I got about half way through this book but will not finish it. It has periods of the book that are interesting, but I am having a tough time keeping my interest and it's hard to keep track of the various characters. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/72836425 The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million (Hardcover) by Daniel Mendelsohn

Loved this book. It's amazing what some children must endure in their lives and incredible when someone like Ishmael Beah is able to escape the life of a child soldier to come to our country and enlighten us with his tale. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38030141 Chantelle's review of One Year to an Organized Life

That's funny. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68254415 Wendy's review of Girl with a Pearl Earring
by Tracy Chevalier

Yeah, the librarian said that one was better. Hard to imagine - this one was very good. I think she said that one was about the boy version??? ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69871474 Wendy's review of A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier
by Ishmael Beah

So far, love this book. This is a haunting tale written by the now grown boy soldier from Sierra Leon. We take so much of our childhood for granted here in the U.S. It is amazing someone like this survived. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68254415 to: Girl with a Pearl Earring (Paperback) by Tracy Chevalier
I really liked this book. The auther developed a story around a painting and the story is set in a time and era I was not familiar with. It was nice to read something different. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65054524 to: New Moon (Twilight, #2) by Stephenie Meyer
Although I finished this book, I've decided not to continue with the series. There are too many better books to read to waste more time on this. I think these books are really made for a younger person. I don't think the plot is that intersting and the writing not great. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67480177 to: Fahrenheit 451 (Paperback) by Ray Bradbury
