The Invention of Wings
The Invention of Wings
I came to read this amazingly well-written book in the last few days and I want you to know that I was overwhelmed! I totally recommend it to you and trust me you won’t be disappointed.
The first thing that I think makes the book so amazing, is the way the story of two girls with a completely different background, is presented. Well, you have to consider that the story is set in the 19th century, so that’s the second thing that I think is so well described. I perfectly could imagine and understand how the people lived back then, it was like travelling back in the past. Apparently, this book is written in the view of two girls so the book has two main characters. Another aspect I want to mention, that I found very appealing, is that throughout the book the whole life story of these two girls is described. It feels like you can almost watch them grow up from a young age on. Continue reading

Each and every one of them individual …

It has only been one day since I finished reading this book. Misery might be one of the very best books ever. Just the title itself sends shivers down my spine. It isn’t the language that Stephen King uses in this novel that makes it so realistic and riveting; it …
