Review: Water for Elephants

Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book started off slow for me, but about half way through it got interesting. I didn't think I'd end up giving it 4 stars. I could have done without the animal violence, but I'll look past that one. Overall, it was a nice book that read fairly quickly.

Review: Decision Points

Decision Points by George W. Bush

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I had to read this book to see what his thought process was while in the White House. It was a long book, but quite readable. It left me with a more positive view of George as a person. Even though I still don't agree with some of his decisions, I understand them.

Review: The Book Thief

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book has a brutal ending! Overall I liked it, but there were places where it was dragging for me. The last quarter is can't-put-down-able.
