Welcome to Litsy!

#DashingThruDecember Carols Silent Night is one of my favorite Carol. Especially sung by a choir, and this choir sings it beautifully. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I am not okay. I love a book that destroys me. Wally Lamb develops his characters in such a way, that despite their flaws, you feel the deepest empathy for them. He manages to fill you with incredible sadness while also giving you hope. I‘m emotionally wrecked and I expect to be haunted by this one for a long time.

Gotta hand it to him!
Total body count piece.

My goal is to actually start reading through this author's catalogue starting with the one received for jolabokaflod years ago.

I loved this book! It took me a little while to finish it, because I've been so busy recently, but overall, this book was a real page turner. I recommend this book.

#BookReview

The book follows Istvan through various stages of his life. He says little more than “yeah” or “okay.” In one sense it‘s easy to read; very short blunt sentences, little in the way of dialogue. In another sense it‘s hard to read; who is Istvan, what is he thinking? Yet of course, this is the point. Definitely a book that benefits reading a review or two as you go along I think. In short - odd and intriguing, glad I read it, glad it‘s finished.

Another Wally Lamb book that breaks the heart from the very first page...

This is why I follow the Women's Prize each year more than any other.
