I'm not saying this book is awful, it actually draws some interesting parallels between Vietnam and the Holocaust. It is with sadness I say that the gladness was sucked right out of me with the repetition and long draw out story

If you have heard stories about Captain Kidd, this non-fiction book will set you straight. I found it an interesting read.

Interesting and entertaining

This non-fiction book tells the story of Elizabeth Packard. She is a woman I have never heard of but should have. Sane women are institutionalized by their husbands on whims including Elizabeth. She fought to get back rights for her and others caught in this situation . The story is at times tedious but I am glad I learned about this formidable woman.

An amazing short story by a great author. Ravi unexpectedly looses his father. His mother falls apart which forces Ravi to enter adulthood all too soon. Ravi with the help of a neighbor and a friend begins to realize that grief is missing a person in many different ways. He develops an understanding of himself and the others around him. A very emotional read which gave me goosebumps. Wish it were longer.

I love the way Fiona Davis weaves her stories around historical buildings in NYC. This one is centered around the NY Public Library and a family that lives within the building.

I liked the book beginning to end - it's simple - I liked it!!!!

The book is about a movie star who is black listed in Hollywood because of her costar in her latest movie. The story was interesting although of the story seemed forced to fit the narrative

The bodies of the Pine family, mother, father, sister and little brother are found dead in their vacation home. Two sons have survived one, a college student, who couldn’t attend the trip because he had classes, and one a prisoner for the murder of his girlfriend. What happened here, and why. An intriguing story. Very suspenseful.

This was not a required book in my high school class. I have committed to read one classic novel per month and this is the first one. I appreciated this book I think more as an adult than I would have reading as a teenager. A black man named Tom is accused of a terrible crime against a white woman. Scout’s father, Atticus, is appointed to defend Tom. Through Scout’s point of view, you get to see the small town in the south point of view about race relations and the true bad people who live in the neighborhood, including Boo. Always remember, it would be a sin to kill a mockingbird. I definitely recommend reading or rereading this novel.
