Lisa hails from Connecticut, and you know what? She reads. She graces us with what we’ve selected as our Review o’ the Week, a review of In the Woods by Tana French (not to be confused with The Woods by Coben, previously reviewed here on The Literary Life):

I really enjoyed this book. I disagree with other reviewers who disliked Ryan so much. I think he was trapped, in many ways, as a young teenager, because of what happened to him, and it shaded the way he felt and experienced everything. I loved the friendship between himself and Cassie, and I liked the way the author portrayed it.

Having said that, I was disappointed that the mystery of what happened to Ryan and his friends was not solved.

Healthy disagreement with your fellow reviewers is one of the signs that you enjoyed a book. If you didn’t care much about what you read, frankly, madam, you wouldn’t give a damn.

Thanks for the review, Lisa. Want to join her within the ranks of BookSwim’s own elite cadre of book reviewers? Review your book rentals on the site, and every week we’ll comb through the ranks searching for the best one. Give it a try– it could happen to you!
