A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this book. Words can't express how moving it is. Yes, it's long & involved, but each section is relevant & necessary. The best way to describe how good it is is to tell you how much I feel for certain characters & how much I dislike to the point of hate other characters. Things happen in the book that I wish didn't, but that is also true in life. It's not fair, the "good guys" don't always win & sometimes there are good & bad people on both sides.

I didn't read this book, I listened to the audio production as I did for the first book in the series. The reader is incredible, he does a great job of creating different voices & accents for different characters & somehow manages to keep them all straight even though there is a large cast of characters. It ends on a positive note where the first book ended in a more depressing manner. Yes, tragedies have occurred & destruction has been wrought, but, well, I don't want to give anything away because I want you all to read this series.

The Ghost Writer

The Ghost by Robert Harris

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


I feel like I should've seen the end coming but I was completely taken by surprise. This is another fantastic book by Robert Harris. I was talking the other day with my dad about some of his books & my dad said (& I think this says volumes about Harris' ability as a versatile writer), "I've read those but I never realized they were by the same author." You can't go wrong with picking up any one of his books.

Armadillo by William Boyd

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


It's a satire but what is it satirizing? I didn't get it.

Quick Book Review

Fletch Won by Gregory McDonald


My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I love Gregory McDonald & the Fletch series. I'm currently rereading them in order as I read them all willy nilly as I could find them in used book stores the first time around. Funny funny funny. I love the way he turns a phrase.
