⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This book is truly one of a kind! I have never read a book so full of dislikable characters, but still feeling so attached to them at the same time. I am in awe of the Brontë sisters and can't wait to keep reading more of their work. Few books m...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐It's written 1948? Clearly History has its twisted ways to repeat itself.. A Note that MUST be written in the cover of every edition..

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I have never cried so hard in my life over a book. It's an amazing book, but hard to read because it's quite heavy

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Some books read like a lifelong friendship, each page a warm or comforting embrace as you laugh and weep along with the characters.

⭐⭐⭐⭐A Clockwork Orange is one of those books which everyone has heard of but which few people have actually read –- mostly, I think, because it is preceded by a reputation of shocking ultra-violence. I’m not going to deny here that the book contains ...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Someone said "you think you know love and then you read white nights" and holy moly they were right. The yearning! The hope! The unrequited love! A new favourite short story / novella for sure. Two lonely people bond over a series of conversatio...

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐This was a short book that carried a big punch. Although it is often labeled as a children’s story, it is so full of beautiful symbolism. The Little Prince is worth reading once a year.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Is it possible that I had only read the first 4 scenes and Hamlet already became one of my favorite male characters ever? YES! Why? He’s constantly wearing black and monologuing about how literally everything is hard and making everything more d...
Hamlet

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I’ve always believed that Iago is one of the greatest literary villains ever! A nemesis who was so twisted by hate and even acknowledged that he had no good reason for wanting to destroy the hero. Iago is the archetype for so many modern villain...

⭐⭐⭐⭐I'll admit that I first saw the broadway show, then the 2004 film, and read the book afterwards. The book was a fairly different animal then its other incarnations, but I enjoyed it a great deal, especially the ending, which was much different. I...
