Alice (12 KP) rated A Court of Thorns and Roses in Books

Jul 3, 2018

Oh what a twist! Fabulous book.
I loved the characters and how everything fit together nicely. There was the right balance of humour and drama, the right balance of dialogue versus descriptive prose and all round very well written.

Alyson Richman recommended When Breath Becomes Air in Books (curated)

"When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. Kalanithi’s brave memoir chronicles in exquisite prose his brave battle with terminal illness, but rather than verge into depressing territory, it is a triumphant and inspiring read. His words make one rethink our perception of time—to not only imagine what we might achieve in the future, but to cherish the beauty that surrounds us in the present"

Book Favorite

"One of the greatest Scottish writers, probably the most affecting prose witness to the unique spirit of the Highland wilderness there has ever been. This book, chronicling life lived with otters on the remote west coast of Scotland, was made into a classic children’s film by Disney in the ’60s, but the book has depths and breadth untapped by the movie. Our Walden of the Hebrides. Beautiful."
