Review #9, #10 #11

Hello World,

I am ashamed, that it has been a long time since I have added a book review. I have read quite a few books, since my last book review post. 
Tonight, I am going to give you three book reviews, that I think are worth mentioning. Each one of these three books have different meanings to me and why I completely enjoyed them.

#9 The Castle by Franz Kafka:
I'm honestly surprised that I have not done a review straight after reading this! I read this book pretty much as soon as I came back from Prague. The truth is; I actually owned this book before I went to Prague. I once met someone who was obsessed with Kafka and his sense of writing, that that said person drilled into me to read some of his works. Hence why I had the book before I even knew Kafka lived in Prague during his lifetime. Being in the museum had just inspired me to read this book, and read it I did. I found I didn't quite understand anything that was being said, I also found I had to shut my brain off and just the words flow through me, for it to even make sense and it did. 
The reason why I would recommend this story is; Kafka never finished this book and for some reason it didn't bothered me but made me feel ok, this is it. I also found it really interesting how the main character just never gives up.

#10 The Architect Apprentice by Elif Shafak:
During my craving of needing to be in my happy place, which is a book shop. One of the salesman came up to me and recommended this book. After reading the back, I kind of felt compelled to read it. I really enjoyed Shafak writing that I couldn't put the book down. Shafak writes about Istanbul in the early ages, a boy who looks after a grand white elephant and becomes an apprentice to someone who is possibly the most kindest person on earth. 
There was a quote in this book, that will always stay with me and I once posted it on twitter. It goes;

"Nothing ruins the human soul more than hidden resentment." Elif Shafak: the architect apprentice.

I found this book was filled with quotes about life and being kind and working hard, that I was inspired and wanted to mould some of this writing to my way of living.

#11 If I stay by Gayle Forman:
This is one of those books where I watched the film first. 
I can get really emotional to films and books. I still cry to reading Severus Snape death and this book just had me filled with tears. How someone can watch her whole life break down and crash before her, but still makes the hardest choice of life and death is beyond me. Even when it seems as if everyone was ready to let go. The fact that she doesn't is amazing and I found myself loving this character so much more.

Rose.
