Mainstream Reviews

“Heft” by Liz Moore – beautifully crafted story with characters that got under my skin

“Lone Wolf” by Jodi Picoult – Excellent novel made even more compelling by audio performance

“The Virgin Suicides” by Jeffrey Eugenides – repulsive book that drained my will to listen

The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry – challenging book where nothing is as it seems

“Juliet Naked” by Nick Hornby (audio book) – obsession, co-dependency and celebrity explored in the context of a Trans-Atlantic comedy of manners

“Backseat Saints” by Joshilyn Jackson

“Playing For Pizza” John Grisham -perfect pool-side read in Italy

“Star Island” by Carl Hiaasen – disappointingly average

“Gentlemen And Players” by Joanne Harris
