Review:Excellent read. This captures women's everyday struggles and emotions beautifully. Truly a delight to read and a comfort to feel I'm not alone in many of the sentiments. Also, I must note better than the movie. Read more

Orlando (Vintage Classics)
Orlando (Vintage Classics)

Review:No lover in the world ever wrote a valentine more exquisite than Virginia Woolf's tribute to her lover Vita Sackville-West.

That tribute was "Orlando: A Biography," a magical-realism tale about a perpetually youthful, charming hero/ine who traverses three centuries and both genders -- and Woolf's writing reaches a new peak as she explores the hauntingly sensuous world of Orlando. It's one of those rare novels that transcends the time in which it was written, even as its hero/ine transcend... Read more

Mrs Dalloway (Vintage Classics Woolf Series)
Mrs Dalloway (Vintage Classics Woolf Series)

Review:Not as incomprehensible as much modernist writing, but there is only minimal development of characters and no significant action. As an experiment, it's mildly interesting, but I prefer something more substantial. In a world that has Pride and Prejudice, Middlemarch, Tom Jones, and Vanity Fair, why waste your time? Read more

The War Planners
The War Planners

Review:Last night, I stayed up past my bedtime to finish this book; it was that thrilling. I *had* to know how it was going to wrap up. This book makes you think and feel in exciting ways. It is full of suspense and intrigue and keeps you guessing the whole way through. And, it exhilarates, provokes, and surprises. In short, it delights. The dialogue is exceptional and, like the book itself, moves at a fast pace. Keen psychological insights are sprinkled throughout the book--adding compelling depth to ... Read more

A Novel of Mata Hari (Vintage International) - The Spy

Review:This book read like a high school book report. Information that apparently intended to be salacious, was, instead boring and vague. I have enjoyed several Paul Coehlo stories, but this one was a waste of time. Read more

Tom Clancy Power and Empire (A Jack Ryan Novel)

Review:After reading this book, and my experiences with past Clancy books, it makes it hard for me to believe that he doesn't still live on through these adventures. There is Clancy on every page and I rated all his books with five stars. A spell binding read. Read the entire book in two days. Couldn't put it down. (I read electronically with my Kindle fire!)
