Rejected: City of the Beasts by Isabel Allende

Verdict: Some language issues, and some emotional ones. The story reads as artificial to me in subtle ways, instead of giving me that "I am a thing unto myself" feel that good books should. (11/31 keepers)

Rejected: Anywhere But Here by Mona Simpson

Verdict: This is one of those books that's trying really hard to maintain a tone rather than tell a story. I have enough problems concentrating on reading as it is; without the hooks of an interesting character, universe, or plot this would be a total slog. (11/32 keepers)
