I recommend reading this book! Economics is everywhere. The sections about real estate, standardized testing, cheating, and names were most interesting. When the authors pointed to "words" and correlations (thoroughly researched) to them, my mouth was on the ground (figuratively speaking). I don't want to spoil this book. I would definitely read this book again. I imagine that the more you re-read this book, the more you will realize that you missed something the first couple of times.

In my opinion, this book was about Isabel and Vianne. I could relate to the book in regards to the sister dynamic. I found myself feeling like I was there living through those moments with them. The bravery that both sisters showed was so indescribable to me that I am having trouble articulating how I feel. Mulitple times throughout the book I wanted to burst into tears. The physical pain that Isabel went through when german shoulders wanted to know about the Nightingale but they didn't know it was her. The camps...

The bravery her father took by sacrificing his life for his daughters after living a life of regret after their mother died. Vianne risking her life and her body to save children so they would live full lives. This book is where heroes were born.

It was so much pain and joy equally put into a book. It was a perfect balance of triumph and sorrow. The ending definitely puts me over the edge and I was in tears.

Stevie perseverance and character really makes this book a good read.

This book just changed mind and made me more aware of my impact on others and other people’s impact on me. Initially I thought that this was a good book about a boy and his best friend. The book continued to show how the boy just kept taking from the tree and lending on the tree when he was in need. I found it difficult to read the sadness in the tree’s voice as she whispered to the boy. She just wanted that boy to play with her but he never apologize for his selfish actions toward the tree.

I now want to get the tree stump tatted on me to remind myself to never reduce someone that I love into being a stump!

To be honest, I did not get into this book into 3/4 in. I was goshhhhh get to the point why don't you. I realized at the end of the book that Madame Bovary reminded of Anna Karenina.

Least favorite of the three and thought it was just like rereading the the first and the second put together

This book was really good and makes you feel like you are on a journey with all of the characters.
