Not as great as The Kite Runner, but still great

Another intimate look into the unimaginably tough life of Afghanis - this time focusing on two women - over the course of their lifetimes. The settings border on unbelievable at times, but looking back over the course of the last 30 years in Afghanistan, it's not hard to imagine how brutal life can ... (continue)

A vivid tale of rabbits finding a new life for themselves. -
I had not read this book in school - although I know many who did - so I was pleasantly surprised at how well it was written, and even enjoyable for someone twice as old as a high schooler.
There are segments of "over-wording," where the details are piled on and described for pages at a time ... (continue)

This is a very well written and easy to read bo ... (continue)

Meyers continues the emotional whirlwinds of Bella, but by the conclusion it still doesn't conclude with a bang - only a whimper. All three books have relied heavily on emotions and been saved with flashes of great action, although this time the emotional side overwhelms the story. A glorious fini ... (continue)

Over-zealous wording but a novel idea -
A little over-wordy in the beginning utilizing terms and acronyms, but it's an interesting idea (and commentary) of a society and political system in a future Disney World / Kissimmee, FL, locale.

Darkly Dreaming Dexter
Most of the book mirrored a lot of the Showtime series for Season One, but there were some drastic differences at the conclusion of the novel.
A good, easy read, and a very interesting character.
