My Reviews

Blessings by Anna Quindlen
 
Slow, Dramatic, Interesting
Great for discussion, very enjoyable

I loved her writing and character development. Everything felt real. We all loved this book.

The Glass Castle: A Memoir by Jeannette Walls
 
Interesting, Inspiring, Dramatic
Shows how life determines who we become

Sam's Letters to Jennifer by James Patterson
 
Romantic, Insightful, Interesting
Grandma writes letters to her Grandaughter about her life

A little light weight. With a little effort could have been so much more. Not much controversy in the book so we all pretty much thought the same thing.

 
Insightful, Informative, Interesting
A father 's look at his son's drug addiction and how he can help

We all thought this was a great book. It give insight into a national problem. Sadly one without much proven help. He is very honest in portraying himself and his feelings and foibles. He researches different programs and facilities. Unfortunately what works for one doesn't necessarily work for others. It is a series of steps. This information is helpful to others in the same boat. You are not alone. Al-Anon's motto - You didn't cause it; you can't control; you can't cure it - is great advice, if your heart and head can get behind it.
Read this book and the son's TWEAK for how drugs affect family and friends.

New Mercies by Sandra Dallas
 
New Mercies

Not one of her better novels. Not much to discuss. If you want to discuss a Sandra Dallas book, do Persian Pickle Club, Buster Midnight's cafe, Tallgrass, anything but this one!!

 
Unconvincing, Difficult, Slow
Farewell to Arms

This was a Hemimgway book. We anticipated it being great. It was horrible. We thought the writing childish; the characters undeveloped; the circumstances and results unbelievable. Just a few examples - Catherine is pregnant but will not get married until she is thin again; Henry somehow while in a war keeps getting checks from home no matter where he is.
