Where the Crawdads Sing

This little girl is far more resourceful than most adults, much less children her age, and her story of repeated abandonment is heartbreaking.

I had heard good things about this book, but I wasn’t prepared for how it sucked me into the lives of these characters, who all felt so real.

Overall I liked this book, but there’s room for improvement.

I didn’t love this book, but I was impressed with how effective it was at making me feel for all the characters.

This book is well written, I just couldn’t get on board with the characters and at times it felt like Egan was trying to do too much in one book.

I didn’t love this book as much as I did “The God of Small Things,” but the other members of my book club liked it even less.

This graphic novel is a fun, quick read that will make you reconsider your relationship with food.

This sequel turns the fairy tale “happily ever after” on its head and deals with romantic relationships in a much more realistic way.

Hardy’s poetic prose narrated by Alan Rickman’s magnificent voice is a match made in heaven.

This is a book about an unlikely marriage, but it’s not about two people living miserably ever after.
