If this weren't written in old English, I probably would have enjoyed it tbh. The plot is interesting and Hamlet makes a good character.

Interesting to see that some themes really transcend time

I really enjoyed this by the end, but the beginning didn't capture me so much

Ended up giving this a 4 star rating even though the average rating for the stories cranked out to be a 3.6. I'm not going to review each story, because again, I, frankly, do not have the time, but I'm excited to discuss this with my future, although, soon to be current, classmates.

That was...not the most valuable piece of literature. I appreciate the time and effort and heart Rupi Kaur put into her poetry, but 1. I'm not entirely sure pressing enter a bunch of times really qualifies as poetry and 2. I think I was supposed to feel things, but I...didn't.

Anyway, if you want good poetry, read some Sylvia Plath. She's a queen.

I'm not really in the business of reviewing C.S. Lewis's (or anyone's) grief, so there won't be a rating or a review. I don't find that it's my place to say how I feel about someone else's deepest parts of themselves.

Anyway, this was sad, and I have to discuss it in class later. Oop.

Not as powerful as her feminist manifesto, but still important and relevant.

Aside from a few chapters that were a tad boring to me, this book is remarkable and I urge anyone and everyone to read it. It's incredibly insightful and important. It looks at how culture is an important factor in one's success and especially establishes the idea that hard work, meaningful work, and opportunity are what really decide a person's future.

I'm not going to full review this because I basically did that in class, but I liked it, it's very poignant, but also kind of boring at times.

I'm literally crying right now.

I did not expect this book to change my life, let's just say that.

I highly recommend it for anyone wondering what life in North Korea is like. It's a true story: a compilation of the stories of many people who defected (left) North Korea.

It made me rethink every time I have ever criticized my own life. No matter how bad things can be, at least I have never experienced any of the horrors or trauma these people had in their lives.
