A book I really liked was the Paragon Hotel It was amazing I read it 02/18-02/20 finished it wow It was amazing. It was a very unexpected finish a lot of parts had me crying. very unusual book. Italian back east mob, Segregation, Prohibition. When I read time period based books especially involving segregation it phases me. Like to kill a mockingbird I love that book, saw the play when it came to long beach in 2005. I loved the sequel a lot. Now Stalking Jack the ripper series I accidentally read out of order because I couldn't get the books in order at the time. Not too much of a fan of Stalking jack the ripper or the last one Capturing the devil. ( By Kerri Maniscalo)
