other than the Scarlet Letter, of course...

Room by Emma Donoghue

What do you think so far? Pretty amazing?

I read Room and I thought it was awesome. I love how the author used Jack's point of view. It was an interesting perspective

Taylor, I agree.I was impressed that she pulled off a child's pov. That's hard to do well.

I'm reading The Other Wes Moore! I like it so far :)

I love it! It was a little confusing at first but once I understood the boy's perspective it became so much more interesting.

Leah, is TOWM well written?

I think so! When he was describing his father's death even though I knew the bad outcome I still had an irrational sliver of hope that he would live. I think this was because of the way he wrote that part! I'm hooked!

I just started Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness-- it's fascinating so far. About a young woman who was living a pretty normal life, then she became psychotic and basically lost a month of her life. She tries to figure out what happened. She's a really good writer -- it's nonfiction.
