Book Review: The Gravity of Birds

May 18, 2016 20:46

I don't think I've ever openly cried while reading a book. If I try to search into my memories, I can't recall a moment I wasn't able to read something because my eyes were full of tears... Until now ( Read more... )

The only book I have a memory of really crying over was 'The Book Thief'. I just remember putting the book down and then the tears were flowing. I've felt sad after books before, but that was probably the only time I really cried.

I will keep this book in mind next time I have an adult looking for good fiction! Might be a good one for our local book club groups, they always want something "good" and since I mostly ready Young Adult, I struggle to find things quickly! Totally raiding your GoodReads next time they show up!

Same. I remember being sad and also be haunted by books. Also go back thinking about them and have a rush of emotions, but this one made me actually cry, but it wasn't because it was tragic, I just felt very close to the characters, I created with them a connection that went deeper than usual!

That makes me very happy! :) I think this book is a great choice for a book club because there'a a lot to talk about... One of the things that caught me off guard was the connection with the poem at the beginning of the book to the last sentence of the last chapter before the epilogue. Some passages are extremely powerful! Such a wonderful book!

Totally raiding your GoodReads next time they show upI gave a lot of 5 stars this year so far but I've been incredibly lucky so far. I didn't expect any of this ( ... )

Well, what can I say... I'm a pretty-bookcover-whore, so I think I'll check this one out at some point.^^

Need to check it out on goodreads...

Please do! (I'm a bookcover whore too LOL I can't help judging a book from its cover xD I'm so shallow xD) and then let me know!!! I'm sure you're going to love it!!!

Goodreads gives it almost 4 stars, I haven't read the reviews though... I rarely do before picking up a book because I want it to surprise me, sometimes I go back to read some to check if I've missed something... That reminds me I need to go check as well! :D
