There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Would you be willing to try another book from Peter Clines? Why or why not?
I would. The story kept me guessing and had very interesting characters throughout.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the book. The ending was a bit off the wall, but I didn't dislike it.

Revisado: 02-20-13
Who was your favorite character and why?
Arthur Art. He was very likeable and gave you insight to what it must be like to be overweight and homebound.
Any additional comments?
I enjoyed this book much more than I expected and really enjoyed Arthur's story.

Good story that kept you guessing
Revisado: 02-20-13
Would you listen to Defending Jacob again? Why?
No, it was a good story, but now that I know the ending there would not be a need to listen again.
Any additional comments?
I thought the book was a good overall read, but Andy's character was a bit annoying. The twist at the end was a huge surprise.

Despite the tumor-shrinking medical miracle that has bought her a few years, Hazel has never been anything but terminal, her final chapter inscribed upon diagnosis. But when a gorgeous plot twist named Augustus Waters suddenly appears at Cancer Kid Support Group, Hazel’s story is about to be completely rewritten. The Fault in Our Stars is insightful, bold, irreverent, and raw. It brilliantly explores the funny, thrilling, and tragic business of being alive and in love.

Emma Forrest, a British journalist, was just 22 and living the fast life in New York City when she realized that her quirks had gone beyond eccentricity. In a cycle of loneliness, damaging relationships, and destructive behavior, she found herself in the chair of a slim, balding, and effortlessly optimistic psychiatrist--a man whose wisdom and humanity would wrench her from the dangerous tide after she tried to end her life.

The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.

Meet Harold Fry, recently retired. He lives in a small English village with his wife, Maureen, who seems irritated by almost everything he does, even down to how he butters his toast. Little differentiates one day from the next. Then one morning the mail arrives, and within the stack of quotidian minutiae is a letter addressed to Harold in a shaky scrawl from a woman he hasn’t seen or heard from in twenty years. Queenie Hennessy is in hospice and is writing to say goodbye.

Good Enough
Revisado: 10-02-12
Is there anything you would change about this book?

Would you be willing to try another book from Amor Towles? Why or why not?
I would be willing to try another book from this author depending on the subject matter. I enjoyed all the NYC references in Rules of Civility.
Do you think Rules of Civility needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No I don't believe it needs a follow up book. They ended the story with closure.
