Review: The Tsar of Love and Techno

The Tsar of Love and Techno by Anthony Marra
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I devoured this book. A series of short stories tied together by a 19th century Russian painting that alternates between tragedy and comedy. Highly recommend if you enjoy something a bit deeper than typical fiction. Read more in this NPR books review: http://www.npr.org/2015/10/06/4450349...

Review: Sugar

Sugar by Deirdre Riordan Hall
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book is a "young adult" novel however I did enjoy it...but not so much at first. The story is about addiction - in this particular case to sugar. The 17-year old girl nicknamed "Sugar", tells the story of one year in her life with her obese mother and brothers (Skunk & Fat Henry) in an awful environment. Nothing fun at the beginning; but then someone enters her life which caused me to keep moving on to the next chapters. At first I thought about giving it 2 stars; but now that I've finished I'm very comfortable with a 4 star rating. There are a few twists and turns I didn't see coming which I do enjoy. If you enjoy reading a book that will stick with you, I do recommend this book.
