DAMN omg
I read the book without any information, blindly I could say. I was here for a zero biased read. The impending doom throughout is dense, yet sometimes it is lifted, when they talk about the future, about their possible lives. Must be the same way for them, you you feel their doom, their fate, their draining and tying way of life. They will never escape, you want them to, and maybe? But a sense know they won't.
I knew Lennie was going to get killed, yet not by whom it when, or when the story would end. Yet I was nit expecting that until the last few pages, still not sure if George was going to betray him. Yet betray might not be the right word, he did everything for him, this might have been in Lennies best interest. I am not sure, it doesn't feel as a betrayal.
Wow, many emotions, draining and tiresome. Pretty interesting.
I expected some intense ending but not to lead to death, maybe him being shunned from his community and evidently the men being taken away by immigration. Maybe him killing others? But him dying did create a sense of peace in me, like a big stress had finally disappeared some sense of relief. He didn't deserve what came for him, however that is never an answer, then why did it feel fair? The characters can I live in peace but what will happen to them? What does the future for Marco and Beatrice hold? I want to think that it will turn out better for them. Marco has finally transformed his character has finally developed right at the end, it took him long enough...
I have no clue what will happen to Beatrice. Catherine and Rodopho can finally begin your new life, they are the ones better off to be honest, this whole affair began because of them it began for them yet they are the ones better off. I hope they take advantage of your new life.
They were to an extent naïve and young, however they of course didn't mean any of this to happen, they were good and did not deserve any of this. however this whole play did begin because of them.
My sister recommended me this book and instead I read it, I did not regret it. I enjoyed it so much and was so different from the things I usually read. I was also stuck as a book I have been reading seems unfinishable even as I am liking it, this was easy and quick to read and reignited my interest I reading other things. I recommend it so much, it is different, I don't fully know why, but it felt different in the best way!
There are very few books I have to finished and this is one of them. I have read man YA novels and romantic books, but this one is simply terrible. Another review mentioned all the name dropping in the book and it is so true. It's over dramatized and uncomfortable. I like cliché, this is just too false. I don't know how there are two more books about this same story!
This was an incredible memoir which talks about the importance of education and how it can change someones life. Most of my family has now read it and everyone has loved it. So much power in her stories!
