Review: The Boy at the Top of the Mountain

The Boy at the Top of the Mountain by John Boyne
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was so excited John Boyne came out with a new novel. While this books isn't emotionally as powerful as The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, it is thought provoking and heart-breaking. A young boy, Pierrot, becomes an orphan, and ends up being taken in by his Aunt Beatrix. She is a servant for a wealthy man during World War II. Pierrot finds out it is none other than Adolf Hitler. Pierrot is quickly liked by Hitler who takes him under his wing, and from that moment a young, innocent boy is changed forever.

Review: The Crown

The Crown by Kiera Cass
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The fun spirited Selection series came to a nice ending. I so enjoyed this series - the fun and lighthearted characters whose biggest problem was finding true love and literally living happily ever after. I look forward to following Kiera Cass's future novels and I hope will find them just as enjoyable.
