anisia Posted December 29, 2009 Author Posted December 29, 2009 Haha, yes, not I can't wait to take this back next Wednesday and get the other two they have at the British Council. It will make for a nice start on the 2010 reading list Also, enjoy when you get to it! Quote
anisia Posted December 30, 2009 Author Posted December 30, 2009 Finished Nobody's Boy by Hector Malot very fast, as I had expected. I’ve read this book so many times I’ve lost count. The first time I read it I was around 12 years old and it quickly became a favorite of mine. It’s the kind of book that grips your attention from the first until the last page, despite being quite long (523 pages). What makes it excellent is the fact that it’s written in Remy’s point of view, so it’s not just a monotonous description of events. You suffer with him through everything he has to endure and you have your hopes up when everything starts going right for him. It’s a touching story, one that in my opinion can be read at any age.
