Book Reviews: The Journey Home, The Christmas Wedding

The Journey HomeThe Journey Home by Michael Baron

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book was one I randomly picked up. It dealt with an interesting comparison between Alzheimer's disease and amnesia, going back and forth between two different character's stories. It was interesting, and the end definitely makes you think. I was surprised at how much food plays a role in the story. Maybe it's because I'm a picky eater, but food just doesn't speak to me the way it seems to speak to others.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


One of the interesting things about reading a book is getting to know different types of characters. Most of the personalities in this book were very different from myself, and it was interesting to experience life through their lens.

I was drawn to this book by the picture on the cover, and it threw me off to find it was about a 54-year-old woman getting married to someone who wouldn't even know he was marrying her until the day of the wedding. It was pretty clever, though, and I enjoyed the story.
