This was a great story, a quick read, and worth sharing. I considered naming this book to a middle school reading list with the exception of one scene (the narrator witnesses her parents having sex while hiding from them under their bed). What I especially liked about this story was its snapshot of a child's perception of her parents' flawed marriage -- a story line many can relate to.

Impossible to put down! My only problem with this book was I didn't have the third book when I finished this one. If you loved The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, you'll love Lisbeth Salander's story.

This book is an interesting look at the "offbeat" history of marijuana and the place it holds in American history and lore.

In my opinion this is the best vocabulary series for genuine understanding of how words work in context.

This book interestingly showed how women were, in essence, viewed as property by the men in their society. They were not seen as capable of making decisions about their own future. So, when Lyddie takes it upon herself, after the seed was planted by her husband's attorney, to fight for what is rightfully hers, she is viewed with suspicion in her community. I enjoyed reading about the work that needed doing to run a household, and I enjoyed seeing how each character -- men and women -- reacted to Lyddie's choices. It is certainly eye-opening to read about a feminist in very early times.
I recommend this book to anyone with an interest in history. I further recommend it to anyone looking for a good book to discuss in a book group setting.
