The Secret by Lee Child
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Glad Jack is back in his army days. I find this more realistic than a guy going around with just a toothbrush in his pocket. Still, a good story with an interesting plot. Wonderful good guys and awful bad guys, that's why I read it.

Julia by Sandra Newman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is quite a book. Before I say a thing, I must tell you that you do not have to reread 1984 to get this book. If you have the vaguest notion of that amazing book then this will be a fine read. I believe that even with no knowledge of 1984 you will still find this book intriguing.
I had trouble with the graphic nature of some the chapters. The images are hard to get out of your mind. She is such a good author that as a reader I felt some of the horror.
That being said, I believe the modern, feminine update on the classic is probably worth the read if you are not to squeamish.

The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store by James McBride
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Quite an interesting story with interesting characters. I loved the story but mostly the perspective of living in that era both as Jewish and as Black. What a clever and well written story. This is an author to cherish because of his insight into humanity. He seems to see from every perspective.
