pickWow what a dark read, especially that it's a children's book. The premise is that our main character wants to give a gift for his son at his christening but they are poor. So he is on a mission to find his son a godfather. He talks to God, the devil and Death and winds up choosing Death as his godfather. What happens after that is just crazy and wonderful. Definitely not a happy ending. Awesome illustrations as well.

I think this book could be beneficial for students in getting them to dream and go after their dreams. However, I‘m not sure for the same reason it would be a good lesson.
pickThis fast paced novel had many flawed but interesting characters. There was sex, adultery, theft, murder and multiple twists and turns. There were a couple of sweet nieces, con men, a sexy socialite and a law professor. Most of the action takes place in Chicago with a bit of traveling. Simon and Vicky seem like a normal married couple in a stale relationship. Be prepared to ask yourself again and again if you know what is happening. 4.25/5
so-so
