Sara Wird raffaellisara — I was spending so much time writing out the URLs he recommends, I finally just ordered my own copy. Excellent resource.

Nicol Gold _icol_old — NOTE: I do sometimes enjoy reading what some might call...slightly odd books, and Chime is certainly quite odd. If you don't like those kind of things though, you probably won't find this book enjoyable. REVIEW: I picked up Chime for seven dollars whilst on holiday, and have to admit it was a bargain for the price (and it being a hardcover too!). Ever since I saw it on Goodreads at the start of 2011 I’ve wanted to read it, and now that I finally have I can say it’s another reason I love Goodreads. Briony was a remarkable young woman, and yet she just refused to see it. She was smart, witty, brave, loyal and so racked with guilt and anger that you couldn’t help but sympathise with her. Her relationship with Eldric felt natural and built over time and friendship – the proper way. There was no insta-love; she wasn’t even that blown away when she first met him. Her feelings came slowly and reluctantly, though once they’d manifested they were just as strong as anything you’d find in another book. The writing did tend to frustrate me at times; it was so focused of Briony’s self hatred that I found myself getting increasingly annoyed every time she scolded and reminded herself to be self loathing. It was clear to anyone with actual common sense that she did not need to do that to herself, in fact, I had a hard time believing that she was really as bad as she thought she was. However, on a plus note, at times the writing really was beautiful, an articulate flow of words that created a clear picture in your head. The swamp in particular was described with an amazing array of adjectives and metaphors, and even the less attractive ones were still highly effective. I must admit, I pride myself on being quite shrewd when it comes to plots, but Chime’s was sometimes difficult to predict. Full of twists that untangled into knots, the plot was certainly unique to my mind and I enjoyed it. With little clues dropped every now and then, including Rose’s nonsensical mutterings and a love rival who Eldric doesn’t even like, I managed to piece together some parts whilst being completely oblivious to others. It had all the elements of a YA Paranormal; romance, fantastical powers, a slight mystery etc. yet for me it felt totally different to anything else and that was one of the reasons why I liked it so much. A stellar performance from Franny Billingsley, Chime is a decent, yet slightly strange, book that keeps you turning those pages. Perhaps not the most amazing book you’ve ever read, it’s still a great read that is worth it if you can get your hands on a copy.

Shibin Bose imbichie — One of my all-time favorite books.

Arvic Tamayo arvictamayo — This book came highly recommended and positively reviewed by so many different readers, both offline and online. In the back of my mind, I knew there was a possibility that this would be one of those books that became popularized in the reading world for no real concrete reason. Thankfully, that wasn't the case with The Book Thief. Narrated by Death himself, you'd think this novel would be mostly depressing. Quite the opposite; it is life-affirming. As we walk with Liesel through her formative years we watch as she becomes wise beyond her time, thanks to her surroundings, choices, and circumstances. Living as a foster child in Germany during World War II, Liesel's life is enriched by her friends, neighbors, family, and is damaged irretrievably by enemies she didn't deserve. Although this is a fictional account, I feel that in many ways, Liesel's experiences are symbolical and utterly essential to learning about the inexplainable truths and disappointments that so many have had to face. As she makes her way through the terrors of war, Liesel conveys a heart of courage and thoughtfulness that many would have trouble displaying in peacetime. Throughout the novel, Liesel steals books. Sometimes from desperation, sometimes from anger, and sometimes just because they are there for the taking. But Liesel isn't a typical thief, not by any means. Books mean even more to Liesel than they do to most of us who consider ourselves bookworms. Her books are real, sacred connections to her past, present, and future. It's not often you find a novel that is written so simply yet so lyrically. The way the author used words, it was just amazing. Here are a few quotes: "It kills me sometimes, how people die." "Even the wrinkles around her eyes were joining hands." "Imagine smiling after a slap in the face. Then think of doing it twenty-four hours a day. That was the business of hiding a Jew." "She could see the light on Max's eggshell face and even taste the human flavor of his words." I can now officially join the multitude of people who hold this book and its deeply creative author in high esteem.

Wesam Mazhar haddadwesam — Wonderful book, and I met the author at a Borders signing a year or so ago...sweet and charismatic. And saw her in a TED online lecture that was very inspiring.

Nabeel Butt sailkot — This book is garbage. I'm sorry. But it is.

Louise Desportes _ou_ — Short stories divided into two parts: the first contains five unrelated tales and the second contains a triptych of interwoven tales. All are excellently written and imagined. I think Lahiri is at her best with the short story format; I enjoyed both this collection and her Pulitzer-winning Interpreter of Maladies more than The Namesake. Lahiri explores familiar themes in this collection: Indian-Americans who feel misplaced in both India and the United States; exploring romantic relationships. It would be hard to narrow down a favorite here: Lahiri's attention to detail makes all of them special and stay in your head long after you've finished with them. However, the triptych would probably be the winners, as they are just so rich, explored from all three points of view, and the last one ends just so shockingly brilliant....Shocking in that you saw what was coming, but not in that way. I eagerly look forward to Lahiri's next work.
