A Million Little Pieces

This book is by James Frey. I started it last night, and am slightly intimidated at how long it will take me considering it is about four times as long as the two previous books I have read. It is from Oprah's book club, but I heard that it was found out that parts of it were made up, and she wasn't too thrilled. It'll probably be a good read at any rate, though I like the true stuff better. The reason I chose this book to read, is that late last night when I needed something new, it was the only book in the house I hadn't read. It is actually the book my husband is reading, but forgot to take with him when he left to go work for a while.

Okay, I finished this book monday night, June 26. It basically took me a month to read, which I pretty much figured it would. I thought it was a great book, and concerning the authors 'falicies,' I read a statement by him, and it made sense to me.

Night

This book is by Elie Wiesel. It is about a young Jewish boy and his father and their time in a concentration camp. There is no happy ending. I finished reading it late last night after too much coffee. I'm not sure how I feel about it because who would like to read aboutthe suffering of others? Though it was well written. It is so hard to read books about concentration camps, though I think it is interesting to find out what was really happening in them. It is so inhumane and unjust that I get mad and sick while reading. I have all these questions - mostly, why? It was such a tragedy that the whole thing ever happened. How could human beings be so decieved? Truely and act of satan is all I can figure.

The Family Nobody Wanted

I finished this book a week or so ago. It is by Helen Doss, and tells the story of her husband Carl and her adopting twelve children. Ten of the twelve children are racially mixed and considered 'unadoptable.' Most of the book takes place right in this area of the country. I really loved it, especially because one of the boys is alot like my son Jed.
