Book Review: The Alchemist

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is one of the best books I have ever read. The storyline is engaging and interesting, and it is just a fabulous read. I like to learn things by subtle coercion, rather than than have it stuffed down my throat. This book is much like a parable, it teaches through the power of story, and what is learned, is simply fantastic!

Book Review: Digging to America

Digging To America by Anne Tyler


My rating: 2 of 5 stars
I had to force myself to finish this book. TO be honest, I'm not sure why I kept reading. I was about 75 pages in, and was thinking to myself, There has to be "something" good in here. I know this sounds like a harsh review, but I just didn't enjoy it. I guess there wasn't enough action/adventure, or good history to keep me entertained. I really don't recommend reading it. There were PARTS that were enjoyable, but the plot never developed enough or quickly enough for me to really even recognize it.
