Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

The first book in a series of simply the best books I've ever read. This book has a little bit of everything and the author has the talent and does the research to bring you right into the story.

I have read Stephen King for many, many years and he just keeps getting better and better. One thing I have always said is that King really knows people. This is a great book that had me hooked from the beginning. Time travel, history and a love story! And the fact that it is a big book was even better. I would highly recommend this book.

The Road

Sorry, but this is the worst book that I have ever read! I read till the end hoping that it would get better, but was disappointed. I suppose that, although I have enjoyed post-apocalyptic stories in the past, this is just too grim for me. There has to be something to focus the mind on besides bad things happening to the characters then more bad things happening to the characters. There is no explanation of what happened. There is no hope for better things to happen. I cannot find any art in this book, or any grace.
