My Reviews

 
Insightful, Dramatic, Brilliant
Thought provoking on personal and world event levels

Well tied together, good character development, a little long in areas, didn't love the wrap up at end of book

Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
 
Informative, Adventurous, Interesting
Chris McCandless leaves family, friends and wealth behind and ends starving to death in the Alaskan wilderness.

Personally I thought the story a waste of a life... It sounds as though he might have had much to give to those less fortunate... Our club discussion of the book was somewhat brief. However, there were 2 clear sides; those who felt his wandering was wasteful and those who understood his search... I did not like the part of the book where Krakauer sought to equate his life experience to Chris's.

Darjeeling: A Novel by Bharti Kirchner
 
2 sisters fall in love with the same man. The story that follows...

Slow but interesting read, good character development. Cultural insightful.

Family with a sick daughter has another child to be a donor for the ill child...

The Glass Castle: A Memoir by Jeannette Walls
 
Interesting, Inspiring, Dramatic
Survivor of a VERY Dysfunctional Family relates her memories

Interesting memoir that makes you appreciate your own family. Could have been half as long as it is unless she added more detail on her teen years.

 
Interesting, Dramatic
Kay Scarpetta forensic doctor

Did not finish book, too many characters without good background. Boring

Love Walked In by Marisa De Los Santos
 
Boring, Dramatic, Romantic
Fairly predictable story of love and loss and love

Interesting story, slow first half read but gets better. Not alot of issues to provoke discussion

The World Without Us by Alan Weisman
 
Informative, Persuasive, Scary
The what if's of Human absence on our planet

Did not finish book...none of us did:(. Interesting in areas that I can relate to, for example, NYC without people. Lost me when author spent too much time with elephants and animals in Africa...

 
Fun, Interesting, Inspiring

MANY characters made the read difficult at times but story was interesting and talkable
