This is a quick, but extremely powerful book about the holocaust, told from the perspective of a young child. The contrast of a child's perspective of incredibly serious things is very interesting and thought provoking. I highly recommend this book (and the movie based on it).
One of the best books I have ever read is by the same author as The Kite Runner so I finally decided to check out this book too. It was a very interesting look into the struggles of life in modern day Afghanistan. This book brings out a variety of emotions for readers: joy, laughter, sorrow, sadness. I highly recommend this one!
Think No Evil is a look inside the Amish community, and particularly the recent school house shootings, and the aftermath of this tragedy. I was very convicted as I read this book about forgiveness and I think that a look into Amish culture really helps us to understand what true forgiveness looks like.
There has been a lot of hype around this series of books, so I had to dive in and see what it was all about. I have to admit I had a hard time getting into it, but powered through and finished. I eventually got into the story and really enjoyed getting acquianted with the characters. I look forward to seeing what happens in this mystery series.
I already blogged about this book, and thought that it was excellent. It was written from the perspective of two sisters, one in captivity in North Korea, and one at home trying to get her out. My favorite part of this book was how current it was and the fact that I actually got to hear the real story behind what little information the media was able to give.
