I can't write books so I review them instead
If you haven’t realized already, I’m one of those people that loves to read books by the same author, especially if I had a great experience reading the first one. That should explain why I decided to read this novel. The Thirteenth Tale was a really good read and I loved the author’s way of writing so…
After reading Room, I decided to try more Emma Donoghue books. So here is my review: All Mary wants is to be rich and have beautiful dresses. She doesn’t want to wear her sack dresses and go to Charity school. She does not want to go into service and work as a maid; nor does…
I was looking for a book that was different from the ones I’ve been reading now. I don’t know what I wanted but I knew I didn’t want to read anything that was similar to my “usual” choices. So I read this book, which is definitely different but still extremely enjoyable. This story takes place…

I read this book back in high school and I’ve got to say that John Steinbeck is a damn good author. With such an interesting story line, it is hard to forget this book! The story parallels the biblical one of Cain and Abel and describes both the love and animosity between two brothers who…
I recently had the pleasure of reading We Need To Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver. The story is about a mother who recounts the events leading up to her son’s decision to murder 9 schoolmates. I found it to be….interesting, for lack of a better word. The voice of the story is completely unexpected;…
