It’s dark. No redeeming characters. I liked it better than I thought I would.

Evil Genius – Claire Oshetsky

An insanely emotional book, in the same vein as ‘Why Women Kill.’ This book will make you audibly gasp at least once and you’ll sympathize so much with the main character that you will understand every crazy and bad idea she has.

Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life – William Finnegan

Really great coming of age story beginning in the late 60s about juvenile fun and travel, with a focus on surfing and an amusing stream of consciousness narrated throughout.

Read Alike: Stop Time by Frank Conroy, Jon Krakauer’s Into the Wild

The Long Walk – Stephen King

I loved this book! Why are all of these kids walking? What is the prize? This isn’t a scary clown book; it’s in your face and physical.  King’s first novel.
