Book Reviews of Sophie's Choice

Book Review: I think that this book was excellent!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

I read Sophie's Choice for a book report for my level one 10th grade English class this year. We were given a list of books to choose from. My teacher also mentioned a few others that she thought might be of interest to us. When I went to the public library I looked at all the books that seemed to have any interest to me at all. In the end, I decided to attempt reading Sophie's Choice. I love to read, and I was looking forward to a challenge. Normally I can zip right through books that I find interesting, but this one took me about 3 weeks to read due to the fact that the way Styron uses so much detail. I tried to make a goal to read so much each day, but I never seemed to reach my goal because the book was so involved. After I started reading, I realized why my teacher had asked us to make sure it was alright with our parents before we read it. Styron is extremely good with details, but I think this book is a little too much for a lot of people in my grade and maybe even people a little older then me. I encourage everyone to read this book, but to make sure you are mature enough for the details involved in it. It deals a lot with details of concentration camps and also the relationship between two main characters. Enjoy!!
