It took me awhile to really get into the book and at the end I did enjoy it. It's a slow book about two friends in the 50's. It starts when they are adults and Lila has disappeared and her son is looking for her. Instead of helping, Elena is remembering her childhood with Lila. Living in a small village, the violence, the jealousy and the envy that surrounds them.
The author does a good job making us part of the time and places. The struggle living during that time, the lack of choices for education of jobs, approuvals from the parents about the type of person you can marry.
Looking forward to know more about Lila and Elena in the next ones.
The Racketerr reminds me a little bit of one of his old ones The Partner which is one of my favorite. keeps you guessing through the book. I recommend to all the John Grisham fan.
This was not an easy book to read. The characters in this book are rude, nasty just unlikable. At one point I was getting frustrated. I think that`s what the author wanted to do, see how a small town with just one death can transform into a war between parents and their children, students against students and spouses. A the end, which is not an happy ending you realize that this story can happen anywhwere.
This one is a whole different feel than his other works. It was a fun light myster/humourous novel.
Zack Walker is control, paranoid freak and wanting to teach his wife a lesson in not leaving her purse wide open at the grocery store where someone can take it, decides to take it and hide the purse. he made the mistake of taking another womans purse and gets him in trouble, more than he could imagined.
Great novel, had fun reading this one and since it
s a series will read and see what else can happen to Zack Walker.
Very good book about suicide and why some people do it. It explains the state of mind of some people when they think they don't any other way especially teenagers. Worth the read.
I enjoyed this book more than the first one. It was long at times and still with a lot of characters but the story picks up right after the firt one and it was well written and fun to read.
I bought this book on sale thinking it was going to be a simple love story, I was wrong. I got sucked into it and was hard to put down. Great story can't wait to read the next one.
What a creative retelling of Cinderrella set in the future featuring cyborgs!
Great story, imaginative and great fun to read. Of course the ending is predictable but since it`s a series it will go further than the classic fairytale.
This book was all over. Too many characters. I feel the main story was lost and didn't have the climax of revenge. Disappointed.
Very intringuing book. Was a bit too long, some chapters were not necessary. Still a good book
