Title: Pretties
Author: Scott Westerfeld
The second book in the Uglies series picks up where the first left off. Tally, now "a pretty" is trying to find
her place there while dealing with memories from the smoke and feelings that something just isn't right. Circumstances reveal the sinister nature of the operation and Tally must look for a way to save herself and those around her. Very interesting plot but at times hard to read due to the slang the author employs for these teenage voices.
Fiction; rated 3 out of 5

The Good House
Title: The Good House
Author: Ann Leary
I liked The Good House written by Ann Leary. It is a story centered around a New England woman living in a small town where everyone knows everyone. The story is about an older successful woman Realtor with a drinking problem that she constantly insists she doesn't have, even as she sneaks her wine, hiding her drinking from her daughters and friends.

Dead Ever After
Title: Dead Ever After
Author: Charlaine Harris
I have read the complete series. Over all I was satisfied with the book, but I felt there was needless page filler chatter to get to the end.

Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Title: Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Author: Stieg Larsson
I ended up enjoying this book more than I thought I would. I can see why it has become an international best seller. I thought the sexual portions could have been less explicit but the mystery was excellent and kept me guessing 'til pretty close to the end. The author has an amazing mind and I am now planning on reading the sequels.
