    I agree with all the comments about the movie being better. I read the book after seeing the movie. The characters made much more sense then in the book.

  • My Sister's Keeper: A Novel
    • Rated 0 stars

    I thoroughly enjoyed reading "My Sister's Keeper". I could not put it down! There were so many question raise about would Anna really sue her parents or not. I was very satisfied with the decree by the Judge and was surprised at the conclusion of the book. Recommended reading to all!

  • Go Ask Alice
    • Rated 4 stars

    For a book that was written so long ago, it still is a very important book to read. The innocence of it all and yet it was so hellish it its description of drug use. Any one, any family, any city, anywhere can be affected by someone who uses drugs.

  • The Gift
    • Rated 5 stars

    As usual, an very enjoyable book by Richard Paul Evans. There were a couple of surprises that I didn't expect. The characters are very likeable and the story moves along nicely.

  • The House
    • Rated 5 stars

    This is my first Danielle Steel book. It was recommended to me by an 87 year old woman who wouldn't (couldn't) stop talking about how good it was! Well, I was hooked! Pretty predictable but I enjoyed the characters and how nicely the book moved along. I would suggest it to anyone who would enjoy a very easy read of a book.
