STARSZBOOKS
I'm a high school English teacher with a huge passion for reading! Also I vlog about books on my YouTube channel called StarzsBooks.
Hamlet (Signet Classic Shakespeare)
3.5 stars. All the good stuff happens at the end! It was extremely hard for me to stay awake during this one. I think I was spoiled by all the action in Macbeth.
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Wonderfully written. I love the light airiness of Alexie's words. I love Junior's 14-year-old wisdom. I love the courage illustrated in this book. I'm glad I read it :)
Bakuman 01
This took me a little while to get into but I believe the series will get better over time :)
Pride and Prejudice
I loved it. incredibly funny. Elizabeth is by far my favorite character. Her temperament is what I aspire to be. I hope to read more novels written by Jane Austen in the future.
Julius Caesar (No Fear Shakespeare)
It is Roman custom to fall upon their own blade once defeat is inevitable. An honourable way to die? I'd rather fight until the end. But I can understand not wanting to die at the hands of your enemies.
The Things They Carried
I've never read a book like this before about war. At some moments the tone, even when describing a dismembered body, was detached, stoic. I suppose it had to be that way. Otherwise the entire book would have been filled with sadness and tears...
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (P.S.)
I have fallen in love. My head is filled with the story still. Only great literature stays with you like that.
The Great Gatsby
When I read this book in high school, I loathed it. I believe I felt that way because I lacked the literary capacity to truly absorb the essence of the text. I am happy that I gave it another go. The story is so sad and so true. America in the 1920's, unfortunately, is no different than America right now (as far as social economic statuses go...)and that saddens me. And Gatsby...poor poor Gatsby.

After
Very intriguing, detailed, bloody and graphic. Read this to step inside the mind of an alleged "baby killer"...
Insurgent (Divergent)
After looking at everyone else's reviews I think I may be the odd ball here...

A Million Suns: An Across the Universe Novel
Omg this book was so good. Every page left me with my eyes wide and heart hammering. Purely amazing. I simply cannot wait for the next installment.
Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle, Volume 1
I'm a little confused to begin with but maybe the series get better?
