ago on 21 May 2012 06:27 (A review of Green Hills Of Earth)

I enjoyed these short stories about the Earth and the Moon. Two of my favorites were "'It's Great to Be Back'" about a couple who learns where their home is, and "--We Also Walk Dogs" about a new kind of concierge company.

The Girl in the Glass: A Novel review

Posted : 12 years, 6 months ago on 21 May 2012 06:24 (A review of The Girl in the Glass: A Novel)

This was a good book about staged seances, immigration, Prohibition and life of grifters trying to make a living among the rich. I liked Diego's relationships with Schell, Antony, and Isabel.

The Monster of Florence review

Posted : 12 years, 6 months ago on 18 May 2012 07:16 (A review of The Monster of Florence)

This was a very good book about an elusive serial killer and about how a fixation on a particular theory and the importance of saving face can have serious consequences.
