The Bronze Horseman 1 review Paullina Simons
Harper, 2001
WOAH!
This is one of the best books I'v read in my life to date! I ran across a recomendation for it on a Diana Gabaldon site. The Outlander series is beloved to me and I can't help but compare everything to it. Although this is a very different sort of yarn ,this story is heartbreaking, gut ...

Prep: A Novel 487 reviews Curtis Sittenfeld
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2005
I could relate
I can't believe the mixed reviews for this book. I don't understand how some readers just did'nt get it, maybe they were so popular and socially adept in highschool that they could not relate. I certainly could relate to Lee on many levels. Did I like her? Not so much, but I could have been her in ...

We Need to Talk About Kevin: A Novel (P.S.) 202 reviews Lionel Shriver
Harper Perennial, 2006
Grips you. Turns your stomach. Makes you think about what's important in life.
+ Disturbing, engrossing, so horrible you can't put it down + It turned out to be a great book.
Whew, I haven't quite finished this book and I'm writing the review because I've been discussing it with some friends. Mostly we agree, but I strongly disagree with one usually insightful friend who maintains that the author, Shriver, hates, yes HATES her characters!
This book isn't about hating ...
