Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck: This is a very touching and affecting read. It's written almost as a play: the characters are shaped through realistic dialog and the scenery is evocatively described. It's a very simple and short book, that will grip you and make you feel for the characters, who are human and beautiful. It's thought-provoking and it has a great epic feeling about it. The story is well-told, at the perfect pace, and it perfectly analyzes these men's lives. The ending is brilliant and raw. I recommend this for its humanity and simple, raw portrait of life.


Bridge To Terabithia by Katherine Patterson: This is an excellent book.The characters are believable and intelligent, and the relationships between them are well-developed. The writing is appropriate for its age group and effectively conveys emotions and feelings. The plot is subtle and realistic, with a positive message delivered naturally. There are a lot of themes developed, adding depth to this story and successfully drawing you into this world. It has a great pace, that will keep you wanting to know what's going to happen, and gives you emotional blows at the right time. It's a book that everyone can enjoy!
