Books Fifteen and Sixteen

The Lost Summer of Louisa May Alcott was an interesting novel.  I'm not really happy with the ending - she goes back to see her old lover all mangled and broken (her, not him), and I prefer people remember their first love as perfection, but I guess it's not meant to be in some books. ;)





The Autobiography of An Execution left me unsettled as well.  Since I'm pretty sure no one is going to complain about spoilers here - he Dies!  You want so bad for *this one* to make it, and he doesn't, and you're left feeling, like the lawyer, I guess, broken because he was unable to be saved.  Or maybe he was saved, in the end, by the release.  Who can know?
