Persepolis 2: The Story Of A Return by Marjane Satrapi Pantheon Books, 2004 My Rating; B+ In the first Persepolis (I reviewed it last week) the author told us about her childhood in Iran during that country’s Islamic Revolution.

Book Review: Vision In White

by Nora Roberts Berkley Books, 2009 My Rating: B+ Several decades ago I picked up a Nora Roberts romance book and kept on reading every time she wrote a new one. Then she started trying out new twist to her stories. When she started with the paranormal stuff, I stopped reading her. Now she has [...]
