The Good Daughters by Joyce Maynard
More than a few twists that I didn’t expect—definitely a good read. Fun fact: author is Wilson Bethel‘s mom.
-
All My Friends Are Superheroes by Andrew Kaufman
A humourous Rolodex of everyday super heroes and a wonderful tale of what we do to find and keep the ones we love. Recommended.
-
Lord of the Flies by Sir William Golding
Hated it in high school. Loved it in university. Movie was decent. Simpson’s adaptation was awesome.
-
The Scent of Rain and Lightning by Nancy Pickard
Unbalanced. The entire novel was spent leading up to an ending that was wrapped up far too quickly and neatly.
-
Miss Wyoming by Douglas Coupland
Not my favourite, but still quite good. Like Girlfriend in a Coma, it’s an odd love story.
-
The Virgin Cure by Ami McKay
Brilliant. Disgusting and astonishing that it’s based on historical facts.
-
Still Life with Woodpecker by Tom Robbins
Too many tangents, but the relevant story line is actually quite good.
-
Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
Book: Very charming. A fabulous tale of love, distrust, enchantment and a whiskey loving circus elephant. Beautifully written. Movie: Meh
