The Prey

Imagen
I haven't finished this book, but so far it has been great so I feel the necessity of sharing and talking about this book. When I read The Hunger Games I feel in love with the dystopian genre books (Divergent, The Maze Runner, etc.)  Usually when I see a book and I read what it is about if it's a dystopian book, it's guaranteed I will read it. And this has been no exception. From the very beginning it's setting is a mysterious America which has suffered a great damage and nothing is like before. Not everything is described onto what happened or who are the characters we're reading about so you have to keep reading to find out. "Eyes land on a knife, its razor edge trimmed in red. Blood, his blood. Darkness closing in. The world reduced to a pinprick. Fatigue washes over him like a summer storm . My final moments, he realizes . All come down to this." I didn't know who the narrator was talking about nor why he was bleeding, still I wanted to...

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

I can proudly say I'm a Potterhead (fan of Harry Potter), so when I found out a new Harry Potter book and play was coming out, my love for all that world returned and once again everything sourrounding me was related to Harry Potter. I started this book with a lot of expectations and most of them were fulfilled, this an intense story and I love that so most of the time I was in the need to know what happened next. "Well, there are times I wish you weren't my son. There's a silence. Albus nods. Pause. Harry realizes what he's said .            No I didn't mean... Albus: Yes, you did." Quotes like this were the things that kept me going on with the story with such an intrigue. J. K Rowling is back and in a very unique way and I appreciate that because after I finished the book I wished I was in London so I could see the play and return to these characters and story I love. In this book we have the characters we already know...

We Were Liars

Very often when I pick a book I don't know what the story is about, sure I know a thing or two but I leave it there. That's how I started reading We Were Liars, knowing nothing. So you can imagine how I felt when I had read only 5 pages and this was happening "He had hired moving vans already. He'd rented a house, too. My father put a last suitcase into the back seat of the Mercedes and started the engine. Then he pulled out a handgun and shot me in the chest. I was standing on the lawn and fell. The bullet hole opened wide and my heart rolled out of my rib cage and down into a bed of roses" I've   a lways enjoyed  the drama so   with this quote the book and the story grabbed me and I couldn't put it down for the whole weekend I read it. The description was so intense and it was only the beginning, I believe it's a very brave thing for the author to do because not everyone appreciates the drama from the very beginning but for me it worked very we...
