Historia
It seems like any other day. You wake up, drink a cup of coffee, and head out. But today, when you open your front door, waiting for you is a small wooden box. The contents of this mysterious box tells you the exact number of years you will live. From suburban doorsteps to desert tents, every person on every continent receives the same box. In an instant, the world is thrust into a collective frenzy. Where did these boxes come from? What do they mean? Is there truth to what they promise?

Simple idea, Complex impact
Revisado: 01-22-23
It started off as a simple idea and I started finding flaws I the premise right away. But some of those flaws were addressed eventually. And the character development was intriguing enough to pull me into the story. Creative look at so much of what the American society has experienced the last few years and how we have responded.

Romance a bit much
Revisado: 01-02-23
Fun story if you like fantasy. A bit repetitive with the “vulgar gesture” and “bobbed throat” type descriptions but I appreciated the detailed descriptions of people and places. I enjoy fantasy and it’s a good story, but the detailed sexual encounters were not necessary, especially the constant reference to “size”.

LOTS of Tennis
Revisado: 09-08-22
If you’re into detailed play-by-play tennis action this is the book for you. The relationships are well developed and the story is sound. I’m not a sports fan and still enjoyed the story.

Historia
A masterpiece of satire, this classic has entertained and enlightened readers the world over with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below". At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis gives us the correspondence of the worldly-wise old Devil to his nephew, Wormwood, a novice demon in charge of securing the damnation of an ordinary young man.

Revisado: 08-21-22
Want to know how to discover happiness? Do everything opposite of what Wormwood suggests. This is an intriguing view into the thoughts of humans and how they make us who we are. The narrator presents the material quite professionally and enhances the story being told.

Historia
Looking at real estate isn’t usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can’t fix their own marriage. There’s a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can’t seem to agree on anything.

Historia
It has a dark past - one in which a number of humans were killed. A past that caused it to christen itself "Murderbot." But it has only vague memories of the massacre that spawned that title, and it wants to know more. Teaming up with a Research Transport vessel named ART (you don't want to know what the "A" stands for), Murderbot heads to the mining facility where it went rogue.

Great story - poor pricing

If you enjoy Sci fi but hate gratuitous violence/sex this is a series for you. Not too happy about the price for such a short book.

Historia
Since she was nine years old, Alina Dziak knew she would marry her best friend, Tomasz. Now 15 and engaged, Alina is unconcerned by reports of Nazi soldiers at the Polish border, believing her neighbors that they pose no real threat, and dreams instead of the day Tomasz returns from college in Warsaw so they can be married. But little by little, injustice by brutal injustice, the Nazi occupation takes hold, and Alina’s tiny rural village, its families, are divided by fear and hate. Then, as the fabric of their lives is slowly picked apart, Tomasz disappears.

Beautiful!!
Revisado: 01-05-20
I “couldn’t put this book down”. Such a wonderfully told story of family, persistence, love, frustration. Two stories were interwoven so artfully I was always excited for the beginning of each chapter no matter where it picked up. And the reason I love good historical fiction, I learned so much. I had no idea Polish people suffered so much during WWII. I highly recommend this book.

For centuries, the red planet has enticed the people of Earth. Now an international group of scientists has colonized Mars.

This is the remarkable story of the world they create - and the hidden power struggles of those who want to control it.

Interesting premise
Revisado: 10-13-19
I appreciated the technical aspects of terraforming Mars and the angst between those who want to develop vs those who want to leave the planet in its natural state. I found myself annoyed by some of the personalities and ended up just wanting to “get done” with the story. May not take on the second book.

Wow!
Revisado: 04-13-19
I wasn’t keen on the “voices” but I did appreciate the change of voice as different sections of the story were told. This was a hard story to hear and now to live with. This is our history, it’s ugly and I pray that none of my ancestors were involved. It’s also an important story to hear and retell. I would say it’s just as important as teaching the Holocaust. We must know history in order to not repeat it.

Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she's thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy. But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office.

A sweet, touching story of friendship and inner strength. Eleanor is at once awkward but endearing and you find yourself eager for her to find happiness.
