Review:Definitely a chick novel. After listening to the US and world news, this novel can help you feel better. There is nothing intellectual about it at all. Don't be put off by the mention of rocket science or chemistry. Read more

Review:Sophie Kinsella is a reliable author, in a good way. One could say her books are formulaic and always have a happy ending, but sometimes that is just what you want, and while tou can see several plot points a mile away, Kinsella still makes the journey enjoyable, primarily through her believable characters and zany, funny situations.

Another great thing about Kinsella is that she writes about women at all stages of life. Some women are older and alone, others are single and clueless. With... Read more

Review:Small Admissions was a fun, funny, and entertaining read. Kate is a likable character and has you rooting for her from the start, just like her friends. I took the book on holiday and it felt like the vacation from my vacation every time I got a chance to read it. Read more

Review:*I received this book from Penguin First to Read in exchange for an honest review*
Again, I would like to give special thanks to Penguin First to Read for giving Spoonbenders to me to review as an ARC. This was a fantastic book that I wish I didn’t just have for a short period of time to review, but also to own and display on my bookshelf!
This is the story of the psychic Telemachus family that, years before the story begins in 1995 Chicago, was humiliated on live television for being fa... Read more

Review:I loved this book because the journey that Arthur Pepper embarked on was totally whimsical and unpredictable. One truly did not know how this book would end. I loved the journey itself, the people he met and what he learned. Sometimes we have to walk away from ourselves to reflect on important things that don't arise during our routine. We remain frozen in habit. But, once he was in motion and could reflect, he found himself again. Read more

Review:Tristram Shandy, like Don Quixote, is a classic humor novel. It contains some hilarious premises (i.e. his father being obsessed with his family's noses and Tristram's nose getting smashed by clumsy forceps work during his delivery), but the digressions, which are the central conceit of the book and can be humorous on their own, dilute the fun to the point of making it a tedious exercise to finish it. The author is clearly impressed with his own cleverness but also has a sense of humor about h... Read more

Review:Edward Abbey's voice is unstoppable in this almost broodish transverse through his own personal lifetime. While Henry Lightcap searches for his own piece of the rock, vintage Edward Abbey shows through in picturesque word painting, and philosopher like style. As down to earth as always, if this book dosen't make you want to kick back a few cold Blatz with Cactus Ed,you could NEVER understand this man. Paralleling his life in almost military precision, this is as much an autobiography as a ... Read more

Review:So disappointing to pay this kind of money for short stories. Murakami is one of my favorite authors, but the last few titles have been well below the standard for an author who is in the running annually for the Nobel prize in Literature Read more

Review:While reading this book I kept thinking, "At some point this has to get more interesting". It never did. I never felt anything for the characters and only finished it because I hate buying a book and giving up on it. Read more

Review:I loved the characters in this book, and their interactions with each other. I also enjoyed learning how news stories come together, and the tension of dealing with murder kept me reading until I finished the book. Read more
