Crow Lake by Mary Lawson

Crow Lake by Mary Lawson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a bit of a heart break story. Three children growing up in northern Ontario have an extremely life altering experience when their parents go to shop and are killed in an accident. The eldest boy, who has been planning on going to teacher's college, decided to drop his plans and finish raising his brother and sister.

An excellent read, thoroughly enjoyable. I will be reading more of this author's works.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Tess Monaghan, a young private detective finds herself with two important jobs. One, to locate a child that had been given up for adoption and secondly, to discover the true murderer of a teenaged boy that an older Luther Beal had been found guilty of.

I nicely paced, interesting story.

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

The book was well written and my low rating is not based on that, but on interest. I found it was an almost whole book of chasing and small hallways and passages. The ultimate end was very disappointing. The book kept promising something that it never really delivered. It was nothing at all like his first two books, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion

The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion


Don Tillman, a professor of genetics, is extremely awkward socially. He has never got past a first date.

He starts a project to find the perfect partner listing all the must and must not. Must not be a smoker, drinker or barmaid. Must be punctual, etc.

He meets Rosie who is on a different quest; to find her biological father and who better than an expert in DNA.

A thoroughly enjoyable, feel good read.

The World According To Bob by James Bowen

The World According to Bob: The further adventures of one man and his street-wise cat by James Bowen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A wonderfully inspiring memoir, continued from his first book "A Street Cat Named Bob".

The story of a man and his cat, living on the streets, and how having a pet helped him change his life.

These books are too good to miss. Written so completely honestly that you are carried away into James' street life in London and his day to day existence.

It gives insight into the homeless and vulnerable among us. Something we all need to see and face.

Excellent!
