*** 3 stars
A perfect read for a rainy day in which I could devote the whole day to reading! That almost never happens, even when I'm on vacation. The story was intriguing and kept me interested. I'm not sure it entirely held up, once all was revealed and you can tell this is an early book for the author. But it was an entertaining and non-taxing read.

The Room by Jonas Karlsson
**** 4 stars
This was a weird little book; took me a bit to get into it but then I read it straight through. Very odd, very thought-provoking and very sly. I thought it was clever and insightful and I'm glad I read it!

I was also excited to get this new book which is getting good reviews. I loved the premise and was really intrigued. Sadly, I found the book to be really dull and the language stilted and annoyingly obscure. Moving on....

The Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro
**** 4 stars
An excellent choice for book club! I really enjoyed this thought-provoking book. It generated a lot of interesting discussion. I learned a lot about how artists really work and create art, especially painting. The book really made me think about the nature of creating and beauty and value. Highly recommended!
