  • The Corrections
    • Rated 4 stars

    A compelling story that is well-crafted and beautifully told. I think my mom thought it was too "weird" but I think that's part of the point--that a lot of families have some twisted things going on that others just don't see.

    One of those classic sagas that unfold over decades and generations but keep you interested the whole time. I liked it a lot, in part because my mom grew up in Detroit and it was a fascinating view into that city in other times.

  • The Color of Water
    • Rated 3 stars

    An interesting view into this person's life, but not nearly as memorable as "The Glass Castle." I was left feeling a little like "so what"?

  • A Fine Balance
    • Rated 4 stars

    This book, though beautifully written, is hard to read at times because of the unending string of tragedies that befalls every character who matters. Yet, in the end, it has a beauty about it that is unforgettable.
