The Graveyard Book

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely loved this book.



While I thought it a bit disturbing in the beginning the book grew on it and I couldn't put it down.



Bod (Nobody) was a lovable character that was trying to fit in, in both a world of humans and of the afterlife.



I know that this book won a Newberry award and is found in the children's section of the bookstore...I am suprised though, because it starts out with murder in some, but not overly explict detail which I found a little too much for a child.



I'd recommend this to everyone.

Unaccustomed Earth

Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri

My review

rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have been wanting to read this book for a while now and I am SO glad that I did.



I love to feel like I have been educated in some way when I read a book and this book did that for me in a way. I feel like I have a better understanding of Indian culture. It put together pieces for me in how other cultures live here in america. She showed us how some people change and some don't and how it affects their families.



It was great book with separate storylines that all seemed woven together in a very loose way.



I would recommend this book to everyone.

The girl's guide to hunting and fishing

The Girls' Guide to Hunting and Fishing by Melissa Bank

My review

rating: 3 of 5 stars
So I picked this book up in the bargain bin at my local library and read it about a day.



It was a quick read, kind of cutsy, kind of strange. The poor girl in the story had some strange relationships which were hard to relate to.



I am not sure if I would recommend it unless you like chick lit types of books.
