Loved the first book, but this second book is not as fast paced.

This is written from a perspective of a German family. And it is very clear how little control they have over the direction of their country and leader, and the fear and hunger that they too suffer under.InTheFastLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09691830067979224059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-15483098609135690642014-02-05T12:56:15.142-08:002014-02-05T12:56:15.142-08:00I'm also excited - I got to work this morning ...I'm also excited - I got to work this morning and someone had left a copy of Doctor Sleep on my desk!!! :) Yay!One crazed mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873085253600643761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-30673304075676923662014-02-05T08:11:09.987-08:002014-02-05T08:11:09.987-08:00Oooh - looking forward to Hollow City!
Currenty ...Oooh - looking forward to Hollow City! <br />Currenty reading Schism - it is the debut novel of one of my high school friends, Brett Dent - his first ever. Just came out last week on Kindle for $2.99. I thought I would check it out, to be supportive, and I'm so glad I did - it's had me up late the last couple of nights not wanting to put it down - here is the synopsis:<br /><br />The hidden secrets of the human psyche are only now being discovered, and a deadly game is being played between those who have the gift and those who want the gift. <br /><br />Adam Hutchens sees the world like no one else—a remote viewer whose incredible gift goes beyond explanation, even in the world of fringe science. When he inexplicably murders his grandmother during an intense psychotic break, Dr. William Creighton uses the opportunity to bring Adam for study to the Hillview Institute, along with other patients with similar talents. <br /><br />When patients begin to disappear following a rumored medical procedure, Adam—with the help of a kind-hearted nurse, his psychiatrist, and a fellow patient—must discover the true purpose of the institute and how to tame his extraordinary power, before it's too late.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />One crazed mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873085253600643761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2667216505702880938.post-68013839191797349052014-02-05T07:51:30.945-08:002014-02-05T07:51:30.945-08:00The Burgess Boys dragged me down a bit last week b...The Burgess Boys dragged me down a bit last week but I'm moving quickly through The Tilted World (and loving one of the main characters: Dixie Carter).
