These Is My Words. This book began REALLY slow. The first 100 to 150 pages dragged on and on, and on, and on…, but picked up after that. I ended up liking the book and the end was predictable, but brought things full circle, but I don’t know that I would recommend it. If I did, I’d tell the person to start half way through the book!
The Lost Hours. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. From the very beginning I thought it was an intriguing story that kept me captivated through the end. The characters were strong and I felt like I was right there in Savannah with them. I look forward to reading more of White’s books.
A Thousand Splendid Suns. So I had heard this was more difficult to read than Hosseini’s first book. I don’t agree with that. It still discusses difficult topics, but they are real and not as heart-wrenching as those found in ‘The Kite Runner.’ I would recommend this book to anyone and think they would appreciate the strength of the characters, the joy and sorrow they experience and that you are privileged to experience with them.
The Scent of Rain and Lightning. This was one of the Reader’s Choice books at the library. I thought it was a good story, took a long time to tell, and used a lot of unnecessary bad language. It has some good life lessons in it and a “surprise” ending, but I honestly wouldn’t recommend it.
