Book Reviews

Gaines has a copy of a wonderful book called One Hundred Years of Solitude written by Gabriel García Márquez. This book tells the story of the rise and fall of a fictional village called Mocondo. It is a story filled with mythical characters and events. It has unforgettable characters, and is very well written. It is also a Nobel Prize winner. This book has been in CETP circulation for a while and all who have read it that I have talked to have recommended it. If you would like to read this let Gaines know.


Mariah has loaned me a copy of The Drowning Tree written by Carol Goodman. It is a book about a women trying to solve the murder of her best friend as well as uncover some secrets about the founders of their prestigious college. She feels that it may be connected with the mental institute where her husband ended up only two years after their wedding. I have not finished the book yet but at this point it proves to be a good story.

Laura has some copies of some classics such as Ivenhoe, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Davis Copperfield, and The Brothers Karamozov (these two are Harpswell's copies but I am sure she would not mind someone else reading them).

Please Email me some other good books or not, anything in English is good. I will include them on the next posting. Also email anything you would like included on the blog.
