The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I didn't really know what to expect starting this book. I was unfamiliar with Grady Hendrix as an author. Upon reading the synopsis I felt this was right up my alley. It starts off slow but trust me when you get through the first ten chapters it picks up tremendously. I found myself identifying slightly with the women of the book club. My favorite character seesaws between Kitty and Slick. All of the women had their strengths and definitely had some weaknesses they had to attempt to conquer. This book, once it got going, really held my attention and drove me to keep reading to find out what the heck a book club would do when confronted with vampires.

Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey ~ Book Review

Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow just wow. This book was so unexpected. I have watched quite a few of Matthew McConaughey's films and just like others prejudged the book. While his is a fun loving, caring guy as he portrays in a ton of his rom-com movies; he so much more. Before reading his book I really thought him to be flighty, but in reading he is so multi-layered and well grounded.

This book was written like a diary and a conversation. There are so many gems in level of his life. The book is full of poetry, sayings, bumper stickers and yes traffic lights. It is a really light read and fast read, while it has slightly over 300 pages it goes by quickly.

What I thoroughly liked about his writing style is his ability to paint a picture so vivid it was as you were there and sometimes he actually provides a picture to back up the story he's telling.

Good ending

This book was real slow to start but has potential. The development of the characters was great. I understand where every party was coming from. I must say one of the good things about this novel was I didn’t solve the mystery at all before the last couple of chapters. But beyond that I really had high hopes for this novel it just took me entirely too long to get into it. There are 32 chapters and for me it did t start getting good until mid twentieth chapters.without giving anything away the ending was great I just wished it would’ve given me that same energy throughout the novel.
