Review: Swamplandia!


Swamplandia!
Swamplandia! by Karen Russell

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I think that when a writer delivers you to a place where you at once feel at home and connected to the story, you have the recipe for a great tale. Swamplandia! is this kind of place. The story is fun and zany but Swamplandia! is a place I will miss, maybe even more than the characters.

Review: Ruby Ridge: The Truth and Tragedy of the Randy Weaver Family


Ruby Ridge: The Truth and Tragedy of the Randy Weaver Family
Ruby Ridge: The Truth and Tragedy of the Randy Weaver Family by Jess Walter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Twenty years later and this is the first full length account I have read. It's long but quick without skipping around. It's a good mix of facts and human elements.
