Eleanor & Park book review

Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Eleanor & Park was the perfect read for the month of February. Rowell is able to explore falling in love for the first time so subtly, yet so thoroughly. Reading through Eleanor and Park's story transported me back to the time I was young and exploring the idea and feeling of love for the first time, and brought back a barrage of memories and emotions I'd long since forgotten.

The characters are so well-developed, and the plot is so engrossing you are swept away into 1980s Omaha without even realizing it. I see why this is a beloved book by many, and I regret having waited so long to read it. I feel this book is relatable for just about everyone that is 13+, and suggest if you're looking for a read that touches the darkest recesses of your heart to check it out.

A Series of Unfortunate Events: The Bad Beginning book review

The Bad Beginning by Lemony Snicket

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A fairly quick read for an adult or advanced reader. I really enjoyed this book, and love how Lemony will take the time to deconstruct larger vocabulary words - this would definitely benefit younger readers by buffing up their vocabulary.

The Devil Wears Prada book review

The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisberger

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I really enjoyed this book. Having just got out of a job that made me feel similarly to that of the main character, Andrea, there are certain parts that really hit home. The ending perfectly wrapped things up, and I'm glad I read this book. I watched the movie first, and that was, and always will be canon to me, however, this really was a fun read if y hate your job or have had a job you hate. You feel like you've come home, but the great thing about this book, you can close it and set it aside if situations become stressful!

Fallen Series: Rapture book review.

Rapture by Lauren Kate

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Fallen

Some of Kate's descriptions are lovely, and this book definitely takes some unexpected turns. The way in which the story of Daniel and Luce plays out is really rather poetic, and left me with a warm feeling in my heart. Young Adult fans should definitely cap off the Fallen series with this final installment of Daniel and Luce's story. Romance, danger, violence, and ethereal mysticism fill this book to the brim. It left me wanting it not to end.
