Book Reviews from Master The Art of Reading participants

In the Lake of the Woods by Tim O'Brien: Cleverly constructed mystery of events where the private/public acts intersect, transforming reality-present and past. Insightful presentation of Vietnam War casualties.

Sunrise Song by Catherine Palmer: Entertaining romance in an exotic setting-great story of animal and human nature. Leaves you wanting to know more about elephants in Africa!

Before Sunrise by Diana Palmer: Entertaining romantic/mystery-parallel false leads to unravel. Misconceptions between the would-be lovers and about the crimes committed.

Fate of Mice by Susan Palwick: A collection of short stories which transport you to a new perspective on reality(ies) and where the author's imagination creates poignant tales the reader can identify with-scifi fairy tales-aesop fables.

My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult: It was fast-paced, easy reading. Touching and perceptive but I did not like the ending.

Riding the Dragon by Robert J. Wicks: This book is amazing! It is perfect for an individual dealing with burn out, loss, or a change in their life. It nicely lays out 10 lessons to be learned that are easy to read.
