Book Review: September 2010

I pushed through a few books in September.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson
The final book in the trilogy did not disappoint. Get out and read this!!! Once again, Stieg Larsson takes us on a journey with Lisbeth Salander that is fast paced and full of secrecy and intrigue. I couldn't put down this book, and you won't be able to either.

The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold
The first chapter of this novel is quite a shocker. But the subsequent chapters did not provide the resolution that I was looking for in the main character's shocking action. I would not recommend this book.

The Night of the Gun by David Carr
This autobiography looks at David's addiction to alcohol and drugs. Told through his recollection and the memories of his family, friends and acquaintances he bares as much of his past as he can remember. I liked this book because he had a unique way of expressing addiction and how easy a relapse can be. It was an honest story, and while I did not sympathize with this character, I would recommend this book.
Happy Reading!
