Book Review: The Bonesetter's Daughter

The Bonesetter's Daughter The Bonesetter's Daughter by Amy Tan


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Very touching story. It's been a long time since I've read anything by Amy Tan and I feel like re-reading some of her books now. With all that I've learned in college and my continuing self-education about China, I feel like I have a deeper understand these stories. Still, even with a background in Chinese culture, I'd recommend this book because its simply a beautiful story of love between mothers and daughters.

Book Review: The Ultimates 2

The Ultimates 2 Vol. 1: Gods and Monsters The Ultimates 2 Vol. 1: Gods and Monsters by Mark Millar


My rating: 2 of 5 stars
Bit disappointed in this issue. I really enjoyed the first two volumes of the Ultimates by Miller... but the direction the storyline is taking with the characters is weak at best.

Book Review: Middlesex

Middlesex Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I simply loved this book. The writing was brilliant & I only hope that some day I can write something half as good.

Needful Things Needful Things by Stephen King


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is third time I've read this book and I still couldn't put it down. Definitely one of my top three King books (other two are It & The Stand: unabridged).
