The Silver Linings Playbook by Matthew Quick
4.0
I think I liked this book because you do not feel time passes, it's like one minute I had begun reading and the next I was done because it keeps you entertained with the idea of knowing what happened to Pat and Tiffany, why they are in the situation in which they are during the book. I think that's what makes the book so good that it captures you with the promise that you will receive answers at the end. I also like the idea of the silver lining and the happy ending, because everyone keep telling him that sometimes in real life that doesn't happen and i know that's true but i think that doesn't mean that we have to stop believing in silver linings or happy endings and i loved that Pat never stopped believing in them.

Full Review: Bookish Wanderess
An amazing book about a complicated friendship, that deals with a variety of topics from poverty and the connection it has with education to war enemies living in the same neighborhood after the war ends. A complex story, with a lot characters, written in a beautiful yet simple way.

El Secreto by Donna Tartt

The characters were my favorite part of this book; they were enigmatic and fascinating and even when they did things or had thoughts that were disturbing, I never found myself quite disliking them. Throughout the book, there was an exploration of these characters that were so complex and so real that I found myself wondering if all of us are capable of that kind of actions without guilt or remorse.
Other that the characters, I really enjoyed the writing style. This was the first Donna Tartt book I read and I found her writing compelling and beautiful. Also, the fact that the book revolved around the study of greek literature and language was quite interesting, because through that there was a commentary about power, elitism, morality, depravity, freedom, insanity, even religion.
