Reported by Rita
Dragon Teeth by Michael Crichton takes
place in 1876 in the American west. Two rival paleontologists are on the hunt
for dinosaur bones in this Jurassic Park meets the Wild West novel. This story
is filled with deception, sabotage, and a discovery of epic proportions. This
was our reader’s second attempt with this title and said it gets really
exciting later in the book and she ended up really liking it. KN
Small Town
Sins by Ken Jaworowski tells of people struggling to survive
in a former coal and steel town on the brink of decay and lengths they go to
get by. Described by our reader as a very interesting non-linear story that
really captures the feeling of living in a small town. Extremely well written
and thoroughly enjoyable. NH
The Strange
Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Other Tales of Terror by Robert
Louis Stevenson is a dark psychological fantasy that explores the idea of split
personalities. Our reader found this classic gothic tale to be just as strange as the title suggests. PC
