Literary Fiction
Review:Two lost souls wondering the Earth until one day their paths are meant to cross. This is really a great story but not for the faint at heart. Yes, there is some disturbing things that made me cring, but overall it was a very captivating story that will grab you from the first page and render you speechless until the end. Read more
Review:The book is amazing period. They style of writing, the characters the complete story was just perfect. While both book 1 and 2 could be stand alone books ( I would not suggest skipping book 1, it was in my top 10 for 2013) there are no cliffhangers and you feel like you were told a complete story.

Review:I selected the book based on the strong rating and description in the short synopsis, but was disappointed. Bit too chatty and too thin for my literary taste. Did not hold my interest. Took long time to develop the story. Stopped reading after chapter 9. Coming to Rosemont Read more
Review:"Lydia heard the distant flap of paper wings as the first book fell from its shelf." (p 1)
"And though she wanted to close her eyes and feel the promise of this moment, she couldn't help but look beyond his shoulder, hoping to see for one last time the girl he'd just erased from the screen." (p.326).
Inbetween these two sentences is a h*lluva of a good book, taut with complexity. Danger, uncertainty, compassion, caring are woven into a page-turner of a murder mystery. The narrator fo... Read more
Review:Best book I've read in a while!!! Funny, heartwarming, love story. Loved that this was written in first person so you know what Jake is thinking during all the problems arising from raising children. Chelsea and Jake make the perfect couple. Love, love, love this book. LOL funny scenes from beginning to end. Read more
Review:I really enjoyed this book. Like all Indian stories it's sad with a lot of twists. I liked the way all the characters linked together. Great saga, it will appeal to people who like that type to story. Read more
Review:This is a great book, HOWEVER, the brand new copy I received from Amazon is missing some 36 pages right before the end, at the books climax. This is a publishing error, not pages that have been removed. Talk about a ruined reading experience, and, quite naturally, since I ordered several Discworld books at once, by the time I discovered this Amazon REFUSES to replace it (with what would almost certainly be just another identical copy). Guess I have to buy this one again - at a physical bookstore... Read more
Review:We're talking the background story of the Bene Gesserit here. What should be an engrossing story is mediocre, and at times downright boring. Either the authors don't care anymore, or they're running out of steam, not sure which but either way, this is not their best effort. Read more
Review:No worries about spoilers when I decide to leave feedbacks on the books I pick to read, instead a warning about losing sleep because this author truly was gifted in her skills as an excellent "storyteller"…though *if* the time is taken to read the massive amount of research that went into weaving ancient historical facts at the finish of this trilogy you swiftly realize just how much went into the creation of all three. Make a point to get all three books though I believe each could have stood a... Read more
Review:I absolutely loved "What Is the What" by Dave Eggers. It only took me a good 3 years to get around to finally reading it but I'm so glad that I did! I have always been interested on the topic of the Lost Boys of Sudan and have heard lots about them. The writing style of this book is one of the numerous things that makes it outstanding. It is written from Achek's point of view from America but looks back on his past and how he got there. While reading about his journey and all of the hardships he... Read more
