nickelsandcoatsWherein I list the books I've read in the past while and review them in 10 words or less.
Engleby by Sebastian Faulks. Delightfully twisted.
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Funny, unusual narrator, gut-wrenching.
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See. Foot-binding and womanhood in gorgeous prose.
All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque. Haunting.
Duma Key by Stephen King. Creepy! but powerful.
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger. A bit disappointing. The ending fell flat and didn't compare to the rest of the book. (so I cheated a little)
The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. Hilarious literary detective work.
Stardust by Neil Gaiman. A little disappointing, but still a good romp.
Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. Loved it! Very funny and great dry humor.
Charlotte Gray by Sebastian Faulks. Slow, but good. Very plotty and a bit hard to follow.
On Chesil Beach by Ian McEwan. Beautiful prose that unfolds the plot wonderfully.
Saturday by Ian McEwan. Couldn't put this one down. Gripping.
Time's Arrow by Martin Amis. Very unique structure; yet another one I couldn't put down.
A Song of Stone by Iain Banks. Confusing. Starts in media res and doesn't ever explain much.
