#3 Sarah's Key

I finished this one awhile ago, sorry it took so long to post. I didn't like this book so much. mostly because I don't speak french, and already have a favorite holocaust book. However, it was well written, just really really sad, and I think I need a happy book. I have my sights set on Water for Elephants, and we'll see how that goes. Anyways- if you are into period dramas, French, France, The Holocaust or a good read, you should pick this book up. But it's really quite sad and I didn't like the abruptness of the ending.

#2: American Wife.

I don't usually read books like this. I like books that have wizards and time travel and magical elements, but I'm trying to expand my interests. I heard really good things about American Wife.
This book is distantly distantly based off of Laura Bush's life, and the only thing the book really made me want is to learn more about Laura Bush's actual life. Alice and Charlie Walker are the main characters, and just a forewarning, there's more sex than I was expecting. the book is set into 4 adressess/times in Alice's life, and it's a unique back and forth in time. anyways, if you are into political dramas, think about picking this up.

#1: The Help.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett was really incredible. I think I really enjoyed it because I spent all semester immersed in African American fiction writers. The author is white, but she writes in 3 perspectives, 2 black maids, and a young white woman. The book is written during the era of segregation in the South. The story is really good. It had me on edge at times, but it was one of those books I just didn't want to put down. You should read it. I guess I'm not very good at book reviews yet, but you really should read it.
