Book Reviews-Her Fearful Symmetry & The Little Prince
Title: Her Fearful Symmetry
Author: Audrey Niffenegger
Number of Pages: 403
Genre: Fiction
Book Number/Goal: 55/75 in 2009
Review: I would only use two words to describe this novel: bizarre & twisted. I can't say that I was all that surprised by the twists; they were pretty predictable. I enjoyed the story well-enough, until we got to the twisted part. I really wish the novel "didn't go there". I really wanted to love this book, having loved The Time Traveler's Wife. I'm glad I read it, but I honestly can't see myself reading it again. I'm very glad I got it from the library instead of buying it right off.
Title: The Little Prince
Author: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Number of Pages: 96
Genre: Fiction
Book Number/Goal: 54/75 in 2009
Review: I couldn't have picked a better day to read this book. It's a great reminder about the nature of kids and the nature of adults. I definitely see myself reading this countless times in the future...pretty much any time I feel I'm losing perspective.
