U is for Undertow by Sue Grafton Review

This is my first experience reading a Sue Grafton mystery. What a treat! From the time I first started the book, she had me entranced. The story revolves around Kinsey Millhone, a 37 year old private investigator, who is hired to investigate an unsolved kidnapping of a little girl, Mary Claire Fitzhugh who disappeared twenty years before. Her probing, which at first seems to lead to a dead end, actually unleashes a tangle of complicated stories that provides insight to the twenty year mystery. The setting splits between 1988, the "current" time of Kinsey's investigation, and 1967, the year of the child's kidnapping. The narration forks between Kinsey Millhone as she unfolds some inconsistencies in what appears to be nothing on the surface, Deborah Unruh, the grandmother turned mother to a little girl who experienced a similar episode as the missing girl, and other characters who unfold and show the sometimes undignified side of human nature. Each of the character's stories are enthralling, told in a voice that mirrors reality and captures the intricate details that shows how events can mold the character and direction of a life. At first, the stories may seem independent of each other, but as events from the past collide with the present, it becomes evident that their stories are intertwined and come together to portray the truth of the past, bit by bit. Additionally, another subplot unfolds regarding Kinsey's personal life--her reconciling resentment regarding her family. An orphan, Kinsey was raised by her aunt who alienated her from the rest of her family. This subplot of Kinsey discovering the truth about her past was touching, and added an intimate flair to an already moving narrative. I'm glad that I stumbled upon Grafton's novel. She has a gift with storytelling, and her mystery was not only engaging but written masterfully. I may not have the background with the Kinsey Millhone mystery series, but with her narrating abilities, my lack of history with the Kinsey Millhone mysteries did not hinder my understanding of the book. This is great reading, the kind of story that rallies all of your emotions--from sympathy, to anger, to triumph. For those who enjoy mysteries and a well-written book, I give this novel my highest recommendation

House Rules by Jodi Picoult Review

I almost always enjoy Jodi's books and while I did enjoy reading House Rules I can't put it in the same class as others she has written. It was an interesting look into Asperger's but at times seemed a little cliche and did not always ring true. Also the plot was just weak. It was so obvious from the very beginning what the "twist" was that I almost didn't want to finish reading because I knew how it was going to end from the time the girl went missing. Still, Jodi has a very engaging style and her characters are mostly interesting and very well fleshed out which kept me reading to the end. Maybe borrow this one from the library instead of buying right away. Worth the read but others of her books come much more highly recommended.

Switched (Trylle Trilogy 1) Book Review| Amanda Hocking

I stumbled upon this book while hunting down my next read. I was intrigued by the description and also by the very low price. Pros: - The writing is smooth and very easy to read. I was drawn in immediately and would often digest great lengths before putting it down. It only took me 2 days to finish. - The storyline is unique. I had a hard time getting over the "troll" element, but I appreciate that it is something different. - I am a sucker for fairy-tales, so I appreciated the old world elements wound into the plot (balls, castles, beautiful gowns...) - Some of the character were incredibly enjoyable. I loved Rhys, Matt, and Willa the most. They were well-written and likable. Cons - Hocking repeats the word 'foxy'. It made me wonder about Hocking's age, as the word seemed out of place. At first, it was only used by the main character, so I thought it was placed in there purposefully as part of her character, but then other characters started to use it. Very odd. - Some of the Trylle history was not explained clearly. Much of it was explained through dialogue, which I found tedious. Narrative would have been a better choice, in my opinion (or perhaps a mix of both). - I am just not feeling the romance between Wendy and her tracker. I am much more interested in a romance between she and Rhys. Overall, I enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to the next one!

Rescue: A Novel for Kindle & Ipad | Anita Shreve

"Rescue" is the story of Peter Webster, a man whose vocation is to save lives, who also struggles with his own family's self-destructive tendencies. Unlike many of Shreve's previous novels, which deal with life choices and their consequences, this is more about the way people cope with situations as they are given to them, circumstances that are beyond their control. (Is romantic love a choice or a given?) It is about a husband and father who continues to play the role of rescuer because there are no alternatives. The structure of "Rescue" is perhaps less ambitious than many of Shreve's better novels ("Where or When" and "All He Ever Wanted" stand out as my favorite). The story unfolds in a fairly straight-forward, linear manner, its two parts set eighteen years apart. But the story is compelling, and I ended up caring about the characters. As with many of her novels, the ending is left somewhat ambiguous, which may or may not appeal to the reader. I'm okay with the lack of closure, believing it is done with intent and purpose. Shreve delivers another page-tuner. Rescue: A Novel

Crescent Dawn Book Review | Clive cussler

I found this to be a fantastic book that drew me in from the turn of the first page...I think my wrist got as sore as my eyes as I quickly attempted to digest the entire story at one sitting....You will find that to be an impossible task. At over 500 pages for the twenty first book in this series, I also thought it was a great price, real "bang" for your buck. This is what Cussler constantly does though. The words, chapters and books (no matter the subject or "stars" in the lead roles), never got boring and each letter draws the mind deeper and deeper into the depths of a well written and fully developed character and plot. I can't wait to get my hands on his next book...Whether it's in the Oregon Files, Isaac Bell (which are both incredible series)....you and I, the reader are in for a treat!!!

Bonhoeffer book Review | Eric Metaxas

Dietrich Bonhoeffer is one of my favorite theologians and one of the most influential theologians on my life and calling to the ministry. So when I saw this book being offered by Thomas Nelson, I had to jump on it, and I'm glad I did. Like many seminarians, I was introduced to Bonhoeffer through The Cost of Discipleship and Life Together. But I really didn't know a lot about the person. There was a little bit of background information in my copy of The Cost of Discipleship, but that was it. This book changes all of that. From his early childhood to his arrest and subsequent martyrdom for his involvement in the conspiracy against Hitler, Metaxas draws from the letters of Bonhoeffer as well as his family to write this biography. Metaxas weaves the brilliant story that is the life and death of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the man who stood and preached for what he believed. When the church in Germany failed to stand up to Hitler, Bonhoeffer did. This is his life. Through Bonhoeffer's life and death, we really do see the cost of discipleship. This book is a must have for all students of Bonhoeffer. I give this book 5 our of 5 stars. Disclaimer: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their book review bloggers program. Providing me a free copy in no way guarantees a favorable review. The opinions expresses in this review are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."
