Look Again by Lisa Scottoline

I picked up Lisa Scottoline's Look Again because of the tag line that reads "What would you do if the face in a missing child photo was your son's?" This intrigued me.
Ellen Gleeson got one of those postcards in her mail with pictures of missing children, unlike me however, she did not throw it away. The child on it was to familiar. She chose to keep the card. With that she begins unravelling a larger than life deception with herself and her son as the focal point.
I found this book enjoyable, but I am a little apprehensive about exactly how much to blog about the story. I am afraid I will give away too much information. Hopefully, I will get better at this as I go along.

Little Children by Tom Perotta

I finished reading Tom Perotta's Little Children. This was an interesting book; it is about a myriad of things: suburban life, married life, parenthood, sexual deviance, etc. Tom Perotta is great at creating dichotomies that make the reader question the thinking of the characters. Why do they respond this way in this situation, but so differently in another instance. I cannot really speak to much in detail about this novel for fear that I will give away too much.
I am not sure what I am going to pick up next, that will be a decision for later.

Best Friends Forever

I finished Jennifer Wiener's Best Friends Forever. It was a pretty decent book,a bit predictable, but not so much so that I wanted to stop reading it. I would recommend it as a good vacation book, nothing too heady.
Upon finishing that one, I started another Tom Perotta novel. This one is Litle Children. In this one there are several stories going on at the same time. I will have more on this one tomorrow.
