The Female Persuasion by Meg Wolitzer
2.0
I struggled SO hard to finish this book. It dragged on and on and on with useless information. Different points of view, that really had nothing to do with the real plot.. I couldn't even remember what the climax was. Following Greer's story was nice, and the ending wasn't anything I expected, but decent. As mentioned in other reviews, just boring.
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
4.0
Children's book... but still had fun reading it as an adult. Each chapter was like a mini story within itself and the character's in the graveyard. Bod Owens is a little boy just like all of us who wants to explore beyond his little box... never allowed to leave by his "parents" The Owens and another caretaker named Silas. I loved that the offer switched things up, character to character, yet still was able to tie in important parts of the book such as why Bod was a baby when he was found in the graveyard and to the ending when it all wrapped up together. I listened to the Full-Cast Production and I felt like I was literally watching a movie with my imagination, with the sounds and the effects. This was a great listen, and I can't wait to read more of Neil Gaiman's books!
