This Week's Reading!

     This week, I read "The Diary of Anne Frank". I really liked it! When I asked about it, most of my friends said it was slow and they didn't really care for it. I read it anyway, and turns out that I'm really enjoying it! There are a lot of things I could relate to, and I learned more about the Holocaust.

   Anndd, "The Odyssey". It was okay, same as usual. For me, it's one of those books that if I read laying down, I'll fall asleep. Haha. It's not my favorite novel, that's for sure. There are parts that are interesting, but most of the time I feel like it's going really slow.

     "A Good Man is Hard to Find" was actually not that bad... Reading the other posts, most disliked it. A lot. I can see why, but the story wasn't entirely boring. The parts that were boring were when they were talking about "the Misfit", and when the grandmother was talking to him. I didn't like any of the characters except for the grandmother and the mom. Reason why: 1.) The grandmother wasn't boring. 2.) The mom was barely even a character. A background character. She didn't say much. I really, and I mean REALLY didn't like the dad and the children. It looked like the dad really hated the grandmother, which is not right, and he was just a "hater" in general. The children-- OMW. They were terrible. It's a good thing they're not real, otherwise I would punch them to the point of unconsciousness.. Okay, maybe not. But they were really rude. Like when the lady at Sammy Red's told June Star (the girl) that she was cute and how she would love to have a little girl like her, she simply replied that she wouldn't want to live in a dump like that (that's not exactly what she said, but you get the idea).
     What is wrong with that family?!
