Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil

Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil by John Berendt
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I am a quick reader and it took me a while to finish this book because I just couldn't get into it. I love Savannah, and I could imagine the squares and cemeteries as described in the book, and I really, really wanted to love this story. There were definitely a list of entertaining characters throughout, but I would sometimes forget who they were and how they fit into the story. I know this book was very popular in the mid-late '90s, but for me it was just okay. P.S. I never saw the movie.

The Middle Place by Kelly Corrigan

This is my Vines and Spines May book. It's a true story about a woman who is diagnosed with breast cancer in her 30s with a husband and two young children at home. Her dad is also diagnosed with cancer, for the third time, during her treatment. I really like her writing style. It was a quick, easy read and I even went to her website to see if Greenie is still alive (he is!). Many people are affected by cancer during the course of their lives, so I found myself thinking about the people in my family who have dealt with the disease and came back to the book wanting more, along with a happy ending. Kelly is a strong woman, and talented writer.

The Murderer's Daughters

The Murderer's Daughters by Randy Susan Meyers
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This was a quick, easy read. It did get a little boring toward the middle because it's the same thing over and over as the sisters age...one loves their dad, the other acts like he doesn't exist. I read it over the weekend and enjoyed it enough to keep reading while Monsters, Inc., Lady and the Tramp, or any other Disney/Pixar movie was playing in the background
