Review: The Diary of Adam and Eve

The Diary of Adam and Eve by Mark Twain

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



As a feminist, I really shouldn't have enjoyed this short little book at all, I feel like I just re-read the Mars vs. Venus pop-psychology nonesense all over again.

That said, Twain is hilarious. He approached the whole subject with just the right light touch.

Read this. And like it. Just take it with a grain of salt.

Review: The Handbook for Lightning Strike Survivors: A Novel

The Handbook for Lightning Strike Survivors: A Novel by Michele Young-Stone

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This was a perfect read over a stormy, rainy weekend. Although many of the themes are 'darker,' dealing with alcoholism, depression, loneliness, philandering, etc., it was an extremely enjoyable read and not at all difficult to work through. Young-Stone is a fun author, this was a great first novel, and I look forward to further work from her.

I really enjoyed this book and would strongly suggest it as a good vacation or lazy-weekend read. Be aware though, reading The Handbook for Lightening Strike Survivors will make you MUCH more paranoid about being hit by lightening!
