RE: The Thirteenth Tale...review
Oooo, thanks for posting this. I'm interested in all three books. Please post a review when you're done with The Historian. I've heard mixed reviews.
I just finished Towelhead last night. What a great read (although shocking!) and would recommend it to anyone with a pre-teen or teenage daughter. It's about a thirteen year old girl of Arab descent and the abuse she suffers from her mother, father, and the man who lives next door. It's very graphic and I found myself crying through most of the book. I really liked the "frankness" of the main characters thoughts. It may offend some, but I think it's an important read about what young girls are potentially faced with.
Has anyone read Lunar Park? Could you explain the ending? I should have known it would leave me dazed and confused, as I tried reading American Psycho and had to put it down after the sixth chapter, EWWWW!

I got through the Thirteenth Tale. It was ultimately disappointing to me, but it did hold my interest well enough. Pretty forgettable, though!
On the other hand, I ADORED Water for Elephants! I'd say I pretty well LIVED in it when I had it open and thought about the characters when I wasn't reading. It even joined my "To Re-read -- Someday" pile. I definitely recommend that one.
