So "I Am Number 4" was a gigantic disappointment in print & on screen (according to my students' reviews of the movie). James Frey is an egomaniac... that's all I have to say.
Next up: "The Murderer's Daughters" by Randy Susan Meyers. It's the tale of an alcoholic's family -- after killing his wife and injuring one daughter, he tries (and fails) to take his own life before the second daughter finds the whole mess. The book follows the two daughters through the next thirty years of their lives as they deal with the trauma of their father's decision (and pray that he stays incarcerated!). It's only 320 pages -- we'll plan to read half for next week.
We had a few other choices as well. If you get a minute, check out "The French Gardener," "Saving Max" and "The List." Comment the blog or send me an email with your recommendation & we can pick your book next!
Happy Reading!
