J J shinjy0210ad19 — i found northanger abbey absolutely brilliant! the narration style was very fun to read, always contrasting what should be happening to the heroine of the book with what happens in reality. The story itself could be thought of as plain (girl meets guy, falls in love with him, faces many obstacles, happily ever after). it just the way austen chooses to present the story that makes it interesting and make it thrive in its normalcy. "There was not one lord in the neighbourhood; no — not even a baronet. There was not one family among their acquaintance who had reared and supported a boy accidentally found at their door — not one young man whose origin was unknown. Her father had no ward, and the squire of the parish no children. But when a young lady is to be a heroine, the perverseness of forty surrounding families cannot prevent her. Something must and will happen to throw a hero in her way." i loved how catherine is not heroine material, she is a normal, completely plain girl, with no outstanding qualities and not an interesting situation in life (dead mother, bad father, being too rich or too poor) someone who at other times would become just a side character to a story. what was also very fun about the book is the way that the most intriguing parts to the story were happening only inside catherine's mind, because of her over-active imagination :p last but not least, i found mr tilney's personality the most interesting one in an austen book. i loved his sarcasm, his way with words and his disposition in general:D seriously a very good book, its really worth reading!!

Mayynez Mayynez _ — Steinbeck writes the gold of the summer California hills right onto the page. I challenge any reader to finish this book and try not to love like Sam Hamilton, be otherwise like Adam Trask, listen and judge like Lee, or feel as rawly as Cal. Whereas some books are truly delicious like sushi--rich, invigorating, biteable--East of Eden is savory, like the 3 or 4 hour long meal you spend around the table with your family and most meaningful friends. Afterwards you're thoroughly sated and utterly intoxicated. Do not inhale this book--slowly sift and chew. It's one of three in my life that has made me actively change the way I live and go through the world.

Jolinde Nijland _olinde — this is a book i received as a gift without knowing much of anything about it. it ended up being a well-written story of the struggle of a young man who's trying to get his life together despite having to care for his younger brother and relying only on himself. his story will make you laugh, cry, and re-evaluate your own personal struggles.
