Book Reviews from Master The Art of Reading participants

What if someone you know is gay? by Eric Marcus: Good resource book for anyone.

Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead: As thing begin to escalate between Rose and Dmitri, Rose my be forced to choose between her best friend and the man she loves.

I do not come to you by chance by Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani: This story is gripping. In Nigeria, a young man's college degree proves worthless, yet he is the only hope for his family's survival. First reluctant, he finally embraces his uncle's criminal activities. A revealing look at a lucrative, criminal underworld, a hopeless society, and a young man's heart and mind. You will be educated and amazed.

Sixth Target by James Patterson: A good read.

Good Dog, Stay by Anna Quindlen: This is the worst short story I've read in a long time. For having a #1 best seller, this book was horrible. Any random person could have written about their pet better!

Inside the Revolution by Joel Rosenberg: Interesting as it reviews the Middle East history since the 9/11 attack and his insight with his involvement in quite a deep way, as he spent a lot of time there and his interaction with the leaders. It is from a Christian perspective.

Fractured by Karen Slaughter: I read about half of it and quit. It is too wordy and dragged out. Also a lot (too much) of the "blue" language in it or cursing. It became annoying. Good plot but not well done.

Still Dirty by Vickie Stringer: This book is about a woman's boyfriend who got in a violent fight with her ex-boyfriend eh to to Mexico. But came to cleaning up after ned dirty deeds.

Gray Ghost by William Tapply: Enjoyable read.

Murder at the FBI by Margaret Truman: I have come to enjoy her books. They are easy to follow and have a good plot. She seems to carry out the whole scene well in a way that holds my attention.
