Southern Cross the Dog
by Bill Cheng

It took three tries before I finally committed to reading Southern Cross the Dog. I debated DNFing multiple times, finally deciding against it because 1) I chose it for a reading challenge, and 2) I wanted to push outside of my comfort zone. I should have gone with my gut; I really disliked the book, all the way through. There was no sense of plot, I didn't connect with the characters, and the absolute abstinence from quotation marks was confusing, rather than artistic, as I assume was the intention. Lastly, I want to mention that this majorly Black cast does not reflect the soulful, mournful, yet proud ambiance that I sense the author was trying to produce. The atmosphere fell flat--it just wasn't there. I'm going to forget I ever wasted time on this book now okay thanks bye

Nice bedtime read.
 
 

Earthlings

Fantastically weird!
 
 

Banned Book Club
by Kim Hyun Sook

2.5 stars I didn't like the art style (just personal preference, really), and I also felt that there was too much of a happy ending. "Life sucked but all of the main characters survived the communist regime and lived happily ever after the end."

We Were Liars
by E. Lockhart

It had a great plot twist, but the style of writing was hard to follow, and not many of the characters were that likable in my opinion.
