so-soThis book interweaves the stories of a school‘s assistant principal, principal, secretary, alumni, board, and students as the school votes on a new Hall of Fame. The story was interesting and woven together nicely, but overall it felt a bit depressing and just “adults behaving badly” but not in a good or fun way. So so for me!

I did it! I managed to use all owned tbr books for this months photo challenge. I had to dip into my nook for one but otherwise all others are on my physical pile and the tagged book is one of the newest books I‘ve recently purchased. Thanks for hosting @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
A lovely beach weekend of pups, books and gelato.
pickWhat a read to start the year with. Brilliant writing as always with Boyne; quite a dark novel but I loved the humour within it, the way each section focused on a different character viewpoint all in relation to Maurice, the ending…there wasn‘t much about it I didn‘t like. A rollercoaster read of a book with a despicable main character. Couldn‘t put it down.
Hunkering down with this one while the winter storm is raging outside.
pickThanks to my library for suggesting this as a skip the line copy! I did enjoy listening to it, but I didn‘t realize it was somewhat of a sequel! I never read Tom Perrotta but I‘ll prob be looking for other works by him, eventually.
so-soQuick read, with a slew of distinct characters who tell this story. I finished it quickly and it is entertaining, but some characters that were included provided distraction from the others that had depth and could have been really interestingly developed. The ending was forced and unnecessary. Ok, entertaining read.
“I want to be a success…It‘s all that matters to me. I‘ll do whatever it takes to succeed”.
Oh Maurice! What an unforgettable protagonist Boyne has created. I loved this book.
