We Need to Talk about Kevin (P.S.) by Lionel Shriver

Rami, September 20, 2011

We Need To Talk About Kevin is a gripping emotional look at a story that is all too often looked over. We know all about the killer, and the killed, but always very little about the killer's family, and the effect it has on them. In this novel we are given letters dripping with regret, written by Kevin's mother Eva to her estranged husband. The letters give us an insight into a much more internal world of the killer.

All in all, I'd say it was a great book. The language used was fittingly aristocratic, reflecting Eva's often snobbish outlook on life. The story gave a much needed voice to the mothers of the murderers.

The Female Eunuch (P.S.) by Germaine Greer

Rami, February 27, 2011

What an incredible book! Greer digs deeply into the most (seemingly) normal institutions, and uncovers some of society's darkest secrets. Some of it might seem a little outdated, but the books strives to expose the timeless misogyny that has come to shape our world. Definitely recommended to any aspiring feminist.

Wow. Just wow. I honestly don't think Ive ever read a book as vivid and colourful as this one. The adventures are all equally entertaining and riveting. All the animals he sees, and the people he meets, are all so vibrant. I would recommend this book to anyone with a penchant for adventure.

Daisy Miller (Penguin Classics) by Henry, Jr. James

Rami, February 27, 2011

This book is, without a doubt, a classic. Its introduction of the "manic dream pixie girl" has certainly affected modern literature. The story takes you on a journey to beautiful Switzerland, where you can plunge into the relationship of Daisy Miller and Winterbourne. In general, I'd say this book was plain great.

The Human Comedy by William Saroyan

Rami, February 27, 2011

"The Human Comedy" is a heartwarming tale of two brothers coping with their oldest brother's absence. The author masterfully weaves in difficult topics like death and time, and makes it an all-over endearing story.
