Book Talk

Da Vinci Code  by Dan Brown      F Bro

    Dan Brown weaves bits and pieces of history and other publications into a mystery.  Robert Langdon, a Harvard symbologist, and Sophie Neveu, the murder victim's granddaughter, find clues hidden in Da Vinci's works and discover a centuries-old secret society.  I really enjoyed the story but did not agree with Mr. Brown's premise.  All in all a very good read.

Son of the Mob by Gordon Korman     F Kor

    An easy read, I found the characters to be funny and likeable. It has a Romeo and Juliet type theme. Good for a few chuckles.

Leslie's Journal by Allan Stratton     F Str

I would recommend this book, because it shows a lot about relationships and the truth behind them.

Five People You Meet in Heaven    F Alb

The book was really awesome. The different people in this book were very influential and I loved how the author put one question through for the whole book and nicely ended it in the end.

Midnight Predator    F Atw

The book was good because there were a lot of twists and you couldn't figure out what was going to happen next.

Bastard out of Carolina  by Dorothy Cavedweller  F Cav

A very touching book narrated by a 10-year old girl who is abused sexually, physically and emotionally by her step-father. A stunning book of courage and growing up.

Year of Wonders by Geraldine Brooks   F Bro

This book opens with a description of apple season in the mountains. It was so well written, I continued reading. Before the end I felt as though the plague (the basis of the book) had actually touched my own life. Geraldine Brooks re-created the seventeenth-century horror beautifully.
