Not one of my fave reads, couldn’t care less about the narrator’s perspective.
The Giver by Lois Lowry

Read this when I was a kid, prob wouldn’t like it now as an adult but that’s okay - it’s meant for kids.
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

I can’t stand this book, but I guess that’s the point you’re not meant to like the main character. However it just feels unnecessary - meh
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee

It’s a classic, not gonna give it a high rating but it is a great story.
Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
4.0
I read this when I was in middle school - I really liked it then. Haven’t re-read it as an adult so I don’t think it’s fair to give it a five star review.
Monstrilio by Gerardo Sámano Córdova
3.0
I ate this book up, which isn’t a good thing or a bad thing. The book was very simple, the plot nor the writing was too complex. Which isn’t a good or bad thing, I believe this book is a good one to get someone out of a slump. I think the premise was good, and the story flowed well. I think it could’ve been fleshed out better, but I liked the way it ended. I know this is the writers first book, so I’m hopeful that their writing will get better.
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

I’m weeping while writing this review of it gives you any indication - this was so good from start to finish. God you gotta love a good tragedy.

After finishing this book I was very emotional so I waited to write this review - I still really enjoyed this read. It’s a historical fiction so the pacing is very slow but I think that made the ending that much more impactful. It really highlighted how everything in one’s life can just change at the flip of a hat. There were points in this book where I was mad at every character, which I don’t hate because I prefer realistic characters over characters who are always perfect and well thought out. To have them make mistakes and make bad decisions, makes them more human. I didn’t like the emphasis on how beautiful the characters were, it felt unnecessary to the plot. Same with the love plot points, I think the story would have been just as impactful without it. Nevertheless, it was a beautiful tale of sisterhood, family dynamics, and the indomitable human spirit.
