3 | A tough read for my short attention span | Reading [[ASIN:0385517866 Red Hook Road: A Novel]] took me a very long time because I had difficulty with the pacing at first, and then there were simply too many other books I have to read that grabbed me from the get go. Unlike most books I read, this one did not draw my attention or stimulate my thinking. I made i... | [] | 0385517866 | 0385517866 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,327,418,494,000 | 0 | false |
4 | A literary classic it's not; entertaining crime fiction it is | Being able to read Michael Connelly's second Harry Bosch novel, The Black Ice, on Kindle courtesy of our county library was a thrill.

4 | Hard to believe, but very real | I'd not given much thought lately to the anti Catholic racism which existed in the early 1920's, but was not surprised by what I read in Rising Road: A True Tale of Love, Race, and Religion in America. I was outraged as I thought about still existent white supremacists, and with this book was impressed by Sharon Davie... | [] | 0195379799 | 0195379799 | AGCA64OUVM2TJGNN3IUXMEU7KF6Q | 1,313,158,963,000 | 0 | false |
3 | Arrhythmias in this tale | While listening to Robert Petkoff narrate A Heartbeat Away, I found myself thinking about how some current politicians are acting like the antagonistic Genesis in this novel, terrorizing the state of the Union, not with a gas, but with their own hot airs.

5 | You won't be the same | I don't know if the prices for this book have been reduced because of a current special or if they've permanently been lowered, but I think it's a shame.

4 | New author for me | Gayle Lynds was an author unfamiliar to me, but I was intrigued by the subject and description of this novel.

4 | Longing to love this | I really wanted to love this book but couldn't quite get there. For me, the weakness was in the character of the "Translator," who drove me to look at the image and bio of the author, Manseau, each time I read his chapters.

3 | It's just...ok. | It's good but not great. As a huge harry potter fan I was disappointed with this book.
