Beach Road by James Patterson
2.0
I usually love James Patterson's books, and my daughter recommended I read this one as she had enjoyed it. However I was just NOT able to get into it and I gave up after the second chapter. I really wanted to like it, but if a book doesn't grab my attention and keep it, I don't try to force myself to finish it. Maybe I'll try it again someday. Not today though.
Furious Cool: Richard Pryor and the World That Made Him by David Henry
3.0
I enjoyed reading about Richard Pryor because I love his comedy and movies, and I also know how debilitating addiction to any sort of drug can be. The one thing I didn't liked about this book is that in many places, I felt the authors were unnecessarily insulting to Richard and his memory. I'm all for being truthful, but at a couple points I felt the authors were being disrespectful instead of honest.
Dark Mountain by Richard Kelly
3.0
This was the first book I've read by Richard Laymon. It was okay- not great or terrifying, but not horrible either. It kind of reminded me of Dean Koontz's work. Some of the dialogue didn't ring true to me, especially from the younger children in the story. But all in all it was pretty good, and makes me want to read some more of his books to see if I like them better.
The Transfer by Veronica Roth
4.0
Too short!! But I still loved it and can't wait to read the next one.
