WORTH IT!

A historical novel from Marie Antoinette's perspective. (rated 3 stars)

Versailles

by Kathryn Davis

While I enjoyed this book, I didn’t particularly like the way the author wrote some chapters as if they were performed by actors on a stage (you know like “Marie Antoinette exists stage left”). Occasionally found the book confusing.

Predictable (rated 3 stars)

The Book of Bright Ideas

by Sandra Kring

I thought the book was very predictable, but it was a very easy read and it did have some memorable “bright ideas.”

Campion - The Cast of the Late Pig

Couldn’t get into this. Poirot has me spoiled.

"S.S." GIGANTIC ACROSS THE ATLANTIC: The Story of the World's Biggest Ocean Liner Ever

I finally bought this for my son. Funny story and good illustrations. What more can you ask for in a kid’s book?

A Spree in Paree

by Catherine Stock

Cute kids story, nice illustrations. I think I must buy this. Set in France, naturellement. Has a “Babe: Pig In The City”-esque quality to it.

A story about "On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss"

nobody@allconsuming.net (justgeorgeaz) — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 16:48:45 GMT

On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss

by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

I actually finished reading this a few of weeks ago. This book and the Kübler-Ross five stages of loss, I’ve come to learn, is studied by people in the counseling field. However, I appreciated the book’s non-clinical perspective.

I’m not sure if it has helped me—no book probably could—although it did let me know my grief is normal and a little about what to expect as time passes.

I do recommend it.

A review of "Blue"

nobody@allconsuming.net (justgeorgeaz) — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 07:13:31 GMT

Blue

by Joyce Moyer Hostetter

On my continued quest to read all the young adult books I’ve missed during my youth, I picked up this book mainly based on it’s cover which made me think of “To Kill A Mockingbird.” Set in North Carolina during the polio epidemic and WWII of 1940s, the author actually transports you to the era with her words. It’s a really fast, well researched, yet emotional read.
