Nothing Is Missing
This book was given to me and I’m glad I read it. The true audience for this book is primarily people 20-50 years of age and it’s definitely geared more towards women than men. Having said that, Walters has valuable insights into life and living well. I feel that much of what she said didn’t apply to me, but o can see how invaluable her insights could be to women who are in younger stages of life than I am. It is definitely an inspirational read.

This dystopian novel is, in many ways, more depressing than others I’ve read. Although there’s some continuity of life—in a very odd way—there’s little hope. It’s saving grace is the writing. Although I despise jumping around from character to character, David Arnold’s writing was enough to compel me to finish. It’s not the kind of book I normally would read, and I can’t say I enjoyed it. Yet the writing is excellent and I can see how people who like this type of novel would enjoy it.

This is an excellent post-Civil War story about a woman who’d been enslaved as a child and then learned the trade of embalming from a Northern soldier. Back in New Orleans, she comes to grip with her past and learns a lot about herself and others. In some ways, it’s a tough read but in others, it’s a celebration of a coming into herself. There’s not a lot of sugar-coating of the Reconstruction South.

This is a delightful book for maybe 8-12 year olds. I bought it at the recommendation of a student for some of my grandsons and read it to see if it would be appropriate for them. It is! The protagonist is a young teenage boy in 1665 who has been apprenticed to an apothecary Master. It’s a book of adventure and mystery. I have a feeling the entire series would be fun to read.

This novella is a delightful fantasy and I love the concept. The book needs more grammatical editing, in my opinion, and the prose is cumbersome, at times. Short, easy read.

This book picks up shortly after “While Justice Sleeps” leaves off. Many of the same characters continue in Avery Keene’s story, so Abrams is clearly planning a series of books with Avery as the protagonist. For me, this book moved well. Sometimes, I got bogged down in the details, but overall, it was a good and fast read.

This is a fun novel! All the twists and turns of a thriller which involves the US Supreme Court and a lot of medical research made it a good read. It took me a while to get into it and I think some of the characters would benefit from greater development, but I am definitely interested in reading more Avery Keene novels.
