A Farewell Book
It is with a heavy heart that i read this book knowing that most likely, this is the last book Michael Chrichton's for all time. Why do the good die young. This book is not as elaborately detailed as most of Chrichton's works. It revolves around pirates in Jamaica. It was a good and fast read.

DEVOTION
"Devotion" by Dani Shapiro is one of those books that draws you in and stays with you for a while after you finished it.

From the outside it looks like Shapiro has everything it takes to be completely happy: a loving family, a successful career, and a nice home. But instead she feels ...
