My Reviews

The Mars Room: A Novel by Rachel Kushner
 
Difficult, Unconvincing, Boring

I read this book over a year ago and I havenâ??t figured out the point of it. I feel as though the author wanted cram as much description and character in the book that the plot of the book disappeared. There were too many characters to keep track of and not enough storyline on the female lead. It jumped around way too much and went down every possible rabbit hole and side street. Honestly, one star is generous. Would not recommend.

 
Informative, Interesting, Inspiring

I loved this book for so many reasons but most of all because it’s a story that must be heard. The injustice these women experienced is almost unthinkable. The courage and strength the women had to stand up for each other and themselves during great adversity is completely inspiring. One of the best books I’ve ever read.

Little Women (Puffin in Bloom) by Louisa May Alcott
 
Optimistic, Slow, Boring

 
Dramatic, Interesting, Insightful

This book did not live up to the hype. I struggled to get “into it.” I found the female lead to be spoiled, entitled and completely unrelatable. I only found connection with one of the supporting characters. Would not recommend.

Interesting, Insightful, Dramatic

I enjoyed this book. It was such an interesting topic and really gave our book club a lot to discuss. I thought the characters were well developed and very interesting. I was only disappointed in the ending.
