I might even try to find Moloka'i to read over spring break.

The majority of the girls loved this book but I just really didn't! I'm an avid reader as well. I just recommended "Moloka'i" to your mom. Historical fiction and a sweeping, well written (in my opinion! I'm not a real book reviewer!) story about a leper colony in turn of the century Hawaii. The story spans 50 years and is one of those that you hate to see end!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002988437743916262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1095961351839182752.post-61946674787197314412011-03-09T08:19:19.816-06:002011-03-09T08:19:19.816-06:00This summer you must read, A Prayer for Owen Meany...This summer you must read, A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving.<br />I don't think I've gotten you to read this yet have I.<br />I figured something out this morning when I was thinking about this topic.<br />A great book must be great at the end.<br /><br />I have read many books lately that fall apart by the end.<br />The author cant seem to sustain the quality throughout.<br /><br />I've never read it anywhere, but there is my wisdom from many years of reading and loving to read.<br /><br />Must have "fireworks" at the end of the book.<br /><br />You also need to read MFS's blog. She is the best writer I know. Interesting and thoughtful thinker too.<br /><br />Sometimes her sentences don't make sense to me.<br />I think you could relate to the way she thinks and writes.<br /><br />Fantastic.Donna Boucherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699431983937413613noreply@blogger.com
