The Angel's Game--book review

The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafón


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Loved this book. Could not put it down! Another great novel by Zafon. Shadow of the Wind is one of my all time favorites, this is a close second. It's definitely worth all 530 pages.

Book Review--The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
While this book deals with a very serious subject--it is also HILARIOUS. Just the pick me up I needed at the time I was reading it. The book is told through letters, so has a unique format that is very appealing.

Book Review--The Nightingales of Troy

The Nightingales of Troy: Connected Stories by Alice Fulton

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
This novel is written in a great way--from many different points of view, many different narrators. It follows the lives of a family over a generation. The chapters are 'mini stories' narrated by different characters in the story. It gives a great view of relationships from different perspectives.

Book Review--Cabinet of Curiosities

The Cabinet of Curiosities by Douglas Preston

My review

This book was very enjoyable, fast paced and full of intrigue. It went beyond the usual formulaic mystery. Good character development, a bit gruesome, but not horribly so. I've read other books by this duo and recommend their books highly! Great escapism read.

A Woman's Education--a book review

A Woman's Education by Jill Ker Conway

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is amazing! I've read both of author:Jill Ker Conway's books and have enjoyed them all. This book is inspiring. The things she has accomplished are unbelievable. It is an interesting look into her life and her role at Smith College as the first female president (in the 60s) of an all female institution. Even if you are not in this field, it will inspire you to go out and do great things. It gets you started thinking what else should I be doing? I highly recommend this book to everyone!
