Night



Author: Elie Wiesel
Favorite Character: Eliezer
Why: I liked him not just because he was the main character but more so for how painfully honest he seemed to be with himself. He didn't seem to change his story according to how he thought it would sound, instead, it came across as something that needed to be told and Elizer was the one to tell it.
Favorite Part of the Book: I wouldn't say there was a part in the book I fet particuarly happy when reading. However, what I found interesting was the the bond between the father and son. I enjoed hearing how both of them were the reason for each other going on, the strong force that kept them hanging on... to life... to hope.
Least favorite part of the book: For the most part, the whole book wasn't rather pleasant. A lot of the time, the characters were often taken advantage of, ther living conditions horrible, and ther spirits, almost broken. However, I wouldn't say that was bad. I really didn't have a Least favorite part of the book either, I felt that the story had to be told, and the only fact that I felt negativity toward was the fact that it even happened, as I felt before I read this book. However, I can put a face (story) to the Holocaust.

With Red Hands





Author: Stephen Woodworth

Favorite Character: Inez

Why: I did enjoy Natalie in this book too, but I thought I'd point out a new character. I really liked the friendship between the two. I also enjoyed Inez herself, I suppose confidence was a main part of it.

Favorite Part of the Book: My favorite part of the book had to do with Dan, I really enjoyed the part where he left. Not as in I was glad to see (read) him leave, but just the fact that he should have and did. I suppose it was the last time Dan took over Natalie's body to spend his final time with Callie.

Least Favorite Part of the Book: I knew that alot of the story had to do with Dan and Natalie dealing with his death. I thought her take on death and how she used Dan as a crutch while everyone else had to go about their lives without their loved ones was an interesting take. However, I can't help but think I'd be doing the same thign too.

Through Viloet Eyes


Author: Stephen Woodworth

Favorite Character: Natalie

Why: One reason I liked Natalie the most, was more so because although she was employed for her "natural" gift, she provided much more to her job that included her personality. Also, I believe she handled herself well during her "job" and stressful situations.

Favorite Part of the Book: When Natalie met Arthur with Dan, and I realized her nick name was "Boo." I enjoyed the idea of unity among the Violets and how she could trace back her childhood. Many times when I hear/read stories about people with special ablities, I never know about their childhood, its refreshing. Also, many of her flashbacks I found interesting, I loved reading about the days in her school and how she got her nickname.

Least Favorite Part of the Book: Its not so much it was my least favorite but I didn't enjoy the relationship between Dan and Natalie. It was predictable, I knew it was going to happen by from th
e moment the author introduced Natalie

Well hello everyone! I guess you've came here to see what is buried underneath that Mt. TBR (I swear, I'm working on it, I'm slowly reading my way free)? Or maybe to find out what is beneath the shell? Yes? Or you have come because you have nothing else to do and want to do some browsing? No matter what, welcome!
