This coming of age story has strong themes including growing up and fitting into your own skin, along with integrity and friendship withstanding difficulties. It is a great book for anyone looking for a good read with a fantastic storyline, different points-of-views, and overall emotional resonance.

While this book does an excellent job of depicting the life of a lower class young man in India, what it depicts is harsh, sad and dark and so this is not a pick-m-up or feel; good book. The story is told by this young man who fancies himself and entrepreneur, but only in the loosest sense of the term. He secures a job as a driver for a family,. A job he very much wants…at the time. But as he matures, he begins to see the world around him and his lot very differently and ends up taking drastic action. A well written and descriptive book.

I recently discovered this author and he has quickly become one of my favorites. This story is creepy and disturbing, but what makes it even more interesting is that the central character, Coraline NOT CAROLINE, is a young girl which allows her to behave in more interesting ways than an adult would. And don’t worry. All of your “But what about…” questions are answered in the end.

Beautiful, heartbreaking story

This book was a true Sherlock Holmes mystery and was very good. The characters are few and the plot is simple to follow and so this telling lets you focus on the character of Holmes, which I enjoyed. This offers a nice glimpse into his personality, seeing how he is when bored, frustrated, and exhausted. The only thing I was not thrilled with was the long description of the backstory at the end by one of the criminals

A tenderly heartfelt story on how 2 best friends, whom one of is moving away, spend their last summer together, and how they overcome obstacles from both perspectives such as grappling with the fear of being forgotten, balancing your new and old friends, and making the most of their last times.

While this is not my genre and while I did not love this book, It does do an excellent job of portraying the conflicts and challenges faced by gay men in the 1050’s in France. Baldwin’s central character brings to life the dichotomy of emotions faced as he struggles to come to terms with his undeniable attraction to men while harboring an understanding of society’s expectations for traditional marriage and family. A well written and thoughtful narrative.

I thought this book was silly!

even creepier than the movie. Pod people duplicate citizens of a small town. The town doctor and his friends need to figure out how not to be duplicated and stop the spread, Over 50 years old
