Review: Crossed

Crossed by Ally Condie

My rating: 2 of 5 stars



I really enjoyed Matched and expected to have two more books to enjoy. Didn't happen. This book falls far short of any expectations based on Matched. I didn't finish the book, eventually getting tired of every character by the halfway point.

Review: The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why

The Unthinkable: Who Survives When Disaster Strikes - and Why by Amanda Ripley

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Fascinating book that looks into people's reactions to disasters. This was a book that was so filled with intriguing details and surprising stories that I found myself repeatedly telling my husband, "Oh, I just read the most interesting thing. Did you know..." Included are stories of big disasters - 9/11, tsunamis and hurricanes - as well as ones about individuals and their personal disasters. It's a long read but well worth it.
