Book Reports

I truly love to read. Some days, I have to yank myself out of books to return to the land of the living. Some recent books that I've read are...



House Rules by Jodi Piccoult
She is an amazing author- this book is about an autistic 18-year-old accused of murdering his tutor. He looks guilty because, like others with autism, he won't look you in the eye...he doesn't show emotion in the courtroom about his tutor dying. It's a great read just like her other books.




Italian for Beginners by Kristin Harmel
Cute. Easy, fun read. It's like a modern-day take on Roman Holiday. Makes you want to visit Italy.



Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
love it. Have read it multiple times and still love it.



Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel garcia Marquez
Okay, I know that this is a Nobel prize winner and there were neat parts but mainly I just kept thinking....edit.




The Enemy Within by Noel Hynd
Meh. It had it's moments. I liked Conspiracy in Kiev better.

Thanks for the suggestions! I had the hardest time getting into Love in the Time of Cholera...and I'm kind of ashamed to say I never finished it...know what you mean.
