Eat Pray Love

I really, really enjoyed this book. It kept me interested throughout all sections - I really appreciate people's journeys and experiences in life, as well as spiritual perspectives. I liked her writing immensely, and thought she showed great insight. I would recommend it even if you are or are not spiritually minded - you can take things from it on any level. I loved how she emphasizes the importance of being well-rounded as a person...even in your own unique way. Very good.

The Memory Keeper's Daughter

I liked it. It was beautifully, beautifully written (very descriptive), and the story is extremely interesting and thought provoking. It did leave me a little frustrated, because of the situation the characters find themselves in, and because I just wanted the them to talk to each other! It was amazing what one decision can do to an entire set of people - both good and bad. So I recommend it, as it is a very real, touching, but kind of sad story.

Angels & Demons - Special Illustrated Edition

I highly recommend this book. It is entertaining, gripping, and just a great read. I like this book infinitely more than The DaVinci Code (though I really liked that too). This version of the book was particularly cool because it has pictures of every single place he describes - it really makes it come alive. All the sculptures, chapels, even pictures I had never seen of Vatican City. I bought it for my Grandma, and then stole it from her to read! Love it.
