Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
3.0
(3.5 stars)
Sad. Very very sad and devastating. I couldn't find any sinister character here. The monster, the demon himself was a figure of despair and sorrow. Though I hated him in the beginning, I couldn't help myself from feeling pity for the poor wretch afterward. He was innocent, just like his creator, Victor Frankenstein.
As the story continues, and it comes to the part where the monster tells his story through his POV, what he had been doing all the time after his creator abandoned him, that part of the story broke my heart.
The idea encircling the entire novel is how horrid we human beings are. How truly horrible! We judge by appearances. No matter what someone is from the inside, if he is ugly from the outside, he definitely has an ugly heart.
Unlike other horror books, Frankenstein wasn't gripping from the beginning, but as the story proceeded, and when it all ended, left me terribly sad.

Little Girl Gone by Alexandra Burt
3.0
I enjoyed the end. Not the behinning, neither the middle. I got bored easily. But the ending was satisfying.
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

I feel numb. I feel emotionless. I don't feel like I've been on the receiving end of a paperback trauma. So much has happened since I read the first word in this book, yet it feels like nothing happened. I feel numb.
I ran. The last two letters that I read held no emotion for me. Maybe it happens when you're so deeply touched by a book, or maybe I am just an emotionless jerk. I don't know. All I know for sure is that I've been affected. No review. No expressing my thoughts anynmore. I want peace. I'm tired of crying and holding this book against my chest.

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
5.0
I can't get it out of my head. I'm awestruck. It was so BRILLIANT. So WARM. So WITTY. A genius piece of work by the author. So perfect. I couldn't find any flaw in it. I read this in almost one sitting, with only sleep becoming a hurdle. It was terrifying, it was insane and I shouted PSYCHO BITCH a million times and laughed while doing it. It was so fun to read it, that's why the terrifying factor made it more worth it.

Average. Though I might need classes to understand it more. The end was good.
