The Wolf by Lorenzo Carcaterra: Book Review

The Wolf: A NovelThe Wolf: A Novel by Lorenzo Carcaterra
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Wowww! I did not know what to expect when I downloaded this book, nor did I expect to fall completely into the world of terrorists and gangsters. The set up was a bit short and right to the point which I didn't mind, but I also wish there was more background to the life of gangsters. Also, the sadness of death to the Wolf's family was concise and to the point--not leaving any time for the reader to mourn or process what had happened to them. Though the Wolf is a gangster who has done a lot of non-exemplary things in the past, you can't help but feel sorry/bad for him as he deals with loss.

Broken Beauty Novellas No. 1

*transferred from my other blog*
I recently came across this novel by Lizzy Ford writing as Chloe Adams. It deals with a sensitive subject that I don't ever really see written about or at least not in personal emotion or real depth.
This story touches on the life of a young soon to be senior in high school and her ordeals with a devastating event.
*Spoiler alert*

This won't be a summary of the novel but I will be touching base on my feelings on certain subjects and scenarios so please DO NOT click below since there will be spoilers. There is a sensitive subject matter too so if you are uncomfortable or disturbed, then do no continue to read.
