A roaring era, seances, and a love story. Starts strong and kind of fizzles at the end.

Dave is, again, hilarious and honest. I laughed out loud. At Dave? At men? Yes.

This short book is long on pathos. Vivid and gripping.

Very insightful and tragically informative.

So, reading this made me wonder what the heck all the fuss is about in regard to William Faulkner. Then I learned he was a drunk. Explains a lot.

Class clashes and forbidden love--how could this book NOT be good?

Fannie rides again with this gem. When you need a cozy read on a bad day, this is perfect ticket.

If you enjoy slogging through thigh-high muck, with mosquitos biting every inch of exposed skin, the sun blaring in your eyes, and trying to talk to a person 50 feet away while a boom box blares in your ears, you should love this. After reading it I read that he intentionally made it hard to read, to symbolize the difficulty the main character was having in the book. Mission accomplished!

Sage advice from Dave for those business-types out there. Perhaps read a few other books on the topic, too.

Theo does a great job of telling a story based on true events; always a hit with me. This is a cautionary tale of greed and a society that breeds it.

This cute book cleverly outlines the efforts of Ella in navigating around the censorship of certain letters by her island's council. Well-told and a little mind-bending.

Chilling. With the French Revolution as a backdrop, Charlie tells of the political uprising of the time, the madness of unthinking fervor (hmmm . . . know anyplace like that?) and unbelievable love and loyalty.
