Reviews

[Heather Black]

I enjoyed all the stories within this book. Tisha explores our own racism against the native people in the Alaskan wilderness. The Dragon is highly relatable to today's events, as it must contend with tensions in China, Russia, and even within our Allies. Oliver's story is a romance about finding love after losing love. Majesty explores the life of Queen Elizabeth II and her ascension to the throne as Queen of England. It also explores her more personal side, the one the public rarely gets to see. Overboard is a wonderfully written story of romance and getting lost at sea; the ending, I warn you, is a twist you won't see coming. I didn't.

Tisha - very good
The Dragon - good+
Oliver's Story - very good
Majesty - Enjoyed learning history of and insight into the British Royalty. I would have never selected this book (Majesty) to read. This is why I love Reader's Digest Condensed Books, they cause me to read books that I would otherwise would not have picked out and wouldn't have thought I would have enjoyed.
Overboard - good story but to much jumping from past to present events and I did not like the ending.
