	Kristin gave to: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (Hardcover) by Junot Díaz	my rating:
	Kristin said: "I think my opinion of this book was swayed by the guy who did the reading in audiobook. He was not at all right for reading the part of a teenage science fiction nerd from the DR, in my opinion, although that IS the unfortunate nature of audiobooks. ...more " add a comment
	Kristin gave to: Gang Leader for a Day (Hardcover) by Sudhir Venkatesh	my rating:
	Kristin said: "I listened to this audio book during a 12 hour drive, and I was down that my drive was ending because listening to it was so absorbing. A very intriguing and an often sad account of life and community in the Robert Taylor Homes in Chicago. " add a comment
	Kristin gave to: A Million Little Pieces (Paperback) by James Frey	my rating:

	Kristin gave to: Ghost World (Paperback) by Daniel Clowes	my rating:
	Kristin said: "Daniel Clowes is so damn good at capturing real-life dialogue. He's earned my admiration for creating such smart, complex, and realistically vulnerable teenage girls. Also a lot of sadness wafting around this story, but it's realistic and affecting. " add a comment
	Kristin gave to: Rumspringa: To Be or Not to Be Amish (Paperback) by Tom Shachtman	my rating:
	Kristin said: "Pretty interesting, but I would recommend seeing the movie "Devil's Playground" in its stead. The movie is great (and from where, I believe, the book sprang), and the book tends toward the text-y side. " add a comment
	Kristin gave to: Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth (Paperback) by Chris Ware	my rating:
	Kristin said: "Amazing. Chris Ware is my hero. Also, totally like the saddest story you've ever read about the loneliest guy you've ever met. If you know a lonely, sad guy then you'll picture him as Jimmy. And it will make you sad. " add a comment
