How To Use This Book List

Many of the books here are written for young adults. However, some are definitely adult books. I don't always specify in my comments; however if you are interested in a book, find it at the library. If it's in Juvenile Fiction or Young Adult Fiction, it's usually safe for kids 12-15 (be sure to preview just in case). If the book is found elsewhere, you can always ask a librarian for their input.
Personally, a few swear words don't do much for me, so I don't usually remember they are in there. Other types of content, however, are usually commented on.
Enjoy!!

p.s. Please leave a "care-to-share" (aka, comment) anytime you like.

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.

p.s. 3 or 4 F-words in case that sways you one way or the other.

  1. I've never even heard of this one. It's hard when you feel torn- didn't hate it but don't love it either.
