Looking for Alaska was one of my favorites when I first read it back in high school. Now a college graduate, and I wanted to see how it would hold up. There were still many things to love about this story. It's easy to read, has likeable characters, and is a fairly straight forward plot that does try to tackle some of life's deeper questions. From a slightly more mature perspective, I question these characters and their actions a little bit more than I did several years ago, but I still think it's worth a read, especially if you have never read any other John Green books before.

Graphic Novels are not my usual preferred genre but I gave this title a try and am happy that I did. This book about a seventh grader changing schools and his experiences in this more exclusive, less diverse school gives a great POV.

A story was easy to read and very interesting. Olaf was reading books in the library for other kids and the library was full of people.

Great read, had everything. Fast paced, Texas ranger, shootouts, romance, drug runners and best of all, an ending I never saw coming.

Christian Fiction Biography Well written insight into the adult life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and his Christian writings. The author wrote about Bonhoeffer and the turmoil in Germany during Hitler's reign.

Although touted as Rice's first "Young Adult" novel on the book jacket, this book is in our Adult Fiction section and I think it is just as appropriate for adult readers. The content regarding texting while driving is relevant to any person behind the wheel and the theme of the bond between sisters resonates for any age. Rice's usual insights into families, love and the ups and downs that all entail are once again prevalent in this book. A quick read, I would recommend it as a great addition to any beach or pool bag!

First graphic novel. Was my favorite book growing up

It is always an experience when we get the experience of living on the other side of the tracks. The author did an excellent job of expressing what her experience was like when she wore the robe of a patient instead of that of a doctor. The had the experience of lying in a hospital bed and watching and hearing the treatments that patients get from their medical team. She was able to experience the coldness, insensitivity, the mistakes, the delays, whatever attitude and the attitude of being treated as a subject, as a bed #. She saw and heard, ego, self-satisfaction, nonchalant attitude from the medical team caring for her. This was an eye opener for her and made her determine in her heart that she would not display these attitudes in her practice.

Psychological thriller. A husband & his wives living a polygamist life or is something else going on? Keeps you guessing about whats real throughout the entire book.
