A bit “Oh, I have this story that I need to finish… well, bam! Ending” but otherwise at least interesting and not difficult to keep attention.

May I just say, huh? Interesting but leaves you wondering what the hell just happened, sort of. Feel kind of pleased with the ending but kind of not. Just don’t know.

Quite interesting though the title didn’t quite fit in until the end. New concept of a narrator that intrigues me.

93. Memoirs of a Geisha - Arthur Golden 6 months ago

Just finished…

A-mazing. Wish it had jumped int my hands from the bookshelf one day to make me read it earlier. Spent way too long owning it before reading. Story is absolutely amazing and amazingly written.

854. Through the Looking Glass - Lewis Carroll 7 months ago

Finished yesterday.

Very interesting and a quick quick read. Great sequel with more parts like the movie not in the first part. Not what I thought reading Carroll would be like.

508. Lord of the Flies - William Golding 7 months ago

Finished early this morning.

Not one of the best though many people saw me reading it and said they love it. One of those necessary, should have read in 3rd grade books.
