The Knitingale
by Kristan Hannah

Great Book. Author does a great job of portraying the story of two French sisters and the different (but somewhat similar) paths they took during the Nazi occupation of France--one making the best of a terrible situation and the other "headstrong" one joining the French resistance fighters--the many rules implemented by the Nazis, the daily trials of living among the Nazis, the deportation of French Jews to concentration/work camps in Germany and other parts of Eastern Europe, the personal struggle of one sister trying to keep herself and her daughter safe. The lessons she learned living with a "gentlemanly" German Captain and later with a brutal SS Officer. I love the way Kristin Hannah tells stories. You can't put the book down. Fantastic book. Another must read.

My Opinion: Reading a serious mystery after long made me enjoy the thrill that this book offered. The characters stick to business and the narration is fast flowing. I feel the revelation, albeit action packed, was hurried. Rating : 3.5
Velocity
by Dean Koontz

Having read many novels by Koontz this was one of the more disappointing ones. It started out with an interesting premise but by the mid-point my interest started to wan. The story seemed to plateau and the main protagonist’s actions seemed so clinical and unfeeling at times that I stopped caring. The latter part of the book felt rushed as Koontz tried to wrap up all the loose ends.
