Title of the book:
Quiet Hero - Secrets From My Father's Past
Author:
Rita Cosby
So what do you think about this book?
This was an interesting book, giving a first hand look into the life of a resistance fighter in World War II Warsaw, including during the Warsaw Uprising and during his time in a German POW camp. Sometimes the resistance fighter's daughter, the author, gets a little in the way of his narrative, but in the end you get a small insight into the aweful lives people lived under Nazi rule, and how different people dealt with the horrow. Not a great book, but interesting and worth while reading none-the-less.

Shall we tell the president?
Author:
Jeffrey Archer
So what do you think about this book?
This book is a thriller. It is about a woman president and how she is saved from an assasination attempt,about which she is totally unaware of. I liked the FBI agent, Mark who was the main agent solving this plot.

Title of the book:
The Forest Lover
Author:
Susan Vreeland
So what do you think about this book?
Vreeland is again an author who captivates you with her characters and sense of art and historical perspective. This was a beautiful book about Emily Carr, the painter, and the indigenous people in British Columbia. It gives a depth of the life of an artist and her insights on life.

Title of the book:
Eight
Author:
Katherine Neville
So what do you think about this book?
This was a complicated book but good for the brain in trying to follow the switches from two histrical periods. The history was educational, some characters were mysterious. It was a fun book - like following a puzzle. There are many discrepancies in facts and follow through, though.
