The story kept me engaged and kept me guessing. I’d recommend this book for someone who enjoys psychological thrillers.

Fences is a beautifully written yet heart wrenching story of a black man and father being so affected by the past that he can’t move forward, causing him to lose control of those he loved over time. Troy, the main character of the play, is in many ways scarred from his past. He works with his hands because his father did and he knows that a skill if the only thing the harsh world can’t take away from you. Growing up in the post-civil war time period and seeing the ways in which his father and black people struggled, he refuses to believe society will ever treat black people justly and allow them a chance to pursue what they love most. This is reflected in his refusal to sign a paper and let Cory, his son, play football and gain an opportunity for college. Troy can not fathom a world which allows black people to play mainstream sports and tries to prevent the pain before it starts by stopping Cory from playing. Resentment grows in Cory and with added issues of society’s treatment of his disabled veteran brother, Gabe, Troy begins to feel stuck and out of control with his life’s path. In doing so, he cheats on his wife, Rose, with a woman named Alberta and becomes the father to a girl who he asks Rose to take in. Miserable, and pushing away all who cared about him in his life, he becomes a stranger in his own home and begins his “fight” with death until he passes 8 years later. His impact on those around him (both good and bad) lingers on. I liked the story, even with us heartfelt sad ending. It is an overall great book!

This was not my favorite book because I’m not really interested in planets.

This had a twist I was not expecting at all! I loved how this deviated a bit from Sager’s normal vibe.

While the book had the main character gaining great benefits from meditation, astrology readings, and yoga, none of which are my thing, the story included these things in a humorous way which made the book enjoyable. It’s the story of a year in the life of a 30 year old woman who, as the title suggests, finds 30 things she likes about herself. I really enjoyed the book.

I liked this book because it is about a witch and there is a place called Hecate where all the witches from 300 years ago when to hide from the men who hunted them. Eloise- 9

I like this beef because I can read it myself

Not my favorite, I wasn’t a huge fan of either main character and found the plot was very predictable.

It was a funny book and I read it myself

You will love this book if you like The Red Queen series and the Hunger Games. It is a great enemies to lovers novel, a wonderful adventure and a very addicting book.
