Book Reviews from Master The Art of Reading participants Skin by Ted Dekker: If you like to read unpredictable mysteries, this book is for you. It's a bit on the bizarre side, but a good read. Whatever it takes by Richard and Rebecca DuFour: This book analyzes for award-winning schools to determine solutions to the problem: "What do you do with kids who aren't learning?" Easy read. REader is able to pick up strategies to use inthe classroom. Ideas are repeated from time to time. Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan: Very disturbing but interesting. Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden: It's difficult to believe that this novel is just a work of fiction, not a true story. From beginning to end I was captivated and transported to the world of a young girl on an extraordinary journey to become one of the Geisha in Japanese history. E is for Evidence by Sue Grafton: E is for Evidence keeps pace with the rest of Sue Grafton's alphabet mystseries and heroine Kinsey Milhone does not disappoint, and always gets to the bottom of the mystery for better (and in most cases) for worse. 3:26:01 PM
