For the first time in years, I am finally able to really indulge in summer reading! In the first week of my vacation, I blazed through three books! Yay for Summer! I read this book in two days, I loved it so much! I read it years ago (so many it is shocking- have I really been alive that long?) but forgot how great a book it is. But I really don't recommend it for all of you. This is a book that is perhaps best suited for those of you who really love all things WWII and can handle of bit of strong language. It is certainly not your average WWII book. It manages to tell a tragic story in a way that is almost funny, but never forgets the seriousness of the topic. It also blends in a masterful way both Science Fiction and Historical Fiction. I've never seen that done so well!
I mentioned that I read two other books in the first week, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli and The Outsiders by SE Hinton. I'll blog about both of those a bit later. Currently, I am reading Tex, also by SE Hinton. I plan to finish that by tomorrow and begin The Book Thief. My goal? 2 books each week for the rest of the summer. What's your goal? Let me know and share your reading in the comments section, please. I hope you are all finding books you love! I can't wait to hear from you!
