Endearing, humorous and as much a story of family as of a pampered rooster named Buddy. The story was touching, sweet, and comical. It often had me laughing aloud. Recommended for fans of memoirs and animal stories. Quotes:"I never knew joy and sorrow ...

Book Review: The Last Victim by Karen Robards
by Karen Robards
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Stretched the boundaries of belief a bit far but oddly humorous. Unique and attention-grabbing first line. Sympathetic and interesting characters. Extremely sensuous. The actual mystery and suspense were sometimes lost in the business of forging ...

Book Review: The Rental Sister by Jeff Backhaus
by Jeff Backhaus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Immediately compelling. Emotionally gripping. Instantly there is a mystery with a man who has locked himself in his room for three years, refusing to come out (hikikomori). The book was extremely intimate, sometimes uncomfortably so as the reader is ...

Book Review: Faithful Place by Tana French
by Tana French
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I was instantly swept up into the story and the mind of Frank Mackey. The first-person narrative that French employs is unique and effective. The family dynamics are authentic and captivating. The humor dry and sardonic. The author demonstrates amazing ...

Book Review: The Natural by Bernard Malamud
>> by Bernard Malamud
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
From a literary standpoint, The Natural is a fine novel. The imagery sets the dark, unsettling tone that pervades the book. The dialogue is authentic (1950"s). The dry humor helps offset the unhappy circumstances. What was most notable was the way ...
