"When Amy, Nick's wife of five years, disappears on the morning of their fifth wedding anniversary, Nick is horrified, shocked, confused and worst of all, the prime suspect. Flynn does an incredible job of piecing the bits of the story together, just enough and at a good enough pace that you keep reading and the characters, Amy especially are truly unforgettable." 5 Stars.  Spoiler Alert.  Pros:  Amy is a truly sociopathic, megalomaniacal, narcissitic b**itch and though I loathed her, I was mesmerized by the sheer depths she would sink to.  Cons:  At the last part of the book, when Amy is explaining how she "escaped", the abuse she put her body through would have been obvious to her captor, but apparently not.  Full Review:   Nick knows that he hasn't been the best husband, he's known that for awhile now. But he knows that the fault isn't entirely his own. His wife Amy is now saint. So on the morning of their fifth year anniversary, Nick decides it&#

" The quintessential Christmas Classic that tries to hit home the idea of remembering your past, learning from it, living in the present and keeping the joy of Christmas alive and well through all the days of the year."  4 Stars.  Pros:  Dickens' message is clear, remember your past, learn from it, live in the future as best you can and try to keep the spirit of Christmas, of joy and love, with you each and every day.  Cons:  If you're not used to reading Dickens, it can be dry at first but once you get into the flow of it, it's a quick and entertaining read.  Full Review:  Ebenezer Scrooge, a miserly, miserable, crotchety old man who wants nothing more than to do his work and be left alone can't stand the season of Christmas. He is forever annoyed at all the fools wishing him a Merry Christmas and he makes it painfully clear that he wants nothing to do with the festive season. He is content to do his work, go home, rest and continue the process day after day.

"A blithe and scathing commentary on equality, power, corruption and how everyone is created equal, but...some are more equal than others. Orwell hit the nail right on the head with this novel and it's no wonder it's a staple for most high school curriculums. " 3 Stars.  Pros:  Benjamin the Donkey is the smartest animal on the farm and it would have done all the others a world of good if they had listened to him in the first place.  Cons:  The fact that societies like this actually do exist is nauseating and terrible. It's not a con, per se, it's just a gut wrenching fact.  Full Review:  When the overworked and mistreated Animals on Manor Farm decide to rise up and overthrow their cruel master, they're successful. They rebel and now find themselves with an entire Farm to run. They rename it Animal Farm and are intent on creating a paradise, where work and play are equal, where productivity is key but relaxation is a must and all the lives of all the animal
