Dan Brown is a master of suspense. This book is written in a very similar style to DaVinci's Code and Angels and Demons, so I wouldn't read them back-to-back! But it is a very good book.

I really like this author and his travelogues. It helped to have read the first book about his time in Kiribati. I highly recommend his books - they are funny and informative!

I enjoyed this book and the history of Harvard. Someone who lives or has lived in the Cambridge area would probably enjoy it even more.

I read this on a beach vacation and it was a great read. Took about 1/2 of a chapter to get into, just because the "voice" of the main character took a little while to get used to.


My Two Elaines: Learning, Coping, and Surviving as an Alzheimer's Caregiver
Review Date: 11/24/2019


This was a good book for people just starting down the dementia caretaker path. I got it for my father-in-law and it was helpful being written from a husband's point of view. Not as much caretaking ideas, but the best one was "ask for help." Men try to be strong and are not good about asking for help, but this book really made the point that you shouldn't/can't go it alone. It is a quick read, but very moving.
