The Samurai's Garden

This book was a very inspirational and motivational one for me. It was incredibly well written for its semi-short length. The message and moral of this touching story is one of tolerance that is shown through Stephen's experiences during the time that the book is written. He grows in strength and mentality and shows that whenever needed, you should help out those who need it, no matter what their differences might be. This is a great book for anyone who is interested in Asian literature. I think everyone should try and read atleast a few chapters of this story, it is amazing. -Pauly

The Book Thief

This book was quite an interesting one from the start. The way that it the writing is broken into main overviews and then small parts inside of those was a great concept. Also I really liked the fact that the books point of view was so unique in that it comes from someone who is completely unrelated to the main story and yet still fully intertwined within it just by being there as a part of life, or rather death. Also, I thuroughly enjoyed the subject matter of Nazi Germany and World War II times. It was an interesting view of things seeing as it portraits the views of the citizens of Germany who didnt truly support Adolf Hitlers regime. Also, the plot was very well writen in its detailed descriptions, not to little and not so much that it overwelmed the reader to the point that they were completely bored and fell asleep in the pages. One last note while I end this review is that the main character though the story is and is not told from her point of view, it is amazing to see the world through the eyes of the innocent who have been taught to do things they see inside as wrong. That is all. -Pauly
