Quick and entertaining thriller--murder mystery with a tenacious suburban mom/stepmom/doctor as detective.I actually would give this 3 1/2 stars. Not a book I'll read again but I enjoyed this as I read it.

The Bishop's Wife Book Review

The Bishop's Wife by Mette Ivie Harrison

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


hmmmmm....how to review this...I too am a Mormon, not a Bishop's wife but a Mormon. I'm torn on this book.

The book drew a lot of its storyline from the Josh and Susan Powell story but it had some twists. I felt like by the end of this book that the author really doesn't like men. She tried to show a fairness but the underlying tone was anti-men and anti-Mormon doctrine. There were no strong character flaws in the main cast of women and there were major character flaws in the main cast of men.

I felt like the author wanted to subtly plant seeds of doubt about Mormonism in the readers. The writing style was readable and entertaining. I'll probably check out one of her YA books to see if I like that better.

Airplane read--well airplane read to Europe and back :).

I was very disappointed in the story. The writing is fine--typical Grisham but the story line was weak. It was VERY predictable. There are no surprise twists to this story. I guessed the reason for the inheritance gift within the first 1/4 of the book.

Also, I am irrationally bugged by the way Grisham writes about Jake's wife--I can't even remember her name--Leslie? Anyway, her character is so flat, so lifeless, and so unnecessary to Jake's life. Really bugged me.

Book #17: non-fiction The Terrorist's Son

I love this TED talk book format. I hope they publish lots more of these. Easily digestible and quick--just like a TED talk. :)

Originally a TED talk. This was a quick read (90 minutes) and a very interesting read. Everyone should read this. It gives real insight into the American families left behind and the torture and torment they go through because of the choices made by their parents.
