Yay! It’s Friday! Here are a couple of book reviews…

I often buy books by their cover – they usually have weird and unique plot lines. This book, Thumbsucker by Walter Kirn, was one of those buys and it was a weird read. I honestly can’t decide if I liked or hated it. OK, I didn’t hate it but I guess I wished I had liked it better. It was an easy ready though and maybe I had a lukewarm response because of the character, not the story. An independent movie has been made based on the book and it is in my NetFlix queue. I will be curious to see how they interpreted the story on film.

The second book I recently completed is a must-read for all dog-lovers: Marley & Me by John Grogan. What a loving and warm story. It could be a friggin’ Lifetime movie, it’s so sweet. I was skeptical at first that a whole book could be written about a man and his dog but Grogan’s writing captivated me and I read the book quickly – it was hard to put down. Really, if you own a dog, large or small – go grab a copy to read or borrow mine!
