The Appeal

The Appeal

by: John Grisham

Kerry and I both read this book, neither one of us loved it. It was ok. You can have a great discussion in the end, when you are done - is this stuff really true???

It was one of his worst books. No real peaks.

He tells an interesting tale of State Supreme Court judges that get voted in, as opposed to appointed. What that means to the state, laws, appeals.

I wish the book was better. You should read it, it is interesting information, the end of the book gets better. Just know that it is not a great Grisham book.

Remember Me?

Remember Me

by: Sophie Kinsella

This is not part of the Shopaholic series.

The Shopaholic books are light and funny, easy. This book was much heavier, kind of frustrating and a downer. In the end, it redeemed itself, but it was frustrating to me....I just would have solved the problems in a different way, hmm.

I liked this book fine too, didn't love it.

The premise is interesting....a woman wakes up in a hospital, it is 2007, she has forgotten about the years from 2004 to 2007. She is a totally differnt person in 2007 and it takes some time for her to figure herself out. She had a car accident and hit her head causing her amnesia.

I think I will look for Dawney's book, The Bread givers at the library now.

Ask Again Later

Ask Again Later

by: Jill A. Davis

She was a writer for the David Letterman show. This is not her first book.

It is a different syle of writing, no chapters....she writes her story with subject heading. It took some time for me to get used to, but in the end I liked the book, didn't love it.

The girl has a bad relationship with her mother and father and it is about repairing those relationships all the while trying to get her life/self in order and to find her own happiness.
