October Reading


The Adventures of Polo, Faller
Very sweet and fun wordless adventures of Polo the dog. Three stars.

The Rules of Survival, Werlin (Y)
A young man narrates to his much younger sister all of the games he played and sacrifices he made to protect her from their psychotic mother. Very well done. Four stars.

Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Cohen and Levithan (Y)
Alternating his and hers voices of a first meeting and falling madly in love being up all night in punk-rock New York City. Romantic and steamy. Four stars.

World War Z, Brooks
This one is jumping right onto my best-of-the-year list, fantastic reportage on the ten-year zombie war, in the voices of those in the thick of it. Five stars.
