Fun with Fiction

We have seen a ton of reviews come in so we are breaking them up into three posts.  The first two will be on Fiction.  The last one will focus on the non-fiction or factual book reviews.  Biographies, photography and interior design are all part of the group.  Thanks again everyone! 


From Nancy:

Pirate Latitudes by Michael Crichton

Check our catalog

“A very exciting book about Captain Hunter and pirates in the 17th century. I loved the fact that there were no curse words and I learned about the history of Port Royal also.”

Crows Over the Wheatfield by Adam Braver

“This book portrays the emotions of a young driver who kills a boy in an automobile accident. They don't reveal the boy's name for a while and imagine my shock when I discovered he had the same last name as me!”

Micro by Michael Crichton/Robert Preston

“This was a very exciting book which held your attention although there were many scientific terms. You could tell that it was researched very carefully and unfortunately Michael Crichton died before it was finished.”

A couple from Kelli:

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

“It was interesting to see the importance of literature even in hard times. I enjoyed seeing the lengths the main character would go to save the books she wanted to read.”

Alex Rider: Snakehead by Anthony Horowitz

“I enjoyed this fast-paced action book and read it the same time as my son. The entire Alex Rider series is enjoyable and appropriate for adults and teens.”

Valerie loved these two titles:

The Best of Me by Nicholas Sparks

“Sparks is my guilt pleasure.  I love the settings of his stories.  This book reminded me of The Bridges of Madison County.  This book didn't disappoint!”

Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult


“I read this book in two days!  I couldn't put it down.  I love how Picoult explores current issues through each character's view point.  Make sure this book is on your summer reading list.” 

Here is one from Ben:

The Fault in Our Stars  by John Green

“All romances are doomed to end, whether by breakup or by death; sometimes it's a privilege to have your heart broken. That's how I feel about the heartbreak of The Fault in Our Stars (or, as my wife calls it, An Abundance of Cancer). In the process of "feeling all the feels", as they say on Tumblr, you'll probably end up feeling wrung out but thankful for the ride. I do.”
