The Secret Life of Bees
Sue Monk Kidd
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2003
Bees AIN'T a Bust!
I surveyed my class and 80% gave it two thumbs up: 5 stars. That's 28 out of 35 students. The rest of the class gave it an OK: 3 or 4 stars. So my giving it 5 stars has been backed by research into the general public's taste. ;=)
Now, I'm not much for spending time ...

In the Woods
Tana French
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2008
Engrossing
If you like your book endings wrapped in neat packages with ribbons, this is not the book for you. This is an engrossing psychological thriller with a twisting and twisted plot. I could barely put the book down and I loved every minute. Great read.

March
Geraldine Brooks
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2006
Adding dimension to a one-dimensional classic...
The "horror", "shock" and "dismay" by reviewers who found March an aborhent departure from the classic that inspired this beautifully conceived novel seems more aptly suited to pre-teens than mature adults. Is it really so amazing that a decent man can be flawed? ...
