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.

Ape House

by Sara Gruen

After enjoying Water for Elephants so much, I thought I'd give Ms. Gruen another try.  She did not disappoint. She managed to make primates interesting enough that I'm ready to google them.  There is love, tension, passion, disappointment, sorrow, fear, and more.  Gruen made animal research something I could relate to and the stories that coincided with the apes were intriguing.  Definitely a great book!  (a few F-words, definitely an adult theme as the primates features are known for their casual and spontaneous sexual acts).
