This book was fascinating to me. It discusses so many impactful topics. It makes you think about life, death, loss and love. Well written book that makes you consider life itself. Loved it.

This book is very relevant to the current racial struggles in America, following a white journalist who lives through the African-American experience in the Jim-Crow South. Written as a series of journal entries, Black Like Me fully illustrates the horrors that black citizens experienced daily in the 1950s and 60s as well as the effects of the journey on the author, both emotionally and professionally. It is a must read for anyone looking to broaden their understanding of the role of race in American society.

Slow to start for me but full of twists and ended great.

While this historical fiction book has a good romance and story, the author seemed to have trouble writing about the characters. Their banter and mannerisms seemed force at times and they all felt a little two dimensional to me. However the historical accuracy that the author put into this book was really great and very interesting to read about. She was really able to show how trapped women were in the 1800's. Plus, the main character's adventure to find the ending of her favorite book was a cute premise and kept me reading to the end.

Great book (part of lots of David books). It allows the reader to talk about different things happening in the story because it has lots of illustrations.

This collection of stories about Trevor Noah's life growing up in a post-apartheid South Africa is filled with his trademark sparkling wit and provides both tear-jerking and truly thought-provoking moments. Some of the stories are not in chronological order which can make them difficult to follow at times, but the book overall is very enjoyable.

Good book

This book is great for anyone who loves historical fiction mixed with adventure and romance. This book is filled with mystery, spy missions, dashing young lords and strong female characters that all girls can relate to. Baldwin knows how to write a compelling story and readers will not be able to put this book down till the story is complete.

This third book in the Heroes of Olympus series is definitely the best one. Mark of Athena masterfully mixes old characters and concepts from the Percy Jackson series with new protagonists and mythology to create an amazing original story. Written from the perspective of four different characters, this story takes readers from San Francisco to Rome and has delightful stops along the way that highlight the history of the regions. While it is a long book (almost 600 pages), it is an exciting page turner that will keep you engaged. (This book is gold for ages 9-13, but it would be a good idea to read the Percy Jackson series first).

I really liked it. It was funny.
