Book Reviews from Master The Art of Reading participants Eve by Chris Carter: This book is about genetics and human cloning and what can go wrong. Bodies Left Behind by Jeffrey Deaver: Another fine Deaver. Fast-paced and excitement filled. Good character development. Worth reading. You'll love it if you like Deaver. 1001 Ways to be Romantic by Gregory Godek: Loved it! I actually implemented some of the ideas--cute stories. Lord of the Flies by William Golding: Classic literature! Excellent! Buffalo Gordon by Sinclair Lewis: Welcome addition to fictional historical written of a neglected period and subject: the buffalo soldiers, brought to live via one Nate Gordon, a sargeant major in the 10th United States Calvarym, a former runaway slave. Lewis's descriptions of life and times--well researched. Missing Mom by Joyce Carol Oates: Well crafted tale of losing one's mother, the experience of becoming an adult orphan--sibling relationships, coming to terms with ones understanding of this event, unfinished expectations, unique, too, yet universally recognized transition. 2:49:30 PM
