Books

I have not done a good job of updating this blog recently:-( So, lets recap the last THREE books! Forgive me if these are brief...my memory isn't what it used to be:-)

Hunger Games - well, I think all who read it enjoyed the story even though it was a disturbing plot.  We rated this book an 8.  All the violence aside, the book was well written and kept the readers interest from beginning to end.  Many of us had started and/or finished the entire trilogy.  I have since read all three books and seen the movie.  I did not enjoy the movie at all - it really didn't capture the emotion of the book and so much was either left out or changed.  Thanks to Vonda for hosting - great food and wine as always:-)
The Confession - Thanks to Kelly for choosing this John Grisham novel!  This was my very first Grisham! There was much discussion of race discrimination and how society has changed, and yet has not changed in this regard.  The story kept the reader interested throughout and I will definitely be reading more Grisham.  This book received a rating of 8 from our group.
Battle Hymn of Tiger Mother - This was Mary's first time hosting book club(and last because she is moving next month).  We rated this book 7.5.  There was much discussion regarding parenting, chidrens self-esteem, and cultural differences.  Thank you Mary for choosing such a thought provoking book.  We will miss your insight, wit and wisdom at our meetings...we wish you all the best in your new journey!  Please keep in touch and don't be surprised if a group of giggling women show up in the church one day:-)
