I hadn't returned to the book since then and was curious to see if it would hold the same quality reading it a second time. I reread Where the Red Fern Grows. Almost ten years after reading it a first time and found I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as my 12 year old self did. This may be because Red Fern. Indeed introduc...

VISIT MY NEW BLOG. Books I Have Read. Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone Reflection. When I was nine years old, Harry Potter was a growing phenomenon. Kids were going crazy for these books. I can still remember sitting with my friends at lunch time and laughing about how stupid it all was. I mean, c’mon. Who wants to read a book about a boy wizard? More commonly known as The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Two of my favorite chapters exist in this book as well as one of my leas...

VISIT MY NEW BLOG. Books I Have Read. Friday, June 27, 2014. Bonjour Tristesse by Francoise Sagan. I did not know the meaning of this book's title when I bought it. To be truthful, the reason I even came across it was because of an image on Tumblr (below). Someone had taken a photo of a page from this book and I happened to glance over the text when I suddenly saw two familiar names: Elsa and Anne(a). My mind quickly went to Disney's newest movie, Frozen. Hello sadness, says the novel's title, and right ...

I bought the book right away and now three years later have finally found time to read it! Fall into this trope or does it rise above it? Sadly, this book falls into the tropes I feared it would. In an attempt to flesh out the story and add contemporary flare we are subjected to constant exposition and more plot holes than the original tale. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
