Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk

Kristina Mageau, August 30, 2012

I was thoroughly engaged while reading this book, and at times it was almost too dark and gross for me. There is the possibility to be offended, although it is more of an intense experience of fun and mystery than anything else.

A fun and obscure view of Portland. Recommended for those who want to explore Portland in a different way, or for those who are just curious about what is on the unbeaten path.

The Grapes of Wrath (Penguin Classics) by John Steinbeck

Kristina Mageau, August 30, 2012

Pretty well written, Steinbeck shares an interesting tale with an intensely historical perspective. The intensity comes from the dark time in history, filled with cultural and economic depth. There are dull points, where the descriptions are more wordy than necessary unless the reader truly cannot get enough of that particular point in time.
