Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind
4.0
Scent is one of the most powerful triggers for memory, and in Patrick Suskind's book, scent is the trigger for many dark deeds as well! The book is well-written, though not for the faint of heart!
We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver
4.0
Extremely dark and disturbing, this book forces the reader to confront the nightmarish topic of a school shooting from the point of view of the shooter's mother - an unrelenting narrator with basically nothing left to lose. I cannot claim to understand exactly what drew me in and kept me reading, but I surprisingly enjoyed this book.
Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha by Roddy Doyle
3.0
While the narrative is a bit hard to follow at times, the story was enjoyable overall!
The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson
5.0
A delightful, charming story full of interesting characters who get themselves into situations that have to be read to be believed! This book was full of laugh outloud moments!
Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
4.0
A well-written novel with several twists that have to be read to be believed!
The Last Anniversary by Liane Moriarty
4.0
I really enjoyed this book. It was a fun, lighthearted read, for the most part.
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
5.0
I LOVED this book! I could relate to the character of Don, someone who often feels awkward in social situations yet, like the rest of us, wants relationships with others. The love story aspect of the novel was smart and had me rooting for Don to get a happy ending! Definitely one of the most satisfying books I've ever read!
The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion
5.0
Once again I found myself laughing and crying while rooting for Don! This sequel to The Rosie Project was highly enjoyable!
The Red Queen by Margaret Drabble
2.0
I found The Red Queen difficult to get in to for at least the first 250 pages, mostly because I couldn't relate to any of the main characters.
