Book Review: Our Souls at Night by Kent Haruf

by Kent Haruf

My review: 4.5 of 5 stars

As Kent Haruf"s last novel before his death, Our Souls at Night is bittersweet in more ways than one. The sparse but delicate prose managed to covey as much depth in the unspoken as in the spoken, perhaps more. I was immediately taken with Addie"s

Book Review: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews

My review: 5 of 5 stars

For a few days now, I"ve been living inside the head of a teenaged boy. I won"t lie. It was fairly disgusting in there. Foul language, sexual thoughts, gross images, and plenty of snarky comments. While Greg Gaines, the narrator, the "me," in Me and Earl and the Dying

by Carol Rifka Brunt
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Immediately arresting with fascinating characters. I particularly related because it was set in 1987 when I was in high school. The fourteen-year-old narrator is excellent but unreliable because of her immature and limited viewpoint. The eighties ...

Book Review: Sideways by Rex Pickett

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Although I enjoyed the scenery and the wine-tastings, I didn"t care for the self-absorbed Miles and the amoral Jack. There was too much foul language and too many rampant sexcapades for my taste. If you like buddy movies with a lot of drinking and debauchery, you may ...
