the curious incident of the dog in the night-time by Mark Haddon

A very good book. It really opened my eyes to the struggles and frustrations of Autistic children and their parents but it also made me laugh. A very funny, touching book that opens your eye to the world that surrounds those with Autisum.

The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell

This book looked intriguing but I was very disappointed. The author had a great story line but failed to follow through. I did not enjoy the unfinished sentences or hanging story lines. I felt the book was incomplete.

Life of PI by Yann Martel

I really enjoyed this book. One of the reading group questions is, is Life of Pi a tragedy, a romance or a comedy and even though I have finished the book I am not sure. It made me laugh but I also found my mouth hanging open in surprise and I fell in love with the characters. I only had one problem with Life of Pi there were a few scence that were to graphic and I had a hard time reading them. A very interesting and entertaining read although I have to say a little odd but in a good way.
