Finished A Change in Altitude

Well, another book down. Just finished "A Change in Altitude" by Anite Shreve. Definitely not her best book but a good book, nontheless. I liked this book. I did not love it. 3 stars out of 5.

I have read about 3 books now based on Africa. This one was pretty true to real life, but not totally acurate. There was no real time frame here, so it was hard to tell if this was 1960 or 1995. I had to kind of guess when this book actually took place. And it didn't have very many chapter breaks, which annoys me a little. But it was mainly suppose to be about the woman Margaret and her marriage to Patrick. Decent story, but a little cheesy in parts.

A Change in Altitude


My newest book is "A Change in Altitude" by Anita Shreve. This is probably the fourth book I've read from her. I really like her style of writing and can usually get through her books pretty quick. Hopefully I can get through her book a lot quicker than the last book I read.

So far, this book is really interesting and I think I will really enjoy this one.

Finally.......

Finally finished "Under the Dome" by Stephen King. This book was huge at 1000+ pages. This book took me about 3 months to finish. It was a very good story and I really liked it until about 25 pages from the end. I thought the ending kind of ran out of steam and puttered out. Not a good ending for me at all. Very disappointing. I have read that they are going to make this into a mini-series for HBO. I really hope they do, I will definitely watch it. I hope they can interpret the ending better than I can.

Now to start my next book.
