Kiss the Girls

Book of Choice

Kiss the Girls

By: James Patterson

Background:

I was searching for a new book to read and a friend at work suggested Kiss the Girls. I have read some James Patterson before and enjoyed it so I thought I'd go for it. I also love me some Morgan Freeman so it worked out.

First Thoughts:

This book tells the story of 2 serial killers who are kidnapping and murdering young women along the east and west coast. Detective Alex Cross (a character in several James Patterson books) joins the search when his niece goes missing. Lots of drama ensues!

Final Thoughts:

Crime thrillers are a favortie genre of mine but no one told me how creepy this book would be! It was not a deal breaker or anything but there were some parts that made me cringe. Great story, but I would never be able to watch this movie. The book is a must!

Little Bee

Side note: since I haven't posted in months (literally), I have a lot of catching up to do! When I think about it, I get overwhelmed so I just quit. Soooo, I am going to start with the easy stuff that does not require my camera (since I left it at a friend's house) and does not require a lot of thought. Here we go!

Book of Choice

Little Bee

By: Chris Cleave

Background:
My friend Elizabeth posted this book on her blog and I was intrigued. When you look it up on Amazon, it says something to the effect of "we do not want to tell you what this book is about because it will give it away." Obviously, that made me want to read it more.
First Thoughts:
Without telling you the BIG part of the book that "gives it all away," I'll describe the book as follows:  The story starts off with a young African girl (Little Bee) immigrating to England to meet back up with a couple she met while they were vacationing in her country. Something happened on their trip that changed all of their lives forever.
Final Thoughts:
I loved this story! I do not want to talk any more about it BUT I will say that the ending leaves you hanging which I was slightly disappointed in. Remember in "The Break Up" when Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn just say Hi and walk away in the end? Not OK. I want to know how everyone ends up! However, I totally recommend this book.
