By Delia Owens “This book has you fully immersed in the marsh from beginning to end, like you can almost smell it. But it really lacked in character believability for me.” Eakle Reviews With all the hype around this book, I really thought it was going to be better than it was. The way Owens …
By Anne Frank “This is wholly the rawest form of human intimacy.” Eakle Reviews The part that makes this book so sad is you already know the ending. As much as you want to root for Anne and her family and friends, you can’t. This is an encapsulating look at what life would be like …
By Celeste Ng “A poignant look into what it’s like to be a little bit different and the struggles of failure.” Eakle Reviews I think my favorite part about this book was the way Ng built tension between every character. The tension was so realistic that I even got stressed out about it. The book …
By Tom Spanbauer “Potent. That is the best and only word for this novel.” Eakle Reviews I really don’t even know where to start with this one. Faraway Places is dark and twisted. I mean, we see a man pleasure himself with three Doberman Pinschers. Spanbauer’s style of writing is inspiring. He sets the pace …

Bova paints a delicate picture of vulnerability, and how we can find strength …
By Madeline Le’Engle “A Wrinkle in Time is a good child’s series, full of friendship and heartfelt messages.” Eakle Reviews While this is the first book in a series of five…..I didn’t like it. A Wrinkle in Time is a good child’s series, full of friendship and heartfelt messages, like, “It isn’t on the outside …
By Chuck Palahniuk “This is an entirely different side of death. An entirely different side of Hell. And an entirely different side of society.“ Eakle Reviews Only Palahniuk could write a coming-of-age about a dead, 13-year-old, self-proclaimed “fat girl” overhauling Hell as a telemarketer, collecting candy from demonic beings, and ripping the mustache off Hitler, …
By Emily Bronte “Bronte takes us through the absolute most horrific emotional roller coaster of love and spite that is only rivaled in darkness by Poe.” Eakle Reviews Wuthering Heights is rotten to the core with vengeance and power.
