Book Review - The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

The phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" certainly applies to The Graveyard Book. Dark and mysterious creatures, witches, ghosts, and ghouls may not seem appropriate for young readers, that is until you read the pages and contemplate what the author is conveying in this compelling book. Aimed for readers ages 9-12, this book will speak volumes about life, choices made, and consequences while holding the interest of the young reader with the fascinating storyline.

Book Review - The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards

The Memory Keeper's Daughter is an astounding novel that is beautifully written. However, there are too many unexplainable events in the storyline that leaves the reader not believing in the experience. A novel such as this should leave you accepting that this could have happened, that these events are acceptable but with so many questionable occurrences, the ending left me empty.
