The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel

by Diane Setterfield
- Rated 5 stars
“LOVED IT!!!! The best book I've read in a long time! It was like Jane Austen came back to life and rewrote a book. The writing is what held me at the beginning, and the characters and plot development is what kept me racing through the book. I loved every page of it and can't wait to get a chance to read it again!”

We the Living

by Ayn Rand
- Rated 3 stars
“Considering it was Rand's first, I thought it was really good. It is much shorter than her others, but still conveys her opinions and views on society. It is tough to get through, because so much of it is very depressing, but she is very clear with her thoughts and the character development I thought was great.”

Next

by Michael Crichton
- Rated 4 stars
“I actually really liked Next, and although its not his best book, its definitely better than most. It is really saturated with facts and science, as are most of his books. You definitely need some understand of biology to follow a lot of it. But as far as weaving a plot with facts and a clear statement (beware of rising technology and its ethical issues), I think he did really well this time!”

The Memory Keeper's Daughter

by Kim Edwards
- Rated 3 stars
“well written, the story's pace was great. The author took a really serious situation and all the consequences decades after and pulled it into a plot that flowed really well. Not life-changing, but a good read.”

“i did not understand the point of this book...it skipped tens of years at a time without any explanation and there was no purpose to the plot.”
