Review A Book

Post Reply New Topic

You can review it however you want really and you can do more than one review for post. Also, be careful not to reveal spoilers unless they are from early in the book and/or are minor.

The Enemy - Lee Child

This book's theme is a reflection of the main character mean, gritty and strong. It starts with a general dying of a heart attack while with a hooker not really a job for an M.P. But as the story go's the darker and more intricate it gets...

Hole in My Life- Jack Gantos.

Great book! It shows how much a man does to pursue his dreams and it's a true story!

(I'm not that good at this stuff )

I forced my way through the Harry Potter books after receiving criticism for my views on Rowling and her fatuous stories having only read the first installment.

I stand by my original assessment.

I finished Albert Camus' The Stranger (alternately rendered in English as The Outsider) a few weeks ago, and I must say, it was a fantastic read. I initially picked it up because I myself have been working on a writing project involving similar themes (particularly nihilism and absurdism). As I read it, I found myself thinking it was a particularly good book for Aspies. Perhaps it's partly due to the version I read-- I read Matthew Ward's 1988 translation, and apparently it makes a good deal of difference-- but I found myself relating so deeply with the character of Meursault. He walks through his life stoically, virtually untouched by emotion and seeing no point in the pretense of playing along with modern social conventions. I highly recommend it.
