This is the club’s first non-fiction selection, and if you would like to join, we will be starting Killing The Mob: The Fight Against Organized Crime In America by Bill O’Reilly and Martin Dugard in January. This is a definite change in direction by the club, and I am curious to hear the reviews when they are done.

Arizona’s most recent read, The Girl With All The Gifts by M.R. Carey, was listed on the Amazon Editor’s Pick list for Best Science Fiction & Fantasy for December, with a 4.3 rating, but the book itself had mixed reviews from our club, with an average of 3.4 stars.

The ending seems to have caught all the readers off guard, with Carlos Sigala calling it “unpredictable” and Victor McKaney saying he “didn’t fathom it at all”. Only one reader indicated that they would not read any more work by this author, but the others felt differently, each saying they would read works by M.R. Carey again.

“I enjoyed the writing and the book as a whole. I would read more
books by this author because I like her story telling.” – Isaac Molina
“I enjoyed the style, I couldn’t put the book down.” – Carlos Sigala
“I won’t read any of this author’s future books.” – Victor McKaney
