Completed
The Beautiful Mystery ~ Louise PennyPages: 373
Genre: Mystery, Adult, Canadian
Book #8 of the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache
Finished: 168 - 373
Quick Review: I never normally read murder/mystery/detective novels. My mother challenged me, I took it. She suggested a perfect book for me - monks, music, and mysterious manuscripts. While I thoroughly enjoyed the feel of this book, it felt slow. Perhaps that was by design, to be calm and peaceful. Possibly not the most exciting book to read for a book marathon.
World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War ~ Max Brooks
Pages: 342
Genre: Apocalyptic, Adult, Sci Fi, Zoooombiiiiies
Finished: p. 301 - 342
Quick Review: Boy, was I surprised with how much I enjoyed this book. Upon relfection it might be the way the story was framed: as a multiple point-of-view account of a war, much like historical non-fiction. The terrifying thing is the zombie seemed plausible. Half of it because of the realism. Each person, recalling their war experience, had their own voices. Fantastic.
