The Book Thief

by Markus Zusak

I actually have decided that, generally, I'm not interested in or cut out for adult reading. I have been trying for about 50 pages to get into this book...not happening. So, I guess I'm going back to fewer words and more shallow thoughts. I'm okay with that.

The Outlander

by Gil Adamson

I had a hard time trying to figure out where this story was going. Once I got about 3/4 of the way through I could start to see a little light at the end of the tunnel. It was a little intense at times, but seemed to be so detailed in others that I was a little bored. This is an Adult book - language and explicit details (few of either, but there, nonetheless). I finished this book about 4 days ago and still haven't decided how I feel about it. I really liked the historical aspect of the story, but I can't say I...I don't know. I like to read to be entertained; this is not what I consider an entertaining book. But I didn't dislike it either. I'm just torn. It was well-written; it had a great plot and twists; it flowed well. Hmmm...you'll have to read it yourself to decide.
