The Sequel
by Jean Hanff Korelitz
View in Library Catalog
book cover


I wanted to like this book. But it (ironically?) shows that the sequels are not always necessary. In the first book the story was compelling but the ending felt muddy, and unfulfilling. Now we pick up with Anna, a character from the first book, who was kind of an anti-hero, but now she is more difficult to root for. She has gone from tragic victim to paranoid sociopath with a high kill count. Just not a compelling story.

This book was a great book to read if you want to be in a fantastical town that is very much like your own town. Vivian and Daniel find themselves in a new town but not any town. It is a town full of magical people. When their daughter was “accidentally” turned into a werewolf by the wayward son of the richest and most powerful werewolf family in the area,Vivian and Daniel most learn how to fit into the mages world wild trying to figure out how to handle their daughter, Aria’s, ability to turn into a wolf. With a pushy PTA, a missing money scandal and the coming of The Reckoning, can Vivian survive her new life and still make friends in her community? This was a fun read that you can really compare to your days of volunteering in the PTA.

Well written book that starts on Long Island. The back story explores the ravages of the Vietnam Nam war, Vietnamese Refugees, and humanity. For those who lived through the turmoil of the Vietnam Nam war, it will bring memories flooding back. Another ‘Cannot put down’ book. There are many lessons embedded for Millenials, Gens X, Y, Z.

book cover


Jennifer Weiner has written an okay story in THE GRIFFIN SISTERS' GREATEST HITS. However I found the telling of it very slow and repetitious. Two sisters, very close in age and very, very far apart in regard to looks, hopes, and dreams among other things face life and adulthood. They have both done things that have badly hurt each others and a host of other people along the way. Can they reconnect and finally have their happy ending? Read the book if you want to know ...
