Infamous by Lex Croucher
5.0
I was enchanted by this story. Parts of it were a but predictable, but the characters are lively and colorful.
The American Heiress by Daisy Goodwin
medium-paced
4.0
I always find myself feeling somewhat bereft as I read the end of a book. This book was such a rollercoaster. I enjoyed the characters, and although I am a bit unsatisfied with the ending, I think that makes it even better. A wonderful first novel for Goodwin.
Something I got from this book: life rarely takes the path you expect, but the unexpected twists and turns can be even more worth while.

I laughed. I cried. I couldn't put it down. The One And Only Ivan is a beautifully written story based on true events, and will absolutely have you on an emotional rollercoaster. Simply written, but with so much depth. This book is a wonderful reminder that no one is insignificant

This book is definitely intriguing, but not one I am likely to revisit. It is a great read if you're looking for something that will leave you with more questions than answers.
