The Defector Daniel Silva The Russians kidnap secret Israeli assassin Gabriel Allon's wife. He's understandably pissed. He shoots people in the head and crisscrosses Europe in search of clues. Fast paced and interesting. This could be my favorite Daniel Silver novel yet.
One Day David Nicholls I almost put this book down. First because I was like goddamnit, once again I have chosen a book of short stories because despite the fact that it follows Emmah and Dexter throughout the book, the fact that the chapters take place once a year on July 15 makes it feel like a collection of short stories with the same characters. Second, I was like oh heck no I don't want to read a book about friends who are in love who don't know it and spend years of their life wasting around. By far the best line in the book is when Emmah's boyfriend says, "Why would I want to go out with Harry and Sally?" I'm glad I stuck with this book because I actually enjoyed it. I thought it was going to be too gimmicky, but it ended up sucking me in. I may have cried a bit. And I'm looking forward to the movie.
