This book is ok, I guess, but I wouldn't read it twice.

Alone: A Detective D. D. Warren Novel
by

This book was very hard to put down. In fact, I stayed up all night because I couldn't bear not knowing what happened next. Needless to say, I am one very tired lady right now. It was worth the lack of sleep however. This book lets us know from the outset who the bad guys are, so rather than trying to guess the culprit, the suspense is built around whether the heroine will be believed, or whether the bad guys will win. Having said that, for the most part the characters in this story are neither wholly bad or wholly good. Rather they are flawed human beings, trying hard to make the best of a bad situation. This serves the purpose of humanising them and leaves us wondering - what would we do if we were put in that situation? If you like mystery and suspense in your novels, you will like this book.

I gave up on this book. It was just too strange and confusing for my taste.

Hush Little Darlings

The premise of this book was interesting. However, I felt that the whole hypnosis plot was not as developed as it could have been and I found the first person narrative distracting.

Crawlers
by

This book reads as though it is written for young adults, but I would recommend saving it for the older teens in your life. This book would definitely be too scary for the young'uns. This is a classic alien mind control type story, typical for young adult novels, it is so much better written than most. You will experience thrills from beginning to end. And what an ending - very creepy! I recommend this book to anybody over the age of sixteen.

Secret Life of Bees
by
Sue Monk Kidd

, December 06, 2011
Set during the civil rights era, The Secret Life of Bees is a coming-of-age story about a young girl as she stuggles to make sense of her past, her present and the changing world around her. Though racial issues form a backdrop to the story and do trigger some events, this is not the main theme of this novel. Rather this book is about journeys - physical journeys, emotional journeys and the journey of understanding that happens to us all as we grow up. I highly recommend this book for adults and young adults alike.
