Not impressed by the story line whatsoever. What is all the hype about? This is not a love story as I expected. Instead it is a story of hate, bitterness, and revenge and their very real destructive effects. The writing style was good, but I never felt sympathy for the characters. Depressing and generally dark. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71241621 to: Princess Academy (Paperback) by Shannon Hale
Princess Academy is another fun story by Shannon Hale. For me, however, it was too much like her Goose Girl series. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/71241369 to: Bent Twig: Dorothy Canfield (Paperback) by Dorothy Canfield Fisher
This was one of the best fictional books I have read in a while. Written almost 100 years ago, the themes are still pertinent today. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68118754 The Sunflower: A Novel (Hardcover) by Richard Paul Evans

I enjoyed this biik. a great story about compassion and love prevailing in a time and stiuation of racial strife and family discord. Some course language. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51059613 to: Skipping Christmas (Paperback) by John Grisham
I reread this book a couple years after the first time. I enjoyed it more because I knew not to expect much plot or charcter wise and was simply able to enjoy the comical ride. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51059429 to: A Christmas Carol (Great Stories) by Charles Dickens
For whatever reason, I have never enjoyed this classic tale. I had hoped that rereading it at this stage of life, I would better appreciate it. I did not. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51059137 to: Jane Eyre (Penguin Classics) by Charlotte Brontë
I expected to like this book more than I did. It seemed to drag through the middle section,and I was unsatified with the ending. I did enjoy the writing style and language, however. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51056571 to: Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch (Mass Market Paperback) by Terry Pratchett
A 4--. Very fun humor. I'd never heard of this book so it is funny to find that there is such a cult following. I may have been caught off guard by the style, but I was appropriately warned that it is comparable to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Though I did not love Hitchhiker's story line, Good Omens was a riot. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51056195 to: Fahrenheit 451 (Paperback) by Ray Bradbury
I honestly did not enjoy this story much. It was a chore to get through. I didn't find the characters full enough to care much about their future. However, I knew this would be an excellent book club discussion platform - which it was. ]]>
