Diksha Goyal _ikshagoyal28 — Ah-Kim and her mother arrive from Hong Kong after being sponsored by Aunt Paula, her mother’s older sister, so they could have a new life in Brooklyn. They live in a roach-infested, condemned apartment with no heat and do piecework at a garment factory owned by Aunt Paula and Uncle Bob in Chinatown. Ah-Kim (now known as Kimberly) knows her only chance to get her and her mom out of there is to succeed in school, and luckily she has the smarts to do so. She scores a perfect score on the SAT and wins a full scholarship to Yale. I loved this book and the perceptions of Chinese life, the differences b/w the two cultures, and felt I learned a lot about this. Recommended to me by a fellow adoptive mom. Would have rated it higher, though, except for how it ended, though – boo, hiss!

Oriana Pluchino nanapluchino — I really enjoyedThe Bone Garden. It was the best Tess Gerritsen book I have read so far. I liked it because it wasn't the usual R&I investigative team. She went off the beaten track and wrote a mystery with historical and medical connections. I thought this was really well done. I wish she would take this risk again.

Wutattoo Zhao _u_attoo — It's the late 1930s (1938?), and English narrator Marlow has just lost his job as a factory production manager. Eager for employment (he is engaged to be married), he applies for and accepts an unlikely position: to serve as the Milan representative of an English armaments manufacturer. Having just entered into the Axis alliance with Nazi Germany, Italy is a hotbed of espionage, and Marlow, because of his access to Italian weapons factories, immediately attracts the attentions of various spies as well as the Italian secret police. Marlow is a likeable narrator and a competent engineer, but he doesn't know the first thing about spycraft, and he's prone to impulsive decisions as well, so he soon gets himself into some trouble. As the plot thickens and the tension builds, we worry that Marlow may meet the same fate as his predecessor, who was the victim of a vehicular manslaughter (which we see in a brief prologue). Typical of Ambler, this book has engaging and memorable characters and a vivid setting, and the pacing carries us along quickly -- at times, pulse-poundingly. But overall it falls one star short of perfect because it relies too heavily on dialogue: too much of the story is related to us through conversations between characters, too little actually shown to us through action. But overall it is a very solid espionage tale set (and written) on the eve of World War II.
