The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao 195 reviews
Junot Díaz
Riverhead Hardcover, 2007
Brief Wonderous Life of Oscar Wao
Although different than most books and I suppose in literary circles thought to be intelligently written, I found it depressing, sad, funny and strange. Although I don't read/speak Spanish, some spanish phrases/descriptions written could be deciphered simply by the context of the story itself, but ...

Wonderfully Different
+ Good read, page turner
+ I still like James
I was at first taken aback by the unusual writing style and the fact that the story seemed to jump around, but soon grew comfortable and found that the book flowed beautifully for me. The author skillfully weaves the history of Los Angeles with the lives of a variety of current-day residents. I ...

The Whole Truth96 reviews
David Baldacci
Grand Central Publishing, 2008
Another great read from Baldacci
+ Political fiction
+ A little too close to "the whole truth" for comfort
As usual David Baldacci does an excellent job of character development and making the plot understandable. Even though you know the good guys are going to come out ahead, there are enough twists and turns in the story to make some part of your brain doubt that and make you wonder what's going to ...
