My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry

My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She’s Sorry by Fredrik Backman is a heartbreaking and hilarious look at childhood, loss, grieving, family and community. Author of A Man Called Ove, this book has everything that was delightful about his most well-known work but is, arguably, more charming. Grandmother follows around Elsa, a seven-going-on-eight-year-old, over […]

The Lost Symbol

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown is everything you’d expect from a Robert Langdon adventure, only this time Brown brings the action state-side for a deep dive into the United States capital. It felt a little like National Treasure, though it was significantly darker. The villain in this book is also, possibly, the most disturbing (though […]

Origin

Technological advances of our time can be captured through reading Dan Brown’s work over the past 20 years. He always seems to catch things that are on the cutting edge. In Inferno, their wild goose chase was brought to an abrupt end when they discovered that they could just Google something, instead of finding the […]

The DaVinci Code

The DaVinci Code is easily Dan Brown’s best-known work, and probably the most controversial. It has stirred the conspiracy-theory pot and ignited international religious debate over the origins of Christianity. Whew. That sounds pretty heavy. And yet, the book is an easy, fun read. So, perhaps the reason for the international conspiracy theories is because […]
