One of my favorite periods of time is when King Arthur ruled in England, so it wasn't hard for me to admire this tale of chivalry and valiant characters. And the characters that held those qualities, I thought, were more the outlaws than some of the knights in the story. With the humor of Wamba and the uncertain love triangles, Ivanhoe was a wonderfully fanciful story to step into.

The tone is the most obvious part of the book to write about: it's in a voice totally unique like I've never read before, but I think is only a bit similar to how Percy Jackson narrates. Holden seems unstable throughout the whole story, but I kept reading it with a sense that one day he'd fix his life somehow.

This frayed beauty of a long ago created book has the most grieved, yet stunning end of all time.

One of my favorite tv shows and the book is even better...such wit and suspense!

I really wish by the end of this book I had found out what happened to Quasimodo, even though I know him "disappearing" was part of the ending. This book richly described a time in Paris, even though fictional, with the most beauty in detail of Notre Dame. The villains are easy to hate, almost out of a Poe story. The love triangle had a slightly predictable ending, though the tragedy was saddening. Quite an end to my classic summer reading list, I must say.

This play did not disappoint! I was once told that I'm most like Rosalind out of all of Shakespeare's characters and I was so glad to finally read her character in depth. Her relationship with Orlando is so detailed and changing and one of my favorite parts of the story was how they went from: mutual crushes, to good friends to loves. The intellect of the women is truly unique from Shakespeare's other comedies.
