Eleanor H. Porter

Pollyanna--such a cute book.  It was a fun, quick read.  Uplifting as well, kinda puts life into perspective a bit.

J.D. Salinger

The Catcher in the Rye--hated this book.  I couldn't get into it.  I couldn't relate with the character at all and the language made Stephen King look like an innocent child was speaking.  I struggled, but I've heard others loved it, so don't let my review deter you from reading it if you are so inclinced. :)

Ally Condie

Matched--Not too bad.  It finally picked up toward the middle.  It was really predictable for me, but I still enjoyed the storyline for the most part.

Christopher Paolini

Eragon--(current read)

Kurt Vonnegut

Slaughterhouse Five--This book kept me engaged because I just couldn't understand why the kid was doing what he was doing.  I wanted to get into his psyche.  It wasn't my favorite book, and extremely explicit, but overall intriguing.

Matthew J. Kirby

The Clockwork Three--It was a good book.  My mom knows the author and his wife, so it was fun to read.  I enjoyed reading it...there was even Italian in it! (makes every book better :) )

Agate Nesaule

A Woman in Amber: Healing the Trauma of War and Exile--Wow!  It was horrific and shocking, but so real.  It is about a woman and her experience of living through the war.
