Review: Be Good Dakota Madison

Be Good by Dakota Madison
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Were you able to connect with the main character and why? I easily connected with Anna. She grew up with parents who did not want her. She probably was a surprise and knew she did not fit the image they wanted and rebelled against them trying to mode her into what they wanted.

Which did you find more appealing, the introduction or the conclusion? Okay I admit, I am a sucker for happy endings. The bad girl turned good and got her prince charming in the end.

Why would you recommend or not recommend this book? I only recommend this book for adults who do not have a problem with sexual content or language.

Review: Gabriela and The Widow by Jack Remick

Gabriela and The Widow by Jack Remick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

If you could only save one character from the book, which one would it be and why? Gabby, she deserves a lifetime of true happiness. The reader starts the story by examining her life at different stages, and she grows, the reader grows and learns with her.

Have you ever experienced anything similar to the action of this novel? Nothing similar in terms of La Viuda but the way Gabriela grows, is something any reader will be able to relate to.

What did you think was the most interesting part of the book? When La Viuda tells Gabriela all the stories of her life, it's like a grandmother passing on a little history to her grandchild. Very touching and a bit sad sometimes.

Sex and Death in the American Novel by Sarah Martinez
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


What are the most important relationships in the book? Acceptance for who we are. Even acceptance from our parents on what we choose for our lives.

What is stronger in the book: plot or character development? Character development – do not think this would be such a wonderful read if the plot was stronger than characters. No, the plot was not weak, but this could not be a plot driven story.

Have you ever experienced anything similar to the action of this novel? Only thing I have experienced similar is the depression Tristian suffered. Lost a great friend to this misunderstood disease.
