Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock Review

5 out of 5 stars

Wow. That's really all I can say about Forgive Me, Leonard Peacock, just wow. What an amazing book. Heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time. I could not put this down and read it in just a few hours. I think the only thing I can say is my favorite quote from the book.
"Keep weeding
Weed your mind
And man the great light
Even when no one is looking."
Wow

The Innocent Review

5 out of 5 stars

This is only my second book by David Baldacci, but I may have to put him on my to read author list. I loved it. I found the first few chapters slow because I wasn't sure why I was getting so much detail about things that didn't seem important. But David Baldacci crafts an intricate story. He builds layers and depth. The characters are believable and moving. The pace keeps building till at one point I had to get up and walk around because I had all this energy from the book!

I would recommend The Innocent to fans of thrillers and political intrigue.

Deeply Odd Review

5 out of 5 stars

Odd Thomas is one of my favorite characters. He seems both incredibly wise and also somehow innocent despite everything he has done. His books are both comic and terrifying in turn.
I have loved every Odd Thomas book, but the first one, Odd Thomas, has always been my favorite. I think Deeply Odd now challenges that. Deeply Odd is Dean Koontz at his best, with Odd Thomas at his best. Touching, comic, terrifying, and deep.
I could not put Deeply Odd down.

The Help Review

The Help is an amazing book. I could not put it down. It made me laugh and it made me cry. Maybe most importantly it made me think. It is the kind of book that you don't forget.

The author does an amazing job in giving all of the women of the book a voice. I felt like I knew each and every one of them, and maybe that is the point I do know each and every one of them.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has not yet read it.
