The Tattooist of Auschwitz :: Heather Morris

THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ

HEATHER MORRIS

This book is based on a true story of a man named Lale and his story of love and survival in a concentration camp.

Could you imagine volunteering to go work for the Germans thinking this will help save your family, but then finding out you are actually a prisoner in a concentration camp and forced to work or be killed? While imprisoned, your job is to give the all the new prisoners a tattoo of a number. They all become nameless once the number is finished be tattooed into their skin. Put in this line of work causes other prisoners consider you a trader you have to be careful around them for their jealousy may get the best of them, as well as always being careful around the inhuman guards. In a world of hate, jealousy, and heartless living, Lale finds his one true love. This book is sorrowful and heart-wrenching, but somehow still gives a glimmer of hope for this world.

This book I read in one weekend. (A weekend that I didn't have a lot of time to even read.) That should tell you how good it is! Absolutely mind blowing of the terrific, but true events that happened in these camps, and even more amazing being able to read it from one individuals perspective.

The Art of Racing in the Rain :: Garth Stein

THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN GARTH STEIN I have never thought that I would like a book that is written from an animals perspective. Not that I don't like animals, I do. I actually love animals. My husband and I have an eight year old Labrador Retriever, who is our baby. I could not imagine life without her and we have trouble thinking about the fact that she is getting closer and closer to the end of her life. With that being said, when I go to a book store and am picking out a new book, these types of books never seem to interest me. I finally gave in on this one and am so GLAD that I did. I have never cried reading a book and this one put tears in my eyes. This book portrays life as a dog sees it. Enzo works hard at keeping his family together during a heart wrenching custody battle. He supports his owner, and even though he does not have a human thumb and cannot talk back, he listens to his owner and has learned to communicate to the best of his abil...

A Thousand Splendid Suns :: Khaled Hosseini

A Thousand Splendid Suns Khaled Hosseini Okay everyone! This book is absolutely amazing and Khaled Hosseini is becoming one of my favorite authors! The book is written slightly differently than Hosseini's well known book T he Kite Runner , but is still AMAZING! This book is about the stories of two Afghan women, how each of them were raised (completely different) and how even though there are years apart in their age, their lives eventually intertwine with each other. Strangers, enemies, and finally family. Even though I was reading this book at a very busy time in my life, it was always on my mind. I was trying to find as much time as I could, which unfortunately wasn't much, to read this amazing book. I absolutely LOVE reading about cultures that are different than mine. I always try to imagine if I were in the situation that the character was in and what I would do. In this case one thing that stood out to me and I have always been curious about is arran...
