Review: Train Man


Train Man
Train Man by Nakano Hitori

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



"What they did was something very simple: they offered to help somebody who needed help. It was a simple gesture stemming from a sense of common courtesy we all carry within ourselves."

It really is amazing how the power of encouragement and faith to a person can change their lives forever. These anonymous people weren't obliged to help Train but they did so because they really wanted to help him. There really is still hope in humanity.

Review: To All the Boys I've Loved Before


To All the Boys I've Loved Before
To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



"I think I see the difference now, between loving someone from afar and loving someone up close. When you see them up close, you see the real them, but they also get to see the real you."

I love the fact the story didn't just revolve around Lara Jean's romance but also focused on familial relationships. It's such a light and cute read that you'd just tear through the pages of this book.

Review: The Time Traveler's Wife


The Time Traveler's Wife
The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



"But I have no choice. He is coming, and I am here."

I unquestionably fell in love with this book and and have greatly enjoyed reading every page of it. The mystery of it all. The concept of time traveling. The characters. The emotions. The longing. The pain. The love. All well written by the author. This certainly is a book one must read before s/he dies.

Review: Eleanor & Park


Eleanor & Park
Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I am absolutely, undoubtedly and undeniably in love with this book. The story is so simple if you really think about it. Two young teenagers fell in love for the first time. But as simple as it may sounds, what makes the whole book beautiful is how the emotions were portrayed. How "real" the characters were. How real their feelings were. I just ran out of things to say about this book. It's just amazingly written! This'll definitely be one of my all-time favorite books!

(Thank God for bringing Rainbow Rowell to this world! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, RAINBOW!!!! AAAAAAHH!!!)

Review: The Realm of Possibility


The Realm of Possibility
The Realm of Possibility by David Levithan

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



"You think you know your possibilities
Then other people come into
your life
and suddenly there are so many
more."

I have always loved David Levithan's writing style. And combining that with free-versed poems exhibited such a powerful book of overflowing emotions.

Holy crap. Fans of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children won't be disappointed in this book!It was an absolute thrilling and enthralling adventure. If I'm gonna summarize it into just a word: awe-fucking-some!!!

Talking Pictures: Images and Messages Rescued from the Past by Ransom Riggs

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



"The passage of time makes old photographs more than just someone else's memories. When names and faces are forgotten, they pass into collective memory. In a sense, they belong to all of us."
