The Unknowns: A Mystery by Benedict Carey


My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Interesting plot for a mystery involving lots and lots of math. For reasons I am unable to define it felt very dark and kinda gritty for a kids book. Not in a bad way, just an odd feeling for a kids book. Also, I didn't feel the characters were very easy to connect with. I didn't really care about them much.

Four Seasons in Rome: On Twins, Insomnia, and the Biggest Funeral in the History of the World by Anthony Doerr


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I picked this up after hearing the author on NPR. A good read, the prose got a little over the top concerning nature now and then, but the twins kept it all grounded in reality.
