by Jane Green

The book is about a girl that is involved with two very different guys and how she handles these two relationships.
I really liked this book. It is a very easy read and it’s hard to put down the book. Even though it is pretty predictable, I still enjoyed every part of it.

Anybody Out There?: A Novel

by Marian Keyes

I really liked this book! The author has an incredible ability to make you care about the characters in her books. You want to know more about them, which, in my opinion, makes a good book. I think the books about the Walsh family are some of the best chick-lit ever!

The Lovely Bones

by Alice Sebold

It’s an okay book but no more than that. The book was easy to read but I thought it was pretty boring at times. It still has some interesting points though. I believe the movie will turn out to be better than the book.

A review of "Slow Man" (rated 3 stars)

Slow Man

by J.M. Coetzee

The book is about a man that get his leg removed after an accident. You get to see how this affects his life and the way he sees life. I didn’t like the book that much, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone since a lot of other books are much better. That being said it still got to me at some point. I think we all need an Elizabeth Costello in our lives to shake things up a bit. The character manages to make me appreciate life a little bit more.

A review of "The Neon Rain"

The Neon Rain

by James Lee Burke

The book is the first in a series with lieutenant David Robicheaux. It’s the only one of them I have read and I must say that I’m not that big a fan. The main character is a sort of anti-hero, but his dark sides are too exaggerated if you ask me. And because of this I don’t feel any sympathy for the character and really don’t care about his problems. But if you are able to look passed this I believe it could be an okay book.

A story about "Saturday"

Saturday

by Ian McEwan

I really didn’t like the book at first, but about halfway in it started growing on me. The author somehow manages to balance the psychological and the psysiological sides of the human brain when he describes what the main character goes through on a Saturday. It’s a book that’s hard to forget.

Angels : A Novel

by Marian Keyes

I love her books about the Walsh family. This one is particularly fun and a perfect example of how good chick-lit can be. Only bad thing I can say is that it’s too short.

A story about "Endless Night (1967)"

Endless Night (1967)

In my opinion, this is one of the best books (if not the best) she has ever written. All of her books have good plots, but this one is especially surprising.

A story about "On, Off: A Novel"

On, Off: A Novel

by Colleen McCullough

A very good book! The plot is fantastic and you keep blaming different people for the murders. Very hard to figure out (at least I think so). I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes a nice thriller.
Only drawback is that there are MANY people to keep track off, which requires your full attention. But still GOOD.
