The Maze Runner by James Dashner
4.0
Great read. The plot line was never what I expected; it kept me guessing, and once I got got about a quarter of the way in, I couldn't stop.
Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin
4.0
What I liked most about this book was the authors' unique perspective on what happens when you die. The premise reminded me of a The Lovely Bones, but was much lighter, and much more predictable.
Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption by Laura Hillenbrand
5.0
All I can say is, wow. Zamperini's ability to persevere through unparalleled, terrifying obstacles kept me turning the pages of this book into the late hours of the night; it reads like fiction. I am still reeling from all that Louis endured. Finished in one sitting. A great book for all ages, although I'd highly recommend it to any reluctant male readers.
Why School?: How Education Must Change When Learning and Information Are Everywhere by Will Richardson
5.0
A quick read that validated a lot of my own thoughts on education and technology and how to move forward in an ever changing environment. I especially appreciated the concrete examples and applicable ideas that Richardson provided the reader.
