The Cuban Affair
by Nelson DeMille
View in Library Catalog
book cover


1.5 star rating Honestly I was hoping I would’ve liked this book but it got too repetitive and dragged on for too long. I stopped at chapter 48. The characters were good and the humor was also good, but the story felt all over the place and felt like it strayed away from the plot. Sometimes it felt like there wasn’t a plot at all. Not really the best first book I’ve read by this author, but I’m willing to give another book a go.

Fabulous book read. Read in one day and couldn’t wait for next page to read. It’s about a student and his college english professsor and how they became friends after college. It’s about life and death. Beautifully written story.

As a longtime fan of Shakespeare, the plot of this book really excited me. There was a fair mix of traditional Shakespearean quips along with modern humor. fun story filled with lots of mystery and a couple of good twists. The ending left a little to be desired, personally but overall this was an enjoyable book.

Your diet and health are your bank account & money. Good food choices are a good investment. Health is a primary need in our lives. This book coaches you on what you want to choose and what you want to eat. It also explains how to make healthy and delicious food from across the different regions of the world. Many recipes that are healthy and tasty. I love this author and how she explains about ingredients and recipes in simple terms.

This was my first Monaghan book. I really enjoyed her writing style. I felt that the then and now aspects of the book complemented each other seamlessly. I do wish there was a "future" or little epilogue that gave readers a glimpse into what could have happened.

1984

book cover


This book was enjoyable to read. There was a lot of symbolism in the book, like the chocolate rations and 2+2=5, and it was fun noticing the references to things earlier said. It broke down how government authority (big brother) has the potential of manipulation by taking it to the absolute extreme. This got it's point across, but it also made some parts of the book (like newspeak and the 2 minutes hate) seem out of place and unrealistic to what an actual oligarch would look like.

The House Of My Mother

No rating out of respect for the author and her siblings. It took the author a lot of courage to write about her experiences and going public on her terms rather than someone else’s. I hope she finds healing. All family vlog channels should be abolished.

Twenty-four Seconds From Now . . .

This book was refreshing to read and explored the taboo subject of intimacy among teenagers in a way that was comfortable, relatable, and at the same time fun to read about.
