The Little Liar by Mitch Albom

Paula’s first review of the year

it was amazing
First book of 2024! Much different than his other books, The Little Liar, by Mitch Albom, was easy to finish, but clearly, difficult to get through in spots. I try to limit the number of books I read on this subject matter, but I had been in a slump, and knowing how much I enjoyed his other works, I decided to read a Mitch Albom novel, again.
Im so glad I did. And you’ll be happy you do, too.

James by Percival Everett

Paula’s last review of the year

really liked it
I can see how this book garnered all the accolades it had, but for me, I found it a bit sluggish. Slow moving, and although it was based loosely on the ADVENTURES of Huckleberry Finn, it didn’t feel very adventurous to me. Grueling was more like it.
Difficult subject matter, important issue that’s been studied for centuries, that being the reason for the four stars.
