Nickeled and Dimed

Nickeled and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich was a very interesting read, because I think that if a person were to do such an experiment, they must be very interesting characters. She learns many lessons like, the fuits of labor, the unfairness of management and the economy, how to live consevatively and how the average worker operates. Most importantly she learns of the struggles of the average person and the major flaws of this country's economic system. She had very likeable tone throughout the book, and her character development was very visible. Overall, very good book, but a slow start, in my opinion. I would only reccomend this to patient reader.

The Last Shot

I really, really enjoyed The Last Shot by Darcey Frey, even if Marbury had a sticker on it. As an aspiring athlete i really connected to the story, the characters and the emotions they exhibit. More than that, Frey did a great job exemplifying the feelings of the chracter and making the reader undertand those feelings. I really liked the plot and the scenario, especially because it was from the perspective of four similar, yet very different characters. I reccommend this boom to any sport lover.
