Message in a Bottle
Title: Message in a Bottle
Author: Nicholas Sparks
I liked the love story, and the way the history of the characters was developed. Kept me interested. However, I like a predictable "happy ending" to a story. This "twist" ending was surprising, but not what I would have liked to see happen. I have heard this is common with Nicholas Sparks' books, and I don't know if I will read any more of his work.

Dead Ever After: a Sookie Stackhouse Novel
Title: Dead Ever After: a Sookie Stackhouse Novel
Author: Charlaine Harris
Dead Ever After is the last book of the Sookie Stackhouse series. In the beginning of the series it was great, new and inventive. Later on, after the sixth or so book, Ms. Harris seemed to have run out of innovative ideas. Nonetheless, I and readers alike kept on reading to find out what happens with Sookie and which paranormal hunk she ends up with. We eventually find out her fate, but with little action or suspense. Most of the other characters fade into oblivion, or have completely changed their behavior. Why spend years building up a relationship only to destroy it? Overall, Ms. Harris is the creator of this vampire world and she can do anything she wants, and her fans will suffer.

America 1933: the Great Depression, Lorena Hickok, Eleanor Roosevelt, and the Shaping of the New Deal
Title: America 1933: the Great Depression, Lorena Hickok, Eleanor Roosevelt, and the Shaping of the New Deal
Author: Michael Golay
Lorena Hickok, a top woman news reporter and dear friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, was hired by FDR right-hand man Harry Hopkins to embark on a grueling journey to the hardest hit areas of the country to report back on degree of devastation. What I liked was the sobering truth reporting. I was thinking of my parents who lived through it and got married in it the year 1937! My mom was 17, my father was 24. Sadly they had little or no education or godly wisdom to sustain the marriage. They were divorced in 1952!
