Book Review: Mesmerizing
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is truly an amazing journey through a unique and interesting family history. At times you feel like the numerous ghosts present throughout the story, wandering purposely in and out of the many characters lives. A very entertaining journeyBook Review: allende is amazing!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
at first go, i thought house of the spirits was
a pure imitation of marquez's 100 years of solitude.
while the ideas of magical realism and a family
history are very marquez-esque, allende makes
the characters her own. they are loveable and
their stories are engrossing. allende's words and
ideas encompass the reader immediately and the story
moves quickly and beautifully. all in all, the novel
is inredible. the depiction of clara is incredible,
amazing and very real. there is nothing not too
love about this novel. the only thing that ruined
it for me was the resemblence to the marquez novel.
however, house of the spirits is definitely worth
reading.Book Review: It's a fabulous ride
Summary: 4 Stars
