alexislynae 's review for:
Sophie's Choice
by William Styron
I do not have the words to describe how amazing it was to hold a book in my hands and actually want to hold it there after all of these weeks of mediocre reads. I was captivated by this story, I loved these characters, but I was also enraged by them. How many times I wanted to go in and twist one of their necks, but also how many times I longed to be in there walking along with them. I, like Stingo, have had dreams of being a writer for years, and I think this is what particularly endeared him to me. I also plan on going away for school, and so I was fascinated with how he handled life on his own without the aid of close-by family or friends. I loved the evolution of the friendship of Sophie, Nathan, and Stingo. I was rattled down to my core by several revelations throughout the story, not the least of which being her infamous choice. I loved this book, and I would recommend it for anyone who is able to handle the very real darkness of it.
