Vacation Reading

I have been away on vacation for the past two weeks and had some time to read. Some of the books I read are listed below. As I catch up here at work I will tell you more about them.


Title: Small Island
Author: Andrea Levy

excellent

If you want to know what it feels like to be in someone else's skin. Read this book. Andrea Levy does a wonderful job of telling the story of Jamaican immigrants to England just after WWII.

School Library Journal's review

Black Issues Book Review has a long informative article about the book and the author, Andrea Levy.



Title: Mission Song
Author: John Le Carre

good
Suspenseful, timely and well written as ever with John Le Carre.

New York Times Book Review






Title: Never End
Author: Ake Edwardson

very good


Title: Garden of Eden and other Criminal Delights
Author: Faye Kellerman

bad. Her recent books are no where near as interesting and her first three or four. Very trite and filled with cliches. I miss the early emphasis on her jewish heritage.
