My Reviews

The Double Bind: A Novel by Chris Bohjalian
 
Interesting, Dramatic, Brilliant
A thought-provoking storyline that explores the human psyche. An unexpected twist to the ending makes the book worthy of discussion.

Personally, I found the "surprise" ending intriguing enough to go back and re-read parts of this book, finding the author's purpose and premise of the story very thought-provoking! It made for interesting discussion in our group.

Bel Canto by Ann Patchett
 
Interesting, Romantic, Slow
An inspiring story of people realizing the beauty in each other without prejudice

When sixty people from a variety of social, economic and cultural backgrounds are entrapped within closed walls, without influence from the outside world, they communicate with each other and themselves with a renewed sense and appreciation of life. Though the ending was abrupt, I think it provides fuel for engaging discussion. And, it reminds us all to slow down a little and feel the grass. It also inspired me to listen to some opera!
