The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

by Sherman Alexie

The absolutely not so true story about the true story of the authors’ full time life – as a kid, that is. Wow now that was a mouth full not unlike some of the words that our main character, Jr. comes up with. Jr.'s life is not the picturesque one that most would associate with life on a reservation. Jr. was born with a some physical deformations and a disease that put water in his brain. Hence he was the laughing stalk of the reservation. But this year is gona take Jr. on many new adventures packed with sports, first loves, comic drawing, outrages friends, and laugh out loud funniness.

This is a top notch book for anyone looking for a good read and funny laughs. If you’ve ever read any of Sherman Alexie’s other writings then you won’t be disappointed with this story what so ever. I give the book a positive A and rate it for any one with the warning of mild langue and one sexual suggestion.

My Unfair Lady

My Unfair Lady

by Kathryne Kennedy

Coming to London has been a big change for Summer Wine Lee. But coming to London to be made into a perfect woman is an even bigger challenge. The thought of going back home to America and not being made into a proper Lady would be to much of her pride and heart to handle, for in order for her to marry an upper class New York man, she must be made into the proper Lady that any man would want as a wife.

But that’s easier said than done. Being from the Wild West and acting like a true wild woman is not helping her in the eyes of her trainer, the Duke of Monchester. The way she acts though, he believes there is no way possible that she could ever become a Lady. Once the Duke, Bryon, starts to spend more time with her his good opinion of her begins to change, but for the better or for the worse? And will Summer accept the new connection between the two of them.

My View

I must say, I really did enjoy this book. Miss Summer, our main character, has a mind of her own. She loves the great outdoors, hunting, and taking in all sorts of stray animals. The animals by the way mount up to be around fiver or so in the short time that she’s in London. The types of animals range from dogs, monkeys, foxes, and other animals. But besides the animals the love story put inside all of the mystery and adventure that packed throughout this book is one to pull and tug on your heart strings. I give this book an awesome A, and rate this book mature for 18 and up. The few sex sense in this book are quite descriptive. But enough about way I think go read the book and see for yourself just how good the book is. Happy reading!

The Plight of the Darcy Brothers

The Plight of the Darcy Brothers

by Marsha Altman

Brother… a foreign word for Darcy when he thinks of it. He had only one sister. And his mother did when his sister was born. So any notion of more siblings was just ludicrous, for his father surely was always a faithful husband to Darcy’s mother. But all facts seam to lead in the other direction, when Mr. Darcy indeed discovers a brother in the demolished land of France. But before finding his brother Mr. and Mrs. Darcy where traveling abroad for a reason. So what truly did bring them to France? And what does Elizabeth’s younger sister, Mary, have to do with there travels? Throw in Mr. Wickham’s wana-be-comeback, and you’re going to get one exciting new adventure, taking you to foreign places with the Binglesy’s and the Darcy’s. Lizzy thought has news that will change every ones life for run, especially Darcy’s.

My View

Wow. When I first read this book I will admit that I did lack around and took no interest, but I kept on reading. When I was finished with the book I couldn’t believe that I wasn’t in love with the book when I first started reading. We get to see a deeper and very different side of all of our beloved characters from Pride and Prejudice, as well as a new character. Mr. Darcy’s ‘new’ brother is a very interesting character at that. A monk from post war France is a much different type of breed than what Darcy and Lizzy are used to, the main one being that he is a very zealot religious monk, whom will heed nothing Darcy says. But I’m many ways they are a like… I give this book a high B++ and rate it for all age, though sex is mentioned very briefly. I recommend this book to any one who has read pride and prejudice and loved. As we all have!

My View of the Book

When I read this book I was hooked pretty darn fast. A grieving studly man, Luke, and a grieving occupational therapist to help him work out all of the kinks. But Abby herself has some male trust issues, as of late and Luke seems to be the only one able to work through it. So now you can see why I just read the book threw. One day that’s all it took, I got so hooked. It’s got a good plot and intrigues the mind. I give this book a high B+ and rate it for a more mature reading audience. So kick back and free up your afternoon and get ready to heal Luke.
