Just finished My Name is Mary Sutter, historical fiction set in the Civil War era. Very good read, strong female character with the other characters just as believable as Mary. Well researched. The war scenes were very detailed and gave me a very good vision of the horror of the field hospitals that were constructed during the battles. Hospital is too strong a word but the conditions that are described in which the surgeons and nurses dealt with during the fighting stayed with me even after I finished the book.
Back to more YA fiction - The Boy Book by E. Lockhart. Very entertaining. Funny, on target observations of teenage boys.
