100 Cupboards

Title: 100 Cupboards

Author: N.D. Wilson 

Rating: Top Shelf

This is a thrilling novel that is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat!! The book takes you on a journey into many very different worlds with protagonist young Henry York. 

   In his bedroom up in the attic he hears scratching from the other side of his wall resulting in the interest to discover what is there. After removing the plaster he finds 99 cupboards, each a portal to a new world with new adventures and new dangers. 

This was a very good book that I would recommend to any audience. It is suspenseful and contains very interesting plot twists while getting to imagine exactly what the characters are exploring. It is only 289 pages, and the author uses each page to further the story along. Not a single page is wasted!!!! Make sure you check it out at the library or grab a copy at the book store!! It is worth the read!!!

Happy reading!!!

Now that school is letting out it is time to get started on summer reading!! Which means... more posts will be up! I'm sorry for the scarcity recently, senior year kicked in. Haha! Happy summer reading!

Persepolis

Title:  Persepolis

Author: Marjane Satrapi

Rating: Bottom Shelf

  

Persepolis is a memoir told through a graphic novel. The story focuses on her life as the Iranian Revolution is going on around her and effecting her childhood. Her family is a modernistic family in the middle of a strictly religious society leading to many obstacles in their lives while searching for peace and freedom. This is a story full of family, censorship, and childhood dreams. The panels are drawn to support the story, but also to further hi light the historic events that are occurring around her as she learns more about her country, her family, and herself. There is a second book of you desire to read it after completing the first one. It is a very short read, and can be completed in a day. It was unlike anything else I have ever read. 

I personally did not care for this book. However, I am not the biggest fan of memoirs or graphic novels, so this book was much different than something I would pick to read for myself. (Thank you English class for helping me branch out.) this book was not necessarily a bad book though. I would recommend picking up a copy from the library due to the high price and it's acquired taste. Then after reading you could make your decision if it is worth the investment for you. 

If you decide this book is for you please let me know!! 

Happy reading!!

I would also like to personally apologize for my lack of posts. With International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme Exams I have been totally swamped and studying nonstop. I'll be better after testing is over!!
