emmareadstoomuch 's review for:
Another Brooklyn
by Jacqueline Woodson
Man, I love a short book.
Anyone can write a 300 page (or god forbid, longer) book and make me care about characters.
Okay, no they can't. I rarely do. But still, that's all the time in the world. That's no excuse.
But making me care about them in UNDER 200??? Now that's a feat.
And okay, making me care about them at all is, too. Let's just say it's a double feat and move on.
I've read four Jacqueline Woodson novels, all of them have been under 200 pages, and all of them have included characters I care about.
It's hard for a short book to be perfect, but hers come pretty damn close!!
Bottom line: Short books for life!

nothing says slump like taking 4 days to finish a book that's under 200 pages even though you're enjoying it!!

is there anything better than finding a perfect brand new DISCOUNTED copy of an acclaimed book you've had on your radar in a cool bookstore???
