1Q84

by Haruki Murakami
- Rated 3 stars
“Good story, but way too LONG. I usually love long novels, but this needs an editor to cut it down by at least 1/3. ”

Red Hook Road

by Ayelet Waldman
- Rated 2 stars
“With recommendations from Khaled Hosseini and Ann Packer, I really wanted to like this book. Gave up after 100 pages. Too slow and depressing.”

Matched

by Ally Condie
- Rated 3 stars
“I was told that this is the new Hunger Games, and it didn't live up to those expectations. The dystopian society reminded me much more of The Giver, and since The Giver is one of my favorite novels, this fell short. The next novel in the Trilogy sounds like it will be more like Hunger Games, and the reviews sound better, so I'm looking forward to it.”
