Easy read

The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks
 
Romantic, Beautiful, Fantastic
Boring

This book was too predictable, boring and unrealistic. If you want a fantasy book then maybe ok, otherwise,no substance.

Little Bee

Torn on this one, loved the Little bee narratives, learned to appreciate Sarah in some ways....wanted more at the end. I really have become a fan of the authors writing style in this book.

Sarah's Key by Tatiana De Rosnay

So so

the story of the little girl was sad but well done and kept my attention. The modern section was ok but got boring. The ending was tied up but in a choppy way. It was a fast read, one day for me.

Year of Wonders

I was surprised how the beginning was some what dragging and then BAM, it all took a dramatic turn. At first I had a hard time with the ending but then taking into account of Anna's confusion with her religion it all made sense to me.

Moloka'i: A Novel by Alan Brennert

Loved it

Of all the books I have read the last month this is by far my favorite. Not one for being overly sensitive I found myself misty eyed at the end

Great Story

We loved this book. We had one of our longest and most interesting discussions yet. A great story.

The Forgotten Garden

Loved it! I was drawn in by each character, whether they were likeable or not.

Interesting

I think we will have interesting dicussions as we analyze the characters and the choices they made. All we who did not live in that era have to see of it is the TV reruns, not an idyllic era and this book supports and destroys that idea.

The Alienist by Caleb Carr

the Alienist

Loved it, not one for mysteries, not patient enough, but this one was great, enough twists but not contrived.
