"Room" recommended to: people who want to think outside the box (bad joke, excuse my sad attempt at humor). People who like to read books that make you think. People who like reading from an unusual point of view in an unusual (and disturbing) setting.
"The Alienist" recommended to: Anyone drawn to psychological thrillers who want a good read with a book that's hard to put down. BUT, most importantly, those who either have VERY strong stomachs or who aren't able to visualize graphic crime scenes while reading. (that would be me, but turn it into a movie and look out!)
"Beauty" recommended to: people who enjoy fairy-tale retellings. Those who identify with the whole "ugly duckling turns swan" scenario (for some of us "swan" may be aiming a bit high, but you get my meaning). People who like to see that cocky guy from High School type being humbled and finally find love, in the right way.
"The Annotated Alice" recommended to: people who love Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and want to delve a little deeper. Duh.
"Fever 1793" recommended to: people who enjoy historical fiction for teens. People who want to learn more about the yellow fever epidemic that struck Philadelphia in 1793 with minimal effort and moderate enjoyment.
"Briar Rose" recommended to: people who like cleverly modernized fairy-tales or re-tellings of fairy-tales. People who believe that there must be pain in order to have pleasure.
