Just Finished


My Name is Asher Lev. Such a great read. It tears you up inside with so many emotions the entire way through. Lots of tension and excellent character development. I felt such a connection with the main character and kept talking to him in my head.

It took me longer than most novels do, but I haven't had all that much time lately either. It was very engrossing and readable but not dumbed down at all. Intelligent writing that was so meaningful and worthwhile.

Makes me want to learn to paint. And again, learn more about history.
