K's Book Review

Hey everyone. I'm really sorry that I haven't posted in the last couple weeks. There is no excuse I simply didn't have a book read so I didn't do it. But now that I'm back at school I am finding the time to do some reading and have managed to get a few books read ahead of time. This book is one that was given to me for Christmas by my roommate. She also got the book for Christmas and was reading it at the same time as me. We both agreed that this is one of the best tellings of the struggles of a woman during World War Two. It's not a fiction book but it reads like one. This is a story told from the mouth of the woman who lived it, written out by a member of her family. Let me tell you a bit about it: Edith Beer is a Jewish woman who grew up in Germany during the lead up to World War Two. In her words she describes the way her life changed as Hitler came to power and how her family was torn apart before the war even started. Unable to escape Germany due ...

Hey everyone. I hope you are having a good Monday. This week I read a book that has been on my reading list for over a year. I had heard from many people over the year that this was a book that was worth reading. And I have to say, they were right. I will say, after reading it, that the first little bit was boring.

It was just the survival story of a family in a very bad situation. But let me tell you a bit about it: Everyone in town is talking about the asteroid that is going to hit the moon. Miranda has been listening to it for weeks. No one thinks anything of it because scientists don't seem to be worrying at all. On the night ...

Good evening everyone I hope you are having a good Monday. This week I finally decided to get one of the books on my list that I have been staring at in stores for months. Lucky me, when I went to order it online before one of my classes it went on sale for 50% off! LUCKY! But once I got the book I had the crippling fear that it was going to let me down. Many times I have stared at a book for months only to find that when I read it it doesn't live up to my expectations. It's a sad reality. Thank God my fears were all for nothing! From the moment I started reading the book I was hooked. I read through class, at home, on break at work, over the weekend, and any other time I could trying to finish it. Now I should warn you, this book is different than the books I normally do in this blog (even though I always say I do all types of books). This book is non-fiction. True event. Real information. And that is what makes the book so interesting. I won't lie and say that it i...
