WooReads Adult Challenge: Turn A New Page

 


Enjoy this week's adult patron book reviews submitted through WooReads Adult Challenge: Turn a New Page. Some books offered just the right amount of twists and turns, while some had one too many. You're not going to love every book you read, so we're here to help you find your next great one! Join librarians Devon and Joy every first and third Saturday of the month on Facebook for fiction and non fiction book reviews. If you like any of the books they review, visit our catalog to place a hold. You can also try our Book Bundle service, Grab and Go books, or visit our Staff Picks page. So many options, so many books!



Gone for Good by Harlan Coben 

Love his books. I think this is a favorite. As a young boy Will looked up to his brother. All is great until a neighbor girl is murdered. His brother is suspected but then disappears. Will believes he is OK and just in hiding. Gets tense and leads us to a surprising ending. ~ Karen S.



Look for Me by Lisa Gardner

My initial thoughts: "wow, I'm liking this. Liking it for its lyrical prose, storytelling, writing style, etc." But at some point I wasn't as hooked. I felt that some sections were very repetitive (i.e. one character would say/realize facets of the investigation and then in its totality repeat it to another character), there were too many twists, and its ending is neatly packaged. ~ Mary T.



A fast paced, very entertaining read and optimistic look into the oval office! ~ Eun Sol L.







I'm amazed that the plot twist didn't reveal itself until so late in the book! I was all over the place trying to figure it out. Definitely an intriguing read! ~ Jessica M.
