People of the Book
by Geraldine Brooks
4 of 5 stars
Was kind of like the Da Vinci Code, only not. The book tells the story of a rare book expert examining the Sarajevo Haggadah, cutting away to excerpts of the book’s (largely made up) history. The cut-aways are actually more interesting than the main story line. After sobbing uncontrollably through Schindler’s List, I don’t usually go in for anything related to the persecution of Jews, but the author told the story with just enough terrible detail—not too much.
Recommendation: Read at your local coffee shop or Barnes & Noble—people will think you are totes intellectual.
Mr. Monk and the Dirty Cop
by Lee Goldberg
4 of 5 stars
Read a whole lot better than most books-based-on-media. Plus I love the Monk TV series, so it was a win-win for me. Cute and a quick page turner.
Recommendation: A book both you and your Murder She Wrote loving gramma can read and then discuss.
