June 4: Books I Had VERY Strong Emotions About (Any emotion! Did a book make you super happy or sad? Angry? Terrified? Surprised?)
1) Tess of the D’Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy.
For what Alec did to Tess I wanted him to suffer a more painful and drawn out, excruciating death. He got off too easy.
Angel really angered me. His absence and unwillingness to forgive Tess (not that she needed forgiveness for that “sin”, maybe just for not being honest with him) caused her to think even less of herself and lose hope till she was forced, as a last resort, to accept Alec’s help.
Tess’ mother is no better. Mrs. Oh-I-should-have-checked-to-see-if-this-man-was-honorable-before-I-sent-my-daughter-off-with-him. Stupid selfish woman.
2) We Need to Talk About Kevin by Lionel Shriver.
Without revealing anything, I had a book hangover when I finished it. There was so much to think about and consider.
3) The Shining by Stephen King.
So suspenseful I jumped in my seat on the bus when the passenger next to me adjusted his position in his seat.
4) Golden Son by Pierce Brown.
After that end I had to wait a while for Morning Star.
