45 - The Pilot's Wife, by Anita Shreve, 293 pages, Little, Brown, and Company, 1998
WHY I PICKED IT: Borrowed from my friend Katrin
ELAPSED TIME: 2 days
RATING: Very Good
I've been in a reading funk the past month an a half... and this book sucked me right in. I went through the emotional arc with Kathryn Lyons - Losing the pilot husband, realizing that she doesn't know him, and dealing with that... I went through the emotions when everything in my head made me want to flip to the end to see how it turns out.
As it turns out, I'm glad I didn't... this book is a well told story, and the last chapter would simply have confused me had I not read it through in order.
I would recommend this book to voracious readers... but there are many better books out there too.
This blog is a simple review of every book that I read... For all books I’ll tell you why I picked it, how long it took me to read it, and give it a rating (burn it, not good, meh, good, very good, and required reading). I ask (encourage?) all readers of my blog to post their thoughts of any of the books in my comments :). Thanks!
