February Book Wrap Up
The Girl with the Louding Voice Abi Daré (****)
A wonderfully informative story filled with so much emotion. It is definitely worth the read. Vivid and captivating. Hard to put down.
Shadow and Bone Leigh Bardugo (**)
The book and all the characters were one-dimensional. There are only major plot points, and no dialogue or details to bring the book to life. I was so excited to read this book and was so disappointed.
The Lace Reader Brunonia Barry (**)
I never connected with the main character. The story jumped around with different flashbacks. I kept hoping the book would get more interesting, but it stayed about the same.
The Last Van Gogh Alyson Richman (****)
This was an exciting book. A real page-turner, filled with beauty and hope. Based on fact, it paints a beautiful picture of Van Gogh’s last months, his art, and the beautiful scenes in which it is set. Told from the perspective of one of Van Gogh’s last subjects, it creates a plausible story of love and art.
A Burnable Book Bruce Holsinger (***)
The book was fascinating and the descriptions of the various parts of London were mind-blowing. But the style of writing and the skipping from one venue to the next made it a hard book to concentrate on.
The Art of Racing in the Rain Garth Stein (****)
The engaging writing style, unique perspective, and underlying life lessons, make this a book one that I would recommend to anyone who has ever wondered what their dog was thinking.
