Still Alice by Lisa Genova
4.0
This book was beautifully written and painted a realistic picture of the suffering Alzheimer's patients and the members of their support system go through. But the author paints a more complete picture of the main character and the way her personality and life changes while she still retains some of her identity and quality of life.
Heaven Is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back by Todd Burpo
4.0
This book was a pretty amazing, quick, uplifting read. It's well-written and if you believe in Heaven you will believe more strongly than you had before.
A Dangerous Mourning by Anne Perry
3.0
These books are fairly consistent in their quality and story lines and I am fan of the characters in the Monk books. `However, I am usually ready for these to be done about 50 pages before they are. But I will probably read the next one in the series to see how Monk and Hester finally get together.
Little Bee by Chris Cleave
4.0
This book was pretty good. It was beautifully written and there was a cliffhanger at the end. It stalled out a little at the end which is why I gave it four stars. It was only 266 pages but it felt like 366.
Anyway, it was a good reminder during the holiday times of extreme excess that not everyone goes to bed at night feeling safe and relatively at peace. Good lesson - again.
