read: Rogue Wave (4 stars)

Rogue Wave by Boyd Morrison
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A gripping, enjoyable, disaster-movie read. The author does an admirable job of creating tension and excitement from the very beginning, while holding back enough mystery without making it feel like a cheat. Yes, there are way too many coincidences that keep the main characters in the center of all of the action. But that's what readers want and it all feels plausible. Recommended. But not just before you plan a trip to Hawaii.

read: The Catcher in the Rye (3 stars)

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Just some run-on ramblings about some teenager wandering around Manhattan after he gets booted out of a crumby prep school for about the third time. I never read the thing in high school and all. And it's supposed to be some kind of classic. I guess to a jaded adult it just seems kinda outdated and phony. But I wouldn't argue with you if you wanted to say you loved it. I really wouldn't. Ugh.
