BOOK REVIEW

The Ocean at the End of the Lane

Neil Gaiman

5/10Written Feb 19, 2014
Show review marked as a spoiler

Although well-written and well-done, The Ocean at the End of the lane, was a depressing novel that made me cry for over an hour. Don't get me wrong, it was a great piece of literature, however it brought back personal memories. Such as when fluffy, the kitten died, it reminded how my fluffy cat died. At least the opal miner tried to apologize, my neighbors did not. The rest of the novel made me cry for other reasons. It was a wonderfully depressing book, but then again i am easily drawn to tears,

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

J. K. Rowling

10/10Written Apr 24, 2013

Despite it being a few years since I enjoyed this book, i can say Its well written so an intelligent 5th grader can understand (but not fully)and i enjoyed it. I remember thinking why was Harry's aunt such a "mean lady". Then my grandmother, who got me into the series, said the mother and aunt didn't get along. Ever since I've made a better effort to get along with my brother. This is a novel, a story. A good story has a good moral/lesson. That was the lesson I learned.
