Revolution, By Jennifer DonnellyI recently read Revolution, and loved it. It is the story of two girls, one in New York and Paris in this time, Andi, and one who lived in paris during the revolution. Andi is struggling with depression, and her love of music. She is supposed to be working on the outline for her senior thesis, instead she finds herself reading the diary of Alexandrine. This book was so wonderful, it is a must read.
I would describe this as Thanksgiving. It isn't something you get everyday, but it is well worth the wait. It has the warm turkey, the filling stuffing, sweet cranberry sauce, creamy mashed potatoes, tasty pumpkin bread, warm apple pie and cold ice cream, chocolate silk pie, and cookies. It fills your mind with the delicious scent, so any moment away makes you hurry bake for more. It doesn't have just one flavor, but many. So it must be a full meal, and I think only thanksgiving can do this book justice.
If you are in-the-box this is a 5.
I looooooved this one too, Clare! Probably the only book I will ever read at a baseball game.

ReplyDeleteI'll be quick with it, then!
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, I'm having a bit of trouble getting absorbed in the beginning. I'm still hoping for the best, though!
