This book was pretty good - had a few surprises and peaked my interest in knitting or at least why some people like it. It's just a story about how important people can be in our lives, family or not. ]]> 20013562 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 16:17:19 -0700 Review18460116 <![CDATA[Jenne added 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18460116

Jenne read and liked Hayley's review of To Kill a Mockingbird:

"Loved this book!! I can't believe I went so long without reading it! I guess I can actually say that about a lot of books. . . it took me a long time to appreciate the literary arts. I was consumed with To Kill a Mockingbird. The words jumped fro...more "

Jenne read and liked Hayley's review of Where the Heart Is:

"I read this book in high school and it sparked an interest in reading that was pretty much non-existent until then. Thanks Miss Illingworth! I also saw this movie, and although it was cute, I am much more connected to Letts's fabulous characters as...more "

to: Can't Wait to Get to Heaven: A Novel (Hardcover) by Fannie Flagg
I read this for my St. Mary's Book Club and it was a fun discussion. At first I found it a little too sappy and homey but I kept reading and before I knew it, I was hooked and couldn't wait to find out what would happen to sweet ol' Elnor next! It is not as deep (nor profound) as Fannie Flagg's Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe but just a very fun and cozy read. Probably best suited for the over 40 crowd. ]]> 6526284 Wed, 10 Oct 2007 18:21:10 -0700 Comment170518 <![CDATA[new comment from Jenne]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7267022 Julie's review of To Kill a Mockingbird
by Harper Lee

Julie! You're killing me...only 3 stars for To Kill a Mockingbird? It's on my TOP 5 list - I love it. Please reconsider OR maybe it was a slip of the finger? ]]> 6165018 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 20:05:16 -0700 Review7328971 <![CDATA[Jenne added 'A Thousand Splendid Suns']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7328971

to: A Thousand Splendid Suns (Hardcover) by Khaled Hosseini
Wow. I will never think of Afghanistan the same way after reading this bittersweet saga of what it is like to be a woman living there. The Kite Runner, also by Hosseini, tells the story from a male perspective but this one is from the women's point of view. I don't think it's possible to read this book without shedding tears for them. The theme is universal and the story could take place in any country where there is a regime of terror and basic human rights have been taken away. ]]> 6164951 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 19:53:53 -0700 Review7328931 <![CDATA[Jenne added 'The Da Vinci Code']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7328931

to: The Da Vinci Code (Paperback) by Dan Brown
This was a fast-paced page turner, very plot-driven and tons of twists, turns and mystery. It's a great "what-if" tale if you're not offended by liberties taken by the authors of fiction :O) ]]> 6164405 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 19:48:52 -0700 Review7328652 <![CDATA[Jenne added 'Water for Elephants']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/7328652

to: Water for Elephants (Audio CD) by Sara Gruen
This is a story about a young man, an old man, the circus life, an elephant and love. One of the best stories ever and a must read for anyone who is old, knows someone old, or will ever be old. I love you Mr. Jankowski! ]]>
