1. Dancing In The Dark,-Mary Jane Clark

SUMMARY
This was my first book I read this year. Its a climatic story about a reporter Diane Mayfield and her endeavor to keep her family together. With her husband in jail and her boss pulling her every which way, the task of pleasing her two kids become that much harder; especially when she is forced to cancel her end of the summer vacation to cover a story in the quaint town of Ocean Grove, New Jersey.
The story? A woman named Leslie Patterson is accused of falsely kidnapping herself, hence Diane's segment "Girls Who Cry Wolf." With a history of self-injuries and depression, her credibility is gone, with not even her ex-boyfriend to believe her. But once more kidnappings take place, Leslie's story becomes that much more real and has the already heated residents scared for their lives.
OPINION
With it only taking place over a four day period, this is the kind of book that you will do almost anything to finish. The situation is real and you empathize with everyone from Diane to Leslie's psychologist to her boyfriend to the homeless man wandering the streets. Definitely a book that draws you in to the very end.
SUGGESTIONS
The only thing I really have to say is... Well, nothing. I love how well it was set up and how each chapter was from another persons point of view. The ending made everything tie in together so nicely and has you second guessing yourself the whole way.
Well, I hope you all enjoy this book as much as I seemed to. Feel free to post comments or recommend new books for me to read. I am always in need of some new literature!

My Purpose

I love reading, writing, and everything that comes with it. After looking at Nicholas Sparks website and the suggestions for writers, he mentioned how he had been reading a hundred books a year since he was fifteen. Ironically, I am 15 and I would love to follow in this great writers footsteps. Unfortunately, I do not have the means to read a hundred books so, instead, my ultimate goal is to read about 50 books or more by the end of this year. During my endeavor, I will be blogging about each book I read. That will include the number of the book, opinions, and suggestions. Hope you enjoy the journey.
