Susan rated a book 4 of 5 stars Telling the Bees by Peggy Hesketh read in June, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
What a wonderful character Peggy Hesketh has given us in Albert Honig. His world view is informed entirely by his love for his bees, to the extent that he is blind to everything but their complicated and fascinating lives. Gently parsing out the myst...more

Susan rated a book 3 of 5 stars A Perfect Proposal by Katie Fforde read in June, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Aww, this is a sweet little book with more than a dash of Jane Austen in its genes. Handsome rich and annoying man; cute, smart, young and under-appreciated heroine. What's not to love?

Reminiscent of The Great Gatsby, bravely constructed with a narrator who is equally unreliable and omniscient. The first third is sharp and compelling and peopled with the grandest sorts of characters, beautiful people, deeply flawed. It's a little t...more

As a novelist, I'm often accused of making readers cry. I know how it's done, I understand the power of words, the smoke and mirror of foreshadowing. This is How It Ends is one of the few books I've ever read that was able to make me shed tears. MacM...more

Susan rated a book 2 of 5 stars San Miguel by T.C. Boyle read in May, 2013	Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
I really wanted to love this book, I really did. But, I didn't. Like life on a desolate island, this one was boring. T.C. Boyle was evidently constrained, despite protests to the contrary, by controlling fact over true and freeing fiction.
