  • Exit Strategy

    By Lee Child with Andrew Child
    2 stars

    It may be just that I've read every Jack Reacher novel, but I felt bored with this one. I still love Jack the lone maverick, but he didn't build any relationships in this one, and on reflection, I think that's what was missing.

  • Girl in Translation

    By Jean Kwok
    5 stars

    The conditions that some people live through really make you grateful for what you have. This is a riveting tale of a mother and daughter's determination and belief through terrible adversity. It's beautifully written with poetic descriptions, yet the narrative never falters.

  • The Door-to-Door Bookstore

    By Carsten Henn
    4 stars

    It's a gentle story about the power of books, reading and human interaction. It has some cute characters and relationships, but the ending feels as lost as the main character.

  • The Compound

    By Aisling Rawle
    4 stars

    Gripping and unsettling because of its real-life potential.
