Reviews from BT

Now it's time to hear from BT and see what she's been reading and what she's thinking.....

She just finished The Idiot by by Elif Batuman. It was a Pulitzer finalist, but she felt disoriented half the time. She doesn't recommend it although it gets decent reviews. (Maybe not everyone loves it since it's available now for $1.99 on Kindle.)

BT thinks Winter Soldier by Daniel Mason is an excellent read. A WWI med student serves as field doctor. I'm adding it to my wish list now.

And she also read In the Unlikely Event by Judy Blume. Her thoughts on this one were that it was kinda jumbled like she asked different authors to take and develop a character and then attached them together in a novel. Doesn't sound so great, huh?

Finally, she doesn't feel that Ken Follet's book, The Third Twin, was up to standards. Did he really write this one?

Thanks, BT!
