Steven King I Doctor Sleep
Doctor Sleep is an excellent and highly well-written chilling read with an engaging storyline full of excitement, thrills and suspense. It is very terrifying and creepy and can give a reader a nightmare for a while.
There are many love stories, but there always will be only romance novels touching human nature and other issues between the lines. Well, classic is classic.
Jane Austen I Pride and Prejudice
Maybe predicting the future is not mission impossible, and someone has the power to see beyond our preset. I wish I could ask the author how he knew what he knew.
Agatha Christie I And Then There Were None
Every try to guess the truth makes you realise at the end that all you know is that you do not know anything.
I admit that Flowers for Algernon is the only book that made me cry. At first, you doubt your ability to read, and after a few pages, you're already crying and can’t stop tears from flowing. It is a powerful, brilliant, provoking and heartbreaking read that evokes many emotions and makes you critically reflect on intelligence, empathy, and humanity.
Daniel Keyes I Flowers for Algernon
Franz Kafka I The Metamorphosis
It is probably one of the books I will re-read, but not once. It's undoubtedly incredible, fascinating and terrifying, but it is hard to read because it is a depressing and hopeless book. It is a dystopian horror tale of a world that probably already expects us.
By the end of this book, I was crying. “The Metamorphosis” is a simple, straightforward and phenomenal story that makes you reflect on our society, human behaviours and the feelings of being a stranger. It is a difficult read because all the surreal occurrences and absurd themes described in the book are very real, which scares the most.
It is one of the world’s most beautiful and fascinating novels that touches your heart with its passionate and emotional love story. But It is not a classic love story. It also explores themes of love of the land, nature and family. It is also about customs and life despite the war.
Tschingis Aitmatow I Djamila
Anton Pavlovich Chekhov I Ward No. 6
It is a sad, poignant and thought-provoking short story that makes you question societal norms and reflect on the fragility of the human mind. It leads to the question of what normality and abnormality is and challenges the boundaries between sanity and insanity.
It is a thoughtful, moving and heartbreaking real-life story told by the young girl who captures the essence of survival and hope in her diary during the darkest period of human history. She shares her perception of war and human courage. While reading, I could not stop asking myself how much she knew and understood at a young age, what I did not understand even as an adult. She was much braver as a teenager than some of us can be.
Victor Hugo I Notre-Dame de Paris
This strong historical novel tells a beautiful, gripping, tragic story of love and sacrifice. This story is not about love and happily ever after. It seems to promise a happy ending, but only tragedy, suffering and heartbreak is all it gives.
Anna Frank I The Diary of a young girl
This is a good and gripping book that is hard to tear yourself away from reading. It is an incredibly epic, powerful and beautiful story about dreams, struggles, forbidden love and the tragic twists and turns of life. It makes you think it's hard to resist your desires, dreams and passion just as much as the twists and turns of fate.
Colleen McCullough I The Thorn Birds
